From: Special Constable Matthias Novak, CDI. To: COCS Database Topic: Dec. 30 Liberty Prisoner Transfer Clearance: Sensitive
So begins my report of my first day flying for CDI, and the successful transport of prisoners to Liberty Space on 12/30, 834 AS. After quickly reviewing the selected pamphlets and guidelines for new constables in the bar on Scarborough, I made my way down to the shipyard, where my Starflier was being serviced. Damn mechanic had half the ship taken apart, just trying to install some police lights. Had half a mind to show him the authority of the crown right then and there, but decided a rookie constable on his first outing should be more cool headed. I was just getting my ship out from that chop shop when I was contacted by Sargeants Montgomery and Pickering, who were nice enough to introduce me to the force and give me the rendezvous point. On my way from Newcastle to New London, I picked up a signal from a strange ship, ID’ed as “Spondulica”. Got an odd reading from the cargo hold, but had to join the convoy before I could investigate further.
Joined the convoy with HPMS Tayloe in Manchester, but the Tayloe had some Jump Computer issues. In the meantime, we looked around, and again we saw Spondulica. Sgt. Montgomery had pulled them over for a portside signal light. We learned the name of the Skipper, Jeff Phate, who had apparently never been asked his name. Montgomery asked me to scan his hold, and lo and behold: I was looking at a hold full of Slog! However, When Sgt. Pickering scanned, all he read was Cough Syrup. I ought to string up that mechanic in Scarborough, must’ve crossed my sensor wires when installing the lights. Spondulica was nice enough to donate to the orphan funds before continuing on. Around this time, the Tayloe had sorted out its computer issues, and we were on our way.
Departing from Bretonia, we met up with the LNS Akhetaten, commanded by captain Brown. While we were converging, we had a persistent guest: a Lane Hacker with the call sign “Solicitor-2”. He harassed and followed us through all of liberty, and if these reports are correct was able to shoot down a couple of Liberty fighters. We were told by the Akhetaten to remain with the convoy, and did not intercede. Our forces remained untouched, and we were able to make it to Houston without further incident.
After a slight delay at the Sugarland, where the very rude warden tried to hold me for questioning before realizing I was with CDI, I joined back with the Tayloe and we made our way back to Bretonia space. Despite a brief incident of a temporary loss in my ability to determine my location in space, we made it back to New London just fine. Finally, according to my records, LSF was able to apprehend Solicitor-2, so hopefully we will not have that menace in the future.
So ends my official report. However, on a personal note, I want to take a second and thank the CDI for being so welcoming today. Sargeants Montgomery and Pickering made me feel right at home, and made my first patrol a breeze. It’s a lot different in space when you are on this side of the law– take it from me, who was born on Trafalgar– but I think I could get used to it. Here’s hoping for a long career, and a safer Bretonia.
