Topic:Kidnapping and Assault
Clearance: SENSITIVE

Dear Colleagues,

Sergeant Jodie Flynn, Sergeant Ibram Maso, Sergeant Edward Butcher: these names we all know. May they rest in peace. Special Constable Bob Pickering might easily have been next on that list. For I have been the victim of a brutal assault by the very worst the Leeds criminal underworld has to offer.

The day began like any other. During my patrol, I was called upon by Special Constable Harding from Traffic Control, who, along with my good friend Special Constable -now Sergeant- Montgomery, was dealing with a situation spiralling out of control. Intervention was needed from someone with expertise in de-escalation, such as myself. Two freelancers were causing havoc, and though I shan't delve too deeply into the specifics, one of them, “Jason McGillion” (alias: “Bob”), received a minor fine for Deeds Prejudicial to the Good Conduct of Public Affairs and a warning for tampering with evidence.

This freelancer created quite the scene, attracting the attention of curious onlookers, as well as some rather... seedy characters with less-than-pure intentions. Among the gathering crowd, I spotted the vessel [MFE]~Penicillin, its notorious captain being the subject of one of my ongoing investigations into illicit drug trafficking and possibly a member of a larger criminal network that I’ve yet to fully uncover. The captain, “Dr” Isabella Saito, was behaving in a most disruptive manner. She was repeatedly asked to maintain her distance and yet persisted, all the while fraternising with our intern, McAscott: a vulnerable individual who, regrettably, still appears to be susceptible to the allure of a life on the wrong side of the law.

Once the first troublemaker was dealt with, I turned my attention to the second freelancer. “Arthur Watts” displayed a markedly aggressive attitude, but as he was homeless, I suspected he was simply angling for a hot meal and a roof over his head. I surmised he hoped to be arrested, but alas for him, BPA Newgate is a prison, not a charity hotel. Instead, I let him off with a warning for harmful conduct involving local wildlife for he had been observed disturbing wildlife migratory patterns, as noted by multiple constables, myself included.

Mr Watts did not appreciate this leniency, claiming that he was in fact not disturbing wildlife. I had to remind mr Watts that I am no agent of the Bureau of Wildlife and Agriculture, and therefore lack the authority to make such a distinction. He proceeded to attack me without provocation. To make matters worse, another bystander -a Gaian- joined in the fray, seizing the opportunity to inflict as much harm as possible on us, the first responders. The damage to my Hawfinch fighter was so severe that I was regrettably forced to deploy my escape pod, unable to defend myself adequately. No doubt, this was met with loud cheers from “Dr” Isabella Saito, who seems to harbour some villainous personal vendetta against me.

While this turn of events was most unfortunate, it was not particularly shocking. As first responders, we are often the first targets in the line of fire in the fight against crime. This was not my first rodeo, as the Libertonians say. On the beat, you learn to rely on your fellow constables and only them. A BAF Commander, on passing by, even went as low as mocking the situation all together, calling Mr Watts a hero.

However, the real horror, indeed, a truly nightmarish experience, occurred after my defeat. Left defenceless in the vastness of space, I was deliberately kidnapped, drugged, and subjected to violent mistreatment by the monster known as “Dr” Isabella Saito and her crew. Under the guise of humanitarian work, this kingpin, drug dealer, and madwoman robbed me of my freedom, assaulted me, and injected my body with a vile concoction of illicit substances from which I am still recovering.

Of all the challenges I’ve faced as a constable, this was by far the most terrifying, repulsive, and violent attack I have ever endured. By the end of this ordeal, during which I completely lost track of time, I was unceremoniously dumped on Planet Prague by “Dr” Isabella Saito’s lackeys. While the physical injuries will heal, I fear the mental scars will remain with me forever. A part of me was left behind on that horror ship, [MFE]~Penicillin. What I endured there is something I wouldn’t wish upon my worst enemy.

It is my hope that the violent maniac, Isabella Saito, will be apprehended, given a fair trial (a courtesy I was denied aboard her dreadful ship) and locked away, so that she can no longer claim another victim. We must stand firm: Keep your dirty hands off our first responders!

This dreadful ordeal coincides with the day of my promotion, a moment I cannot truly celebrate due to the deep emotional wounds I now bear. Nevertheless, I wish to take this opportunity to congratulate Montgomery on her well-deserved promotion. Monty, I beg of you: please do keep an eye on McAscott, you seem to be the only one able to get through to her and protect her from the influence of scoundrels like the half-Maltese “Dr” Saito.

PS: On a personal note, Martin and I are deeply grateful for the support, kind words, and concern shown by you, our colleagues, friends, and family. You all mean the world to us. <3

RE: CDI) - COCS Bulletins - Madvillain - 11-30-2024

From: Sergeant Bob Pickering, CDI.
To: COCS Database
Topic:Patrol Report Nov 29, 834 AS (Saito Case)
Clearance: SENSITIVE

At approximately 20:45 Bretonian Mean Time, Sergeant Montgomery and I commenced our joint patrol. We set up orbit around New London for our rendezvous, as I had already spent some time conducting a stake out near the Cambridge jump gate beforehand. Upon arrival, we unexpectedly encountered Intern McAscott once again meeting with an unsavoury contact, Not.A.Brick, who is known to have ties with the violent terrorist, Captain Belmont, of the cruiser Unto.Nightfall|S8.

The freelancer was speaking in what could only be described as incoherent gibberish, mentioning a cursed helmet, pineal amulets, and other bizarre topics. At one point, Montgomery and I considered arresting him for a 3.6 violation, but things quickly took a turn when he began singing on the network of Isabella Saito, a suspect in an ongoing investigation concerning the assault, criminal battery, and kidnapping of Bretonian Constables, namely myself and Sergeant Montgomery, disguised as a medical assistance effort following the Leeds incident.

Our conversation shifted to a "John Henry Holliday", leader of the MFE, and Saito’s superior, which caught our attention. Though he is not suspected of any crimes, he might be a person of interest in our ongoing investigation of the Saito case. At this point, Intern McAscott began protesting, possibly due to the pressure we were putting on our new informant. However, Sergeant Montgomery, displaying remarkable skill, managed to jog the informant’s memory on Saito.

It was then that Intern McAscott began to protest vehemently, calling Montgomery and myself “stupid clowns” who should have been “dumped into space.” Both Montgomery and I decided it best to allow her some time to cool off. Police work on the beat can be highly stressful, and to be fair, McAscott had done an excellent job in forwarding this informant to us. Stress is a silent enemy on the beat, and we Constables support one another, even in moments of emotional distress.

As McAscott stormed off, I was in the process of explaining to our informant that McAscott is a bright young intern with a promising future who simply needs space to grow, when Saito’s ship, the Penicillin, pinged on PLOPS.

Meanwhile, McAscott was having something of a meltdown, bless her, disputing the idea of “slandering people with good intentions” and so forth. I would like to take a moment to acknowledge that we have all, at some point early in our careers, faced similar crises of conscience. We’ve all questioned the morality of our work, feeling sympathy for individuals who seem good but later turn out to be threats to society. Aware of this, Montgomery and I opted to give McAscott the space she needed to vent while we focused on the task at hand.

At this point, PLOPS indicated that the Penicillin was using the tradelanes and heading straight for our location when suddenly, the spooks appeared out of nowhere, and (REDACTED). The BIS officer, callsign Sorcerer, asked us if the situation was under control and (REDACTED) as the Penicillin emerged from the tradelane, blasting its propagandistic message to lure innocent bystanders into its trap over the system-wide transmission waves.

Spoiler

We were soon joined by Special Constable Arai, who had come to investigate the commotion. On the comms, we heard the voice of the suspected kidnapper, Saito, who wasted no time in taunting us, calling us her “favourite patients.” A back-and-forth ensued, with the BIS officer (REDACTED) and informing Saito (REDACTED).

During questioning by the BIS officer, suspect Saito put forward an easily disproven lie:

Spoiler

Intern McAscott, witnessing that the questioning was not going in favour of her associate, Saito, began acting out in a fully subversive manner:

Spoiler

Meanwhile, the BIS interrogation was escalating as well:

Spoiler

The situation dragged on for some time until we received a distress call from a civilian transport ship heading to New London via Cambridge, which was being pursued by a Corsair cruiser. We immediately responded, heading at full speed towards the Cambridge gate, where a hostage situation was about to unfold.

I will conclude my report here, leaving it to Sergeant Montgomery or Special Constable Arai (whose efforts I highly praise) to report on our success in resolving the hostage situation without firing a single shot. However, it must be noted that our efforts were continuously hampered by Saito, who tailed the first responders to the scene.

I would request that Inspectors handle the Saito situation or consider expanding our rules of engagement to allow us to deal with her ongoing interference and threats to our police work.Furthermore, I believe it would be in the best interest of Intern McAscott to be taken in for a discussion with one of our senior Constables. She seems to be under the influence of the charismatic figures within the Bretonian criminal underworld, though I am convinced that her actions stem from a place of naivety. It is not too late to guide her back onto the right path. In the past, I mistakenly saw her as a significant player in this criminal network, but it is now clear she is merely a pawn. It is our duty to protect her and, with the right guidance, she may well one day become a fine constable.

Yours sincerely

I apologize for the lack of updates lately, I have been kind of swamped down in work from the promotion and moving my flat out to Sprague. But I am pleased to report that a side project of mine has finally come to fruition. The refurbished Ceres 100T hulk that we've had rotting in the impound lot for the last 5 years has been made space worthy again. We've had some issues with, well, rats, but the techs assure me that they're all cleared out. The entire interior has been gutted and rebuilt, and we've installed a modern power core and rebuilt the engines from the ground up. So far, the HMC Wendsleydale has passed all her initial inspections and trials. I am going to get some crewmen assigned to it in short order, and I am hoping to take the ship out for a proper shakedown later today during our prisoner transfer into Kusari.

Yours sincerely

Ey Jacky

Word from the wise - the techs will tell you they've got rid of the rats, but they ain't. What they'll have done is put down some baited poison in the service conduits and called it good. That don't work, never has. Spaceport rats are a different breed, they got wise to that shite centuries ago. Had the same issue with the Wollaton when she was restored from mothball.

What you want to do is flash your new sergeant's badge, throw your weight around, and demand a vacuum sweep. Full depressure. Vent every compartment, crawl-space and conduit - concurrent, not sequential! Properly tests your atmo rig, plus the squeaky fuckers will be dead right quick. Mind, you'll likely not find the bodies until much later when they start stinking real bad.

This'll get rid of a whole bunch of other bugs and nasties that are probably hiding out in there too, although it won't get rid of lice. Need chemicals for that, and Finance won't sign off on those unless you've got a serious infestation. So, there's that.

Cheers

From: Sergeant Bob Pickering, CDI.
To: COCS Database
Topic:PATROL REPORT DEC 09 , 834 AS (Saito Case/Leeds Shooting)
Clearance: SENSITIVE

At approximately 20:00 Bretonian Mean Time, I began a routine patrol of the Leeds system, sans my usual partner, Sergeant Montgomery, who was off-duty for the day. During my patrol, Dispatch notified me of an individual, one G. B. Beverly, a rather eccentric academic from New Cambridge, who had lodged a complaint. He claimed that someone had been rooting through his rubbish bins outside his manor. Beverly described the culprit as a "band of hungry raccoons," though one suspects there may have been a touch of hyperbole in his account.

Considering the unpredictable nature of Leeds and its well-documented reputation for escalating situations, I promptly called for backup, requesting Special Constable Travis Felts to rendezvous with me at the New London Jumpgate.

Upon arrival, I quickly identified a familiar presence: Dr. Isabella Saito and her ship of medical horrors, the [MFE]~Penicillin. Dr. Saito and her crew were loitering near the jumpgate, once again indulging in their tiresome discourse on "humanitarian aid" and other such inanities. What caught my attention, however, was the presence of one Victor Steiner, former Director of the H.M. S.I.S. It soon became clear that Beverly's allegations were aimed squarely at Steiner, and that Dr. Saito had hired mercenary escorts, equipped with Pirate IFFs and LGN| signature, who were circling around Steiner in a rather menacing manner, clearly attempting to intimidate him.

With tensions mounting, I wasted no time in putting my best de-escalation techniques to work, hoping to avoid things spiralling out of control. Special Constable Felts soon arrived on the scene to back me up, and together we worked to keep the situation in check. However, things took a rather unfortunate turn when a Gallic Royalist war criminal appeared on the scene, seemingly spoiling for a fight. Steiner, clearly on edge, suggested that the most expedient course of action would be to deal with the war criminal by way of summary execution.

The situation rapidly deteriorated, with Felts and Steiner engaging the Gallic Royalist. Whilst under a nigh constant verbal barrage of lambasting from Saito, I took up a defensive position setting up a safety perimeter to cover the pair. Despite their combined efforts, the two were ultimately overpowered, and Steiner was forced to eject from his vessel. With no time to lose, I entered the fray, bringing my heavy weapons expertise to bear in what became a brief but intense exchange. Thanks to a combination of swift thinking, precise action, and excessive violence, I was able to subdue and arrest the war criminal.

Guncam Footage

Meanwhile, Dr. Saito, ever the conniving opportunist, seemed to be watching the situation unfold, looking for any opportunity to further her own interests. When she moved to seize Steiner’s ejection pod, I couldn't shake the suspicion that she might have less-than-honorable intentions, considering her past actions, including the incident where she had abducted Montgomery and myself during a previous encounter. I issued a firm warning, demanding she release the pod immediately, or else face severe consequences. Special Constable Felts, showing commendable determination, managed to retrieve the pod from her grasp. We then quickly made our way back to Planet New London, where Steiner was promptly taken for a medical check-up to ensure no further harm had come to him.

In closing, I would like to commend Special Constable Felts for his remarkable bravery during the incident. His actions under pressure were exemplary, and I firmly believe he should be put forward for a wage raise. It is conduct like his that all Constables should aspire to emulate.

All

Cambridge's Board of Regents has submitted a complaint to the Home Office and Admiralty Board about the state of security throughout Cambridge and Omega-3. They're concerned about the increasing rate of attacks by both Corsair and Molly raiders.

This has apparently been made our problem primarily, and the Chief Inspector has asked as a matter of urgency that some high visibility patrols are organised to sweep the length of The Line, range out to the Omega-7 Jump Gate, and then return to Planet Cambridge.

Put your lights on, look official and make a lot of noise. That should settle the Regents down so we can focus on intelligence-led rather than performative policing.

Ma'am, I did my run and I ran the flag as requested. There were two minor issues with trade ships not listening to requests for inspections in Cambridge, but that matter is somewhat overshadowed by what I'd call a large scale Rheinland sting operation in the middle of Omega-3. A large wing of MND and unmarked ships had blockaded the wreckage of Aland shipyard with the intent of capturing or destroying two SynthFoods Inc ships. They cited these vessels as having been reported stolen, but at some point after they arrived there appeared to be a breakdown of communication between SFI and the MND. I offered to defer the processing of the detainees to our facilities on Sprague until the matter with SFI's transport manifests could be sorted out, one of the MND pilots demanded to inspect the facilities. While I was escorting him to the location however, the MND moved the SFI ships out of the area. While it is probably not my position to question the motives and movements of a foreign house intelligence group, I cannot help but find their actions somewhat concerning, since they are effectively conducting a sting operation in our jurisdiction. Can we please cross check with BretGov for their legal clearance to do so, and maybe contact someone from intelligence services to see if this is some form of overreach. I am confident that CDI would have been able to detail and process the crew of these vessels if Rheinland authorities had alerted us to their known route into Bretonian space. I will attach a communications log and a pair of guncam shots for your review.

Communications Log

EDIT: (15/12/834 11:01)
I couldn't sleep this morning, so I find myself pouring over pertinent paperwork to the matter above. It's been bothering me since I realized late last night that there were at least 3 different reasons given by the MND for stopping these ships; fines, theft, safety hazards. None of these warrant such a large response force. Rheinland proper does not recognize Omega-3 as being within their territory, and specifically designates this area as being under our jurisdiction from the Omegas Security Agreement of November 13 829 AS. The MND's detainment of the Synthfoods ships yesterday should have been done by Bretonian law enforcement, however the MND could be viewed as having violated Military Article 5 of the Security Agreement for failing to share information on this 'group' of suspects. Also in none of Rheinland's treaties I can access through the BretGov channels does it show anywhere that they hold any kind of law enforcement authority within Omega-3. So this technically could count as a UKBCIL Regulation 3.1 breach on part of the MND. Additionally, Pickering informs me that an MND ship was in the Cambridge system as part of this operation of theirs. That itself is a gross overstep of their authority, and I strongly advise contacting the BIS on the matter.

Yours sincerely
