Captain's Log, Star Date 67325-9: The 1st Officer and I have led an away team on a shuttle to the Roaming Archipelago. Upon arriving in the sector we have been greeted by Torling Pirates. They have been following closely for some time now. We are unsure of their intent and they will not respond to any of our hailing requests. We are proceeding cautiously toward our destination at Snake Bay. If successful, we will be rewarded with a bounty of Sydian that the Federation critically needs; countless lives depend on it. However, we fear our lives and our ship are at risk, should the intents of the Torlings be malevolent.
