Rorschach Logbook Entry

 //--AUTO TRANSCRIPT FROM UES [REDACTED], BRIG OFFICER'S INTAKE NOTES: W----- K-----, ''Rorschach''--//

We've gotta keep this guy locked up until the sun goes supernova.

''Rorschach'' was all anyone knew him by until we pulled his file. He dresses like some detective from last century, refuses to respond to his real name. Before the arrest he kept mostly to himself, barely anyone got a real read on him. He fought like a rabid dog when we tried to get the helmet off of him during the arrest. Screamed bloody murder about 'taking his face off,' and broke both the orbitals of one of our guys with his bare hands. The guy's an entire nut orchard. 

Once we had him chained up and sedated enough to speak with him, he had a full soliloquy on the UES and its 'black underbelly' prepared. I had heard him speak maybe twice the entire voyage up until his arrest, and afterwards we couldn't shut him up for a full two hours. I think he might have a grudge against us. Seems he's infiltrated the organization to try and dig up some dirt, or worse yet, sabotage the mission. 

If sabotage was his intent, he's certainly done his homework. One look at me and he was able to list off my full name, home address, and the names of 3 generations of family members. He knows what I order when I go to the burger shop. I shudder to think what kind of dirt he's got on some of the high ranking officers. 

We've got war vets, hired assassins, crazy tech wizards aboard this ship. All kinds. Rorschach is a different breed of dangerous. He's absolutely off his rocker; but there's cold, calculating malice underneath. Someone who's convinced themselves they're in the right, and that any sacrifice would be justified in achieving their goals. If it wasn't for UES brass wanting a word with him, I'd be staking my job on trying to get him airlocked instead of trying to hold him in the brig. On a mission like this, something's bound to go wrong.

And the instant something does go wrong, he's the most dangerous man aboard this ship.
