Greetings,
On behalf of the staff, share-holders and management of the Search/Destroy Agency I would like to extend greetings to the BPA.
I enclose a copy of our information guide.(click link below)
Our base of operations is The Doghouse in New London orbit.
The BPA has very graciously processed licenses to carry nomad technology for two of our vessels.
Please let us know if there will be any charges for orbital docking fees or administration costs.
If the agency can ever be of any use to the BPA, please do not hesitate to contact me. We are presently fulfilling a contract against the OPG and would like to be considered for contractual security work that the BPA may be offering.

Gentlemen,
as I was on a short patrol right before today's training session, we encountered a Harvester unit, namely Harvester-10. The machine started to engage Captain Vimes, so I forwarded a quick message to my cousin Timothy, who got his Challenger to the scene.
As he arrived, a mercenary, Nikogon, (equipped with Nomad weaponry) started firing onto the bomber, claiming he "had a job". As Timothy is still a very fresh recruit to our ranks, I doubt the bounty on his hand was planned long before. It seems quite likely that somehow, the machine hired said mercenary.
Another option would be that he is infested...quite possible, looking at his equipment.
A bounty on the mercenary will be uploaded to the NSY Wanted.
Anyways, I am currently doing the in-session training with Constable Brown and Captain Vimes. I suggest we repeat said training each week.

Subject: First Patrol Back
-Sip- Greetings all you lads, I'm back from my long absence. And I had and exceptional day on patrol. Powering up my Challenger, I launched and headed to New London because one of those blasted Power Gnomes was there. I found him sitting right next to the Cambridge Jump Gate in a Praetorian. I ordered him to stop firing on our boys but he refused, I was forced to destroy him.
Aftert this, I spotted a trader carryin 5 units of Marijuana. I told him our laws regarding this drug but he decided to run. I followed him to Cambridge were he docked at the Planet. As I negotiated our search parties were looking for him but he had some of our boys! I had no choice but to agree to let him go for the drug offense in exchange for our boys. However, this was successful.
Finally I found a mercenary with Nomad Weaponry, and he was unlicensed flying a Sabre. I told him our laws several times but he refused and openned fire. He was tearing my ship apart until Navy backup arrived. I was forced to run but my backup dealt with him.
All in all, it was a good first day back on the job.
Long live the queen!

Gentlemen,
quite a succesful patrol today! As I left the NSY launchpad together with Mr Vimes and Mr Farbridge, we spread through Bretonia in order to keep the space safe.
In Leeds, Vimes and Farbridge got on the tail of a smuggler, Blubba_Squat, transporting CSoft towards Dublin. They had to break off the chase when he took the Jump Hole to said system.
Later, in New London, our scanners took up traces of something big: a Molly Cruiser! The_Reclaimer was sitting at a little distance from Southampton and it's Captain seemed quite uninformed about the truce between our two nations. While I had called Timothy to get his Challenger out - just in case - the Captain of the Reclaimer decided to leave willingly.
I think it is time that the Treaty of Dublin gets signed...
Just as the Reclaimer had left, a Harvester unit - this time Harvester_30 - appeared. Together with the trusted bounty hunter Cheshire, Mr Vimes, Mr Farbridge and Timothy engaged the unit, flying a Corsair Gunboat.
After the loss of Cheshire's vessel (no worries, we got the pod and returned it to Sheffield after the fight), we managed to disable that terrifying toaster:
Footage of the fight against Havester_30
As we had some time later, Mr Farbridge's Hussar received the needed Nuclear Mine launcher and Timothy got his armor upgrade.
Fly safe out there, gentlemen!

No big issues happened during todays patrol. Some Samura ships lost their way and showed up infront of London, and ended beeing blown up by a BAF patrol. I took their escape pods with me. About 5 Mollys tried to raid London too, got blown up by me. Same with some Corsairs/Outcasts. Afterwards went to Leeds, but saw noone there. Went off duty then. Pictures of the imprisoned pilots attached.
In a brilliant tactical movement, i charged backwards.

Lieutenant Brinkley here,
This chap flashed red on my scanner when I saw him entering New London. Turns out you chaps have fined him a hefty 7 million for trafficking artifacts and assisting the corsairs. Well you know how we in the QCO feel about the corsairs...
Now on top of that he was carrying a hold full of copied software. All highly illegal of course, but that doesn't concern a military man. I took him into custody, only for the blighter to take advantage of the distraction caused by a passing corsair patrol and off he went to Dublin. I last picked him up near Arranmore, but he made good his escape.
I am recommending to my superior officer and to the BPA that his vile actions earn him Kill On Sight status. His refusal to pay the fine is a trifling matter next to his nose-thumbing to the Bretonian military and his assistance of the filthy corsair weasels.
God Save The Queen

A wonderful day!
Today, I launched from New London only to find a Corsair pestering an underarmed Civilian. I shooed him off, and he left without much debate. He seemed very civil, and I wouldn't mind seeing more Corsairs acting like that.
Next, I heard that the KNF were smuggling through Dublin again. I contacted the QCR officer named Something Thomas. We attempted to intercept the KNF, and met a man from the BPS. Now, if at all possible I would like to see these men tried for treason! They denied they allegiance to the queen, allowed the KNF to pass through Dublin with nothing more than a "What are your intentions?" and slandered the QCRF and BPA's name by implying that we were Rogue factions! I have here the proof!
After this, I was hailed by a member of the Search and Destroy Agency regarding the Nomad Licenses. He payed for two of them, and I offered him a job to intercept the KNF on their way back through Edinburgh. He accepted the job for 1.5 million credits per ship kill, seeing as how the ships were a Gunboat named Sukumei and a Kishiro Big Dragon Transport.
We intercepted the KNF, and destroyed the Transport when it refused to halt and the Gunboat fired on us. We left the gunboat be, though, as I was running low on Shield Batteries and Nano Bots, and my Countermeasures and Mines had been ripped off. After this retreat, the Gunboat then slandered me, saying that I had no honor. I told him that I would not exchange insults, and would handle myself civilly as an officer of any law enforcement agency or navy should. He responded with a laugh, and I left him at that. Hopefully this will show those Kusari that even though we aren't a Navy, we are more than a match for them in our own territory!
ON a side note, the S/D-Stix Gunboat should be payed his 1.5 million if anyone sees him. He did a wonderful job this evening.
[8:32:45 PM] Dusty Lens: Oh no, let me get that. Hello? Oh it's my grandma. She says to be roleplay.
[12:49:19 AM] Elgatodiablo: You know its nice that you have all that proof and all, Bacon... but I just don't believe you.

Exemplary work, Constable! Your did well to retreat from the hostile gunboat, as there is no sense in taking any unnecessary risks.
About the vessels tagged [BPS], I've also seen some of them myself and I advise to be cautious with them. This matter will be put under further investigation, as neither the QCRF nor us have got any reliable intelligence on the intentions of this self-proclaimed security division.
I suggest to inform civilians that the [BPS] holds no policing authority in Bretonia if we are around.
But the Raven, sitting lonely on that placid bust, spoke only
That one word, as if his soul in that one word he did outpour.
Nothing further then he uttered; not a feather then he fluttered--
Till I scarcely more than muttered, "Other friends have flown before--
On the morrow he will leave me, as my Hopes have flown before."
<blockquote>Then the bird said, "Nevermore."</blockquote>
