From: Special Sergeant Jacky Montgomery, CDI. To: COCS Database Topic: FEB 26 835 Report, Liberty Police business Clearance: SENSITIVE
Good evening.
First off, I am required to thank Kevin for finally fixing the communications. Second I want to congratulate everyone on our PEEL review scores. Nice work, most of you. Okay, some of you.
Regardless. This evening I had a brief run in with Doctor Hans von Goeben in New London, where business turned to idle chatter of largely inconsequential note. However, as we discussed the troubling conditions in Croyton, I received an odd reading on my PLOPS. A Liberty Police ship had jumped into Bretonia, then back out. Before I could go very far and investigate, I received a distress call from the ship and I hurried to the scene with Goeben in tow in case medical aid was required. Upon homing in on the beacon in Magellan, I found two Liberty Police ships at the shipping platform. Ones which admitted there was no emergency in the slightest. Apparently they'd lured me here under false pretenses and had taken bets upon whether or not CDI would dispatch someone to investigate the distress call.
The men introduced themselves; Detective Owen Porter and Captain Evan Stone. Despite their dubious methods of contacting the CDI, they did have some official business to discuss. Liberty Police has recently finished construction of the Lewisville Penitentiary located in sector C7 of the California system. They hope that in the future that the CDI would be interested in transferring some of the prisoners we take in to their facility. Many details need to be hammered out, of course, but I promised them I'd take their offer to my higher-ups.
It is worth noting that the two LP officers did chase an Outcast ship off and cause critical damage to it on the way back to Bretonia. No doubt saving the CDI a hefty repair bill and preserving my mental stability for a few more hours.
While I dislike their unorthodox methods for contacting me, their work is no doubt important. I advise reviewing the communication logs below and reaching out to Liberty Police for a follow up.

[26.02.2025 23:29:08] [MFE]-Hans.von.Goeben: Damn trigger happy-
[26.02.2025 23:30:26] LP-Owen.Porter: [Sending distress signal]
[26.02.2025 23:30:37] [MFE]-Hans.von.Goeben: *looks at watch* Hm, guess I take a hotel room at London...already damn late to fly further.
[26.02.2025 23:31:01] CDI)Sgt-J.Montgomery: Ah hell.... you've reached the CDI, what's your emergency?
[26.02.2025 23:31:23] CDI)Sgt-J.Montgomery: Damnit, one's sending a distress call now...
[26.02.2025 23:31:33] CDI)Sgt-J.Montgomery: But he won't say what's happened.
[26.02.2025 23:31:42] LP-Owen.Porter: [Signal strength at 19%, you hear static noises]
[26.02.2025 23:31:56] [MFE]-Hans.von.Goeben: Sounds sketchy.
[26.02.2025 23:33:00] CDI)Sgt-J.Montgomery: Bollocks... alright then, Dispatch, this is Montgomery, investigating distress call.
[26.02.2025 23:33:33] CDI)Sgt-J.Montgomery: I lost the signal..
[26.02.2025 23:34:00] [MFE]-Hans.von.Goeben: Was it still in range? Or did it...cease?
[26.02.2025 23:34:36] [MFE]-Hans.von.Goeben: Good day.
[26.02.2025 23:34:37] LP-Owen.Porter: Oh, see Stone I told you it'd work!
[26.02.2025 23:34:46] CDI)Sgt-J.Montgomery: Oi, what's the emergency?
[26.02.2025 23:34:54] LP-Evan.Stone: Damn. I guess I owe you a drink next time we get the chance.
[26.02.2025 23:35:06] CDI)Sgt-J.Montgomery: ... excuse me?
[26.02.2025 23:35:12] LP-Owen.Porter: I apologize, there is no emergency.
[26.02.2025 23:35:13] [MFE]-Hans.von.Goeben: *squints eyes* ...
[26.02.2025 23:35:22] LP-Owen.Porter: Just had a tinker toy from the ol' Gallic war.
[26.02.2025 23:35:34] LP-Owen.Porter: That the Bretonians and Liberty used to use for emergency calls.
[26.02.2025 23:35:42] LP-Owen.Porter: Thing is borked beyond belief, surprised it worked.
[26.02.2025 23:35:45] CDI)Sgt-J.Montgomery: *raises an eyebrow* You're using the emergency band for... bets?
[26.02.2025 23:35:50] LP-Evan.Stone: Who would have throught it would work after all.
[26.02.2025 23:35:52] LP-Owen.Porter: No, no, no.
[26.02.2025 23:36:17] [MFE]-Hans.von.Goeben: *Crosses arms and puffs cigar angrily* ...a prank then?
[26.02.2025 23:36:24] LP-Owen.Porter: Getting a hold of the Bretonian police is not easy, this was more of a call.
[26.02.2025 23:36:30] CDI)Sgt-J.Montgomery: *slurping*
[26.02.2025 23:36:41] CDI)Sgt-J.Montgomery: Well. You've got my ear, obviously... mister...?
[26.02.2025 23:36:56] LP-Owen.Porter: Let me introduce myself, I am Detective Porter of the LPI. This here is our captain Evan Stone.
[26.02.2025 23:37:02] LP-Owen.Porter: Superior officer in charge.
[26.02.2025 23:37:20] LP-Evan.Stone: And you are?
[26.02.2025 23:37:43] CDI)Sgt-J.Montgomery: Mister Porter. Captain. Special Sergeant Jacky Montgomery.
[26.02.2025 23:37:51] CDI)Sgt-J.Montgomery: Civil Defense Initiative.
[26.02.2025 23:38:11] LP-Owen.Porter: Pleasure to meet you Bretonian.
[26.02.2025 23:38:24] [MFE]-Hans.von.Goeben: *nods* Hans von Goeben, MedForce. I simply tagged along, in case someone needed medicla attention...
[26.02.2025 23:38:31] CDI)Sgt-J.Montgomery: *slurping* I wish it was under more clear cut circumstances.
[26.02.2025 23:38:32] LP-Evan.Stone: Nice to meet you, Sergeant Montgomery. Ah, the Civil Defense Initiative, wasn't there a bullitin put out about something...
[26.02.2025 23:38:34] LP-Evan.Stone: Porter?
[26.02.2025 23:39:07] LP-Owen.Porter: Yeah, they got green lighted.
[26.02.2025 23:39:22] LP-Owen.Porter: Well Captain, I did my part you can take over the biz.
[26.02.2025 23:39:23] CDI)Sgt-J.Montgomery: I can assure you that our review went over swimmingly.
[26.02.2025 23:39:50] CDI)Sgt-J.Montgomery: I am sure I can forward you the PEEL assesment review... if that's what this is about.
[26.02.2025 23:40:05] LP-Owen.Porter: No, no , no need!
[26.02.2025 23:40:16] LP-Evan.Stone: Right right. About some prison transfers and stuff if I recall. Ah. No need for that, I'm not questioning the official request.
[26.02.2025 23:40:39] CDI)Sgt-J.Montgomery: The transfers that Chief Inspector Timson had been working towards?
[26.02.2025 23:41:06] LSFC-Brunswick: Ward: Oh, hello everyone.
[26.02.2025 23:41:22] LP-Evan.Stone: Recently the Liberty Police has constructed a new facility in California and it would work out perfectly with your...
[26.02.2025 23:41:27] LP-Evan.Stone: Prison transfers.
[26.02.2025 23:41:44] CDI)Sgt-J.Montgomery: Hrmm, I will have to forward the information to my superiors. What can you tell me about the facility?
[26.02.2025 23:42:22] LP-Evan.Stone: Currently the station is located just south of San Diego Border station. It has all the necessary facilities for a prison.
[26.02.2025 23:42:44] LP-Evan.Stone: Currently undergoing maintence to grow of course.
[26.02.2025 23:43:09] CDI)Sgt-J.Montgomery: While we are all here, perhaps it'd be prudent to inspect the facility in person?
[26.02.2025 23:43:27] LP-Evan.Stone: If you wish, I'd be happy to lead you there.
[26.02.2025 23:43:42] CDI)Sgt-J.Montgomery: I can at the very least say I came out all this way with a purpose I suppose...
[26.02.2025 23:43:49] LP-Owen.Porter: After you Sarg.
[26.02.2025 23:43:49] CDI)Sgt-J.Montgomery: Plus I am sure the boss would like to see this.
[26.02.2025 23:43:55] [MFE]-Hans.von.Goeben: *waves* Take care then, folks.
[26.02.2025 23:43:59] CDI)Sgt-J.Montgomery: Farewell, Doctor.
[26.02.2025 23:44:00] [MFE]-Hans.von.Goeben: Gotta return to London.
[26.02.2025 23:44:06] [MFE]-Hans.von.Goeben: Safe skies!
[26.02.2025 23:44:51] LP-Evan.Stone: Alright we can take a right here, its not too far.
[26.02.2025 23:45:16] LP-Owen.Porter: Remember Captain, the civilian ships are a little slower than ours.
[26.02.2025 23:45:18] CDI)Sgt-J.Montgomery: Ah yes, I think I see it...
[26.02.2025 23:45:26] CDI)Sgt-J.Montgomery: And... listen okay, these engines are second hand...
[26.02.2025 23:45:37] LP-Owen.Porter: No judging here sir.
[26.02.2025 23:45:37] LP-Evan.Stone: Right, but, I won't be too far ahead. Its not much farther.
[26.02.2025 23:46:02] CDI)Sgt-J.Montgomery: You've been busy it seems.
[26.02.2025 23:46:03] LP-Owen.Porter: Oh these pesky Rogues.
[26.02.2025 23:46:06] LP-Owen.Porter: I'll deal with em!
[26.02.2025 23:46:23] LP-Evan.Stone: Right, well. Here we are.
[26.02.2025 23:46:43] CDI)Sgt-J.Montgomery: The location on the border would definitely make the journey easier to deal with.
[26.02.2025 23:46:45] LP-Evan.Stone: At the moment, only Liberty Authorities can dock, but that can be remidied should the CDI be interested.
[26.02.2025 23:47:22] LP-Evan.Stone: Right, the only problem would be the return trip with the Bretonian refugees the report spoke of.
[26.02.2025 23:47:28] CDI)Sgt-J.Montgomery: I of course can't guarantee anything of the sort personally... I need to put this on the desk of the Chief Inspector.
[26.02.2025 23:47:35] CDI)Sgt-J.Montgomery: Ultimately it's her call, but I doubt she will be opposed.
[26.02.2025 23:47:41] LP-Evan.Stone: Of course. I understand.
[26.02.2025 23:48:17] CDI)Sgt-J.Montgomery: I am afraid my economic understanding of Liberty is lacking in some areas, but I am sure our eggheads back in finances can
[26.02.2025 23:48:24] CDI)Sgt-J.Montgomery: Figure out some way to make the numbers work.
[26.02.2025 23:48:47] LP-Evan.Stone: Yeah. That isn't really my department either. I'll let others do all that numbers work.
[26.02.2025 23:49:03] CDI)Sgt-J.Montgomery: Ultimately this seems promising... if not in far better condition than the Park...
[26.02.2025 23:49:12] CDI)Sgt-J.Montgomery: I keep forgetting you actually make money.
[26.02.2025 23:49:40] LP-Evan.Stone: Also, I'm sure if you did not want to travel deep into Liberty on the return trip we could work something out...
[26.02.2025 23:49:48] LP-Evan.Stone: With a procured Liner.
[26.02.2025 23:49:58] CDI)Sgt-J.Montgomery: Hmmm.
[26.02.2025 23:50:35] LP-Evan.Stone: I don't think the displaced Bretonians would want to wait to be picked up on a prison station afterall.
[26.02.2025 23:50:51] CDI)Sgt-J.Montgomery: Yes, hardly... bad optics on that.
[26.02.2025 23:51:25] CDI)Sgt-J.Montgomery: I will contact the Chief Inspector tonight. See what she says and what the plan turns out being.
[26.02.2025 23:51:44] CDI)Sgt-J.Montgomery: She may have some suggestions in regards to the refugee situation as well...
[26.02.2025 23:51:47] CDI)Sgt-J.Montgomery: *slurping*
[26.02.2025 23:52:05] LP-Evan.Stone: Right, well. We can head back to Magellan. Not much else to see. When you do get answers on that don't hesitate to...
[26.02.2025 23:52:07] LP-Evan.Stone: Reach out.
[26.02.2025 23:52:15] CDI)Sgt-J.Montgomery: Of course...
[26.02.2025 23:52:17] LP-Evan.Stone: I'm sure the Chief Warden would be happy to hear about it.
[26.02.2025 23:52:43] CDI)Sgt-J.Montgomery: I am sure the Chief and my Chief Inspector will get along swimmingly...
[26.02.2025 23:52:51] CDI)Sgt-J.Montgomery: Assuming you don't get them to meet under false pretenses...
[26.02.2025 23:53:22] LP-Owen.Porter: After you sarg.
[26.02.2025 23:53:34] CDI)Sgt-J.Montgomery: Thank you kindly.
[26.02.2025 23:54:08] LP-Evan.Stone: Don't think I missed anything, right Porter?
[26.02.2025 23:54:14] LP-Owen.Porter: Don't think so.
[26.02.2025 23:54:33] LP-Evan.Stone: Oh, how is Bretonia these days, I heard theres a lot of crazy stuff with Dublin.
[26.02.2025 23:54:37] LP-Evan.Stone: At least according to the News.
[26.02.2025 23:54:43] CDI)Sgt-J.Montgomery: Oh don't get me started about that mess...
[26.02.2025 23:54:57] CDI)Sgt-J.Montgomery: BAF is bending over backwards to try to salvage that.
[26.02.2025 23:55:09] Christopher.Allen: On the radar contact
[26.02.2025 23:55:14] CDI)Sgt-J.Montgomery: BPA barely has any pilots left and....
[26.02.2025 23:55:17] CDI)Sgt-J.Montgomery: Oh great.
[26.02.2025 23:55:27] LP-Evan.Stone: Huh? Oh great.
[26.02.2025 23:55:36] LP-Owen.Porter: Seems like we have company.
[26.02.2025 23:55:42] CDI)Sgt-J.Montgomery: He's leaving...maybe...?
[26.02.2025 23:55:46] LP-Evan.Stone: Never a dull moment, I guess.
[26.02.2025 23:55:54] LP-Evan.Stone: I'm sure they never go far.
[26.02.2025 23:56:34] Christopher.Allen: Open fire on the target when ready
[26.02.2025 23:56:34] CDI)Sgt-J.Montgomery: Outcast ship, advise you vacate this area immediately.
[26.02.2025 23:56:42] LP-Owen.Porter: Sure.
[26.02.2025 23:56:43] CDI)Sgt-J.Montgomery: I... excuse me...?
[26.02.2025 23:56:45] LP-Evan.Stone: I doubt they will just....yeah that.
[26.02.2025 23:56:57] LP-Evan.Stone: Pretty trigger happy these Outcasts.
[26.02.2025 23:57:07] LP-Evan.Stone: At least the independent world ones.
[26.02.2025 23:57:08] CDI)Sgt-J.Montgomery: Ah Jesus Christ, I guess so.
[26.02.2025 23:58:04] CDI)Sgt-J.Montgomery: Mister Allen, this is not exactly a situation that I can see ending in your favor.
[26.02.2025 23:58:08] CDI)Sgt-J.Montgomery: Perhaps you best surrender.
[26.02.2025 23:58:28] LP-Evan.Stone: Pfft. They are too proud for that. They'd sooner go down swinging.
[26.02.2025 23:58:40] CDI)Sgt-J.Montgomery: How very Corsair of him.
[26.02.2025 23:59:10] CDI)Sgt-J.Montgomery: Alright, well, uh... Porter, if you need help, just scream really loud.
[27.02.2025 00:00:20] CDI)Sgt-J.Montgomery: So... you guys lure me out here with a fake distress call, drop a business deal in the CDI's lap, then give a girl a dance and
[27.02.2025 00:00:22] CDI)Sgt-J.Montgomery: a show?
[27.02.2025 00:00:30] LP-Evan.Stone: We aim to please.
[27.02.2025 00:00:41] CDI)Sgt-J.Montgomery: I'll give you this, you're bold.
[27.02.2025 00:01:04] LP-Evan.Stone: Think of it as a show of Liberty's hospitality.
[27.02.2025 00:01:24] LP-Evan.Stone: Besides, sometimes bold is the best way.
[27.02.2025 00:01:37] CDI)Sgt-J.Montgomery: Well it's kept me from getting shot in the ass on the way back home so that's something.
[27.02.2025 00:02:15] Christopher.Allen was shot out of the skies by LP-Owen.Porter(100%)
[27.02.2025 00:02:18] CDI)Sgt-J.Montgomery: Damn.
[27.02.2025 00:02:21] LP-Evan.Stone: Nice work, Detective.
[27.02.2025 00:02:26] LP-Owen.Porter: I didn't pick the fight.
[27.02.2025 00:02:36] CDI)Sgt-J.Montgomery: Guy had a chance to leave...
[27.02.2025 00:02:40] CDI)Sgt-J.Montgomery: Shame he didn't wise up.
[27.02.2025 00:02:48] LP-Evan.Stone: Like I said, too proud to give up.
[27.02.2025 00:03:00] LP-Owen.Porter: They always have a chance to turn in.
[27.02.2025 00:03:09] CDI)Sgt-J.Montgomery: Well. I best get back and report this to Dispatch.
[27.02.2025 00:03:17] CDI)Sgt-J.Montgomery: Cheers.
[27.02.2025 00:03:19] LP-Owen.Porter: Seems like Magellan isn't that safe.
[27.02.2025 00:03:22] LP-Evan.Stone: Its alright he can join his other Outcasts in a cell.
[27.02.2025 00:03:23] LP-Owen.Porter: Good luck.
[27.02.2025 00:03:33] LP-Evan.Stone: Stay safe.
[27.02.2025 00:03:33] CDI)Sgt-J.Montgomery: You too, lads.
[27.02.2025 00:03:47] CDI)Sgt-J.Montgomery: Ah balls, figures they'd disrupt it right at the last second.
