Space Pirate Logs

:Not to be confused with Pirate Logs written by the Space Pirates in the Bermuda System.
The Space Pirates kept data logs of their experiences on Aether. These can be acquired by scanning certain of their computer terminals in their base in the Agon Wastes.
According to the Metroid Prime 2: Dark Echoes Q&A, the characters at the end of these logs are Space Pirate timestamps.https://shinesparkers.net/metroid-prime-2-dark-echoes-qa/6/

Within the Metroid Prime 2: Echoes Bonus Disc exist some slightly altered Pirate Log entries that were altered in the final release. The Artifact of Chozo is used as a placeholder model for the entries' Logbook model. Very strangely, Logs 70136 and 71599 in the Data Network appear to be swapped, despite displaying their respective final timestamp number within the entries itself. It is possible there was a change in order of events during development, or this may simply be an error. The following lists any Space Pirate Log entries with significantly or noteworthy altered text:
===Log 44681===
Minor text changes made to the final include "detected" becoming "have discovered" and "underway" having a space (appearing as under way). Curiously, the Dasha system instead reads as the "Aether system" in the Bonus Disc.
===Log 54421===
In the Bonus Disc, It in the sentence "Most importantly, It is the prime location of Phazon in this sector." (after the comma) is strangely capitalized.
===Log 63622===
The second to last sentence read: " The troops have begun to call her the "Dark Hunter." ". This was likely shortened in the final as to avoid having an extra line of text for one word (as seen in the Bonus Disc).
===Log 69898===
In the Bonus Disc, focused is incorrectly spelled with an additional s (focussed).
===Log 70136 (07.159.9)===
Minor differences include a capital H in "Hunter" and "combined assault" was changed to "new assault" in the final (the prototype Log entry makes it sound more like the Pirates believed both Hunters were working in unison). The most significant difference is that the entry in the Bonus Disc mentions a different encounter with the Two Hunters, where Dark Samus would have assaulted Samus's Gunship, an event the Pirates somehow witnessed. It is unclear if this would have been related to the opening cutscene where Samus's ship was downed from a powerful atmospheric lightning strike. This encounter may have been removed likely to preserve the gunship's safe "concealed" status from the enemies. 
===Log 71599 (07.013.6)===
"cruiser" was changed to "vessel" in the final. Based on its timestamp in the Data Network sidebar, this entry's events would have taken place after Samus's landing, marking this entry as the last Space Pirate Log recorded. While this appears to be a mistake made by developers, there is a small possibility that, given the context of the last paragraph of the entry, Log "70136"'s Bonus Disc entry, and the scrapped Galactic Federation hint, indicates there was to be a much different list of events made during the initial development of Echoes.
