Letters to the Stars/Cpt. Galligaskin - O1

Cpt. Galligaskin of the Minute Rice, 
Smooth sailing so far, though I admit to a certain amount of unease about the nature of our mission. So little is known about the mysterious deep-ether signal that we've been sent to investigate, and my refitted colony ship and privateering background are so seemingly unqualified for dealing with occult matters, that, at risk of sounding insubordinate, I can't help but feel that this is going to be one of those missions where my own status reports get used in the next guy's mission briefing after my ship mysteriously fails to return. Still! That makes writing these reports all the more meaningful, I suppose.
One small bit of trouble, some sort of vermin apparently made its way on board prior to departure. Sgt. Sapir in Security thinks some of the crew must've smuggled them in, I personally think they might have gotten in via the cargo bay when we restocked victuals, but whatever the case, they're now loose on both the cargo deck and crew deck. It certainly doesn't help that some of the crew have taken such a liking to them. Sgt. Sapir has been organizing extermination squads to try to sweep the infested areas, but whether due to sympathetic shipmen or simply through natural fecundity, the damned critters so far seem to have been outbreeding the culling effort. We're working on brainstorming some alternative methods for population control.
Lt. Doko of the science team has been poring over a comparative analysis between the bizarre signal we're to investigate and some of the old Imperium's methods for artificially encoding Elder Script. No progress as of yet though. Stand by for further updates. Galligaskin out.
