Greetings everyone,
First announcement of the day, the ranks of the BPA have been expended to include a Senior Constable and Commander rank. Promotions have been made, and provisions have been to accommodate others for promotions and observe their performance to determine just who might qualify for that.
Secondly, I would like to welcome back Mr. Price and welcome Mr. James to our organization. We're growing, again, and that is a good thing, to be sure. Bretonia can never be too safe.
Thirdly, my patrol report. At first, I took position outside Canterbury, and I spotted a Zoner named Gas with Counterfeit Software. After a very long conversation, I called in the BAF, and, together with Canterbury and Kensington (//Lucky me, the NPCs started shooting\\), he was eliminated. A pity, really.
After this, the BAF had detained a Kusari transport by the name of Solarus. They could not, however, ensure that he was docile because of an escort mission they had received, and I was left to question him about his intentions. After a bit, Admiral Percy Nells. He assisted me in the questioning of the Kusari ship, who turned out to be a Libertonian, but, it was cut short when we met a Junker.
The Junker was headed to Dublin with a hold of Military Vehicles. Admiral Nells thought the material should be confiscated immediately, and the man fined, however, I instead escorted him to Planet Leeds with the Military Vehicles without much of a fuss. There, though, I met up with Mr. Vimes and we continued our patrol.
Mr. Vimes and I encountered a Libertonian with a hold full of Boron headed to LD-14 via the Stokes lane. Because of its occupied nature, we directed the man to the gauntlet, where we'd escort him, however, he had a Jupiter Guild Transport, and so AllYourBase used the Trade Lane to Stokes. To ensure that he wasn't a smuggler, I asked a Mercenary to follow him and see if he was lying, however, Isabel.Ren.Loawai never reported back to me for payment, despite the fact that the transport and its escort did return from LD-14...
While this occurred, a Junker came into Leeds arguing with a Freelancer, who had apparently fired on him. In an attempt to calm the situation, I called both of them to the Planet, but was called away by Mr. Vimes to investigate a Molly. A warning was issued to both .:J:.Steven.McMillan and Carmen.Lopez that any further violence would result in legal action, and I hope for their sakes that it was listened to.
After this occurrence, Admiral Nells and I had a word, which I'll talk to the Sectional Chiefs regarding.
Busy night,
~Abigail Thorn

Ahoy there laddies!
Right, Its good to be back in the ol BPA. My patrol ship is fully fitted and ready for action
PATROL REPORT 1
Dispatch informed us that there was a high presence of the Kusari Navy and the Colonial forces in Leeds. the BAF moved into Leeds to intercept them, Constable Geoff Iffrey and myself managed to tag along. However when we arrived the CR retreated and the KNF stayed at thier pitiful battleship, those cowards. We did however ran into a Freelancer named Carmen.Lopez who assualted a Bretonian Naval Pilot and was also considered a spy. We were ordered to arrest her. When I told her to halt multiple times she did not respond. I ordered my wingman, Iffrey to open fire. A battle ensued for a while until Geoff was shot down, I managed to grab hold of his pod and retreated as the BAF arrived to take over my spot.
Later that day I was joined by Samuel Vimes and the new recruit Matthew Raynes. I hereby confirm that Mr. Raynes did indeed shadow me and has completed one of his requirements for the AFO certificate.
Well back to having tea and biscuits with my mates..

Good day everyone,
This will be short, as it is supplement to Senior Constable Price's report.
After getting another of our Hussars destroyed by that Freelancer, who's name is actually Carmen.Lopez, I found that there was a more serious problem on my hands than being stuck in a cargo hold.
The Freelancer had tractored in my list of civilians under surveillance.
Terrible, I know, but don't fret. I managed to get it back!
It cost me hours of negotiation and my entire life savings but, hey, he threatened to sell it off to the Mollys. I couldn't let that happen!
Anyway, it was an incredible experience that has inspired me to double my efforts.
Partly because of the event itself, and partly because of the dent it left in my wallet.

Evening everyone,
Our patrol started at Planet New London, consisting of Myself, Constable Price, Constable Scott and Constable Savins. After finding nothing interesting in New London, our patrol took us to the Leeds system, which again was nothing of interest. We then went into the Newcastle system, but nothing came up there either. We returned to New London where Price left the patrol, and Scott went for a quick break. This was when Constable McNabb joined us and assumed command of the patrol. This point we came across a pair of Molly gunboat in New London, we tried to find them and eventually came across one near Planet New London.
At this time however a Corsair fleet was building up near Battleship Norfolk, the comms officer on the Norfolk hailed requesting assistance in the matter. After informing the Mollies of the Corsairs, both the Patrol and the Mollies turned and went to meet the Corsair threat with full force, with Constable Scott rejoining us. The battle consisted of one loss, Constable Scott, however his escape pod was taken in and was unharmed. After the battle we parted ways with the Mollies and headed home to New London. We had no encounters on the way back, we were all home in time for extra tea and biscuits!
Battle Report from Cambridge Encounter:
Patrol:
Constable McNabb - Survived.
Constable Scott - Ejected and Survived.
Constable Raynes - Survived.
Constable Savins - Survived.
Mollies:
All ships survived including the Cruiser.

Greetings,
I am Dean Garrison, and I have a report to file.
I just got back in my ship after repairing it on the HMS Derby, I don't know why I was on the Derby, but people stared at me and...kicked my pet...anyways, this report comes from the Cambridge system where today, me and Junior Constable Matthew Raynes was trying to halt a Corsair freighter. Now, we both don't have our AFO's to use bigger weapons, but we did just fine with our two...deb thingies.
The target was asked multiple times to drop his cargo, which consisted of Two Bounty Hunters, Two Civilians and a VIP. Only Mr. Simmons knows what would happen to those chaps if he made it back to that one planet, Omicron Gamma.
I retrieved the bounty hunters and the civilians, but the VIP was still in the Corsair's hands. We pursued the guy to Cardiff where he was slightly engaged by the Armed Forces patrols in the location. Then he fled back the way he came. We followed suite. After refusing to drop the VIP he shot at me, of all people, me...I was forced to open up with my one weapon....Mr. Raynes did the same thing, until finally we where able to get him to stop shooting.
The VIP was secured a few minutes after, Then he proceeded to flee while still being held. However, I disrupted the Tradelane to make sure he couldn't escape, Mr. Raynes fired a cruise disruptor. Then proceeded to ask the target to pay a fine. Which he refused.
He refused to pay the fine, and we took him down. My guncam was slightly damaged, so I couldn't get a recording of the process. However we where doing some damage to him with just one weapon.

Hello chaps. Today I launched and was greeted by a jolly group of BPA pilots. It is great to see so many of you in the air!
Anyway, on to my report.
I Constable Matthew and Junior Constable Dean heard of Kusarian disturbances in Leeds, so we headed out to protect the various traders and civilians. As we arrived an armored transport was talking about putting down packages. We were all very curious, until a Kusarian Destroyer arrived. I was in my newly equipped SRD ship while Matthew was in his Hussar and Dean had called a friend from the BAF who was in a Paladin. Eventually, thanks to the help of the BAF patrols near Planet Leeds, the ship was destroyed.
Another successful day for the BPA, well done chaps!

Morning everyone,
What did I wake up to today? THIS! Bah, I undock from Leeds and moments later I find some bloody Corsairs chasing an ALG Mover right by Derby itself! I was going to let the Derby do all the work then escort the trader out of orbit, but those suicidal maniacs attacked me right by Derby! I knew something wasn't quite ticking for them when I got torpedo alerts against my Hussar.. At any rate, the Derby swiftly dispatched two of them but the other two were a bit harder to fight.
After having a small but intense battle between them near Derby, the other two were damaged severely, but one of them started using dirty tactics and rammed me just as I put a mine down! Now it was either the force of the ram or a lucky shot onto the shields just as I laid it, but it blew up right when I had no shield! Typical. The Derby sent a wing after them but they retreated after I blew up, then the Derby sent a rescue ship in before I plummeted into Leeds.

INCIDENT 1:
Ships: 2x B-294-L "Hussar" Light Fighter Pilot in Charge: Senior Constable Alistair Price Wingman 1: Junior Constable Adam Savins allied assistance:BAF - Commander James Hobart, BAF - Lt. Commander Jacob Carter
I was sipping a nice cup of tea when dispatch informed us of a battle ensuing at Stokes mining station, then I heard a BAF pilot send me a distress signal requesting backup. So me and Junior Constable Savins proceeded to the battle site, since it was Savins first time in combat I had to look out for him. I have to say he did pretty well, when we reached the battle site we gave supplies to the BAF allies and then we moved in to engage. The battle went on for quite a while
Midway through the battle I managed to down one AFA fighter, a win for me.
After a while of fighting one of the BAF retreated, then after pointless minutes of fighting the order was called to retreat, Me and Junior Constable Savins made it back to Planet Leeds in one piece. I was suprised that Savins made it out alive, not bad for the first time.
Also this is to confirm that JC Savins did complete one of his requirements of "shadowing" an official Constable.
Signed, Senior Constable Price

Subject: Corsair gunboat in New London
My second patrol as a Junior Constable held another surprise and this time it was a Corsair Gunboat. Orbiting Planet New London and drinking tea with my fellow officers, we responded to a distress signal from Senior Constable Price. We found the Corsair gunboat and saw ourselves under fire from the mad pirate. During the fight, Warden Duncan Mguire, Lieutenant Austin Goodmen and Senior Constable Price's ships were shot down however, they were tractored in.
The corsair gunboat was finally destroyed after concentrated fire.
Constables in the fight:
Senior Constable Alistair Price
Warden Duncan Mguire
Constable Jensen Ames
Constable Matthew Raynes
Constable Samuel Vimes
Armed Forces:
Lieutenant Austin Goodmen
On a final note, I would like to record one of my requirements for the AFO policy. During the skirmish with the KNF a day ago, I did indeed begin the mission with Senior Constable Price and shadowed him until the engagement. I will continue to strive to recieve and pass the AFO policy.
