I am sad to hear of our loses, let's hope our Navy boys can help more later. However, I have been more successful, as yesterday I was able to scare off two Corsairs with Isaac Brock.
Sir Lauderdale, if they are indeed attacking with an Osiris I believe we will need all the help we can get. The Mollies, when they aren't busy, and the commisioning of more bombers. Our men in the Navy are to busy in Kusari, that leaves it for the most part to us.
Long live the Queen!

Hello mates,
First of all I would like to thank you for the promotion and to congratulate my mates on their promotion.
As for the event Captain Cooper addressed, my logs indicate the Lorenzomus as an order taged and IDed vessal, why did it attack bretonia?
This doesn't make sense... Did it captian gone mad? Or did the order decided on piracy as their way?
Concerned,
Brian

Sergeant McNab,
the Lorenzomus we met today was a Corsair IDed Osiris, still flying with an Order IFF.
I guess this is another of the Order's weapon transfers to the Corsairs. Our secret service information state that the Order is allied with the Corsairs nowadays and lending them weapons quite often.
What worried me more is the fact that the Corsairs are sending parts of their fleet that are this big to our space.
Cooper out

Hip, hip, hooray!
Congradulations on another year, Samuel! I owe you a scone from Christy's as soon as I get back from the Hawaii!
On more formal topics, I've emailed NYS about the perpetrators, and I believe that the Wanted List has been promptly updated. In addition, I was informed - to my utter dismay - that Humphrey Burlington was still at large!
But all these stresses of work make BPA Constables dull Constables!
Go and celebrate men! Stay frosty out there, and stay sharp!

Fellow officers,
On my patrol today with Cpt. Cooper and Sgt. Roxburg we had a strange encounter with an Outcast named Carlos Traversi. I had received a SOS signal sourced from Tau-31, the Outcast was asking for asylum and medical treatment in Leeds.
We were expecting to get some useful information about the KNF movements from interrogating him and decided to meet him at the Tau gate in Leeds. The outcast arrived in a Falcata bomber in a desolate state and was minorly wounded. We granted him medical treatment and repairs on Planet Leeds in exchange for intelligence on the KNF.
It turned out that he was ambushed by two destroyer patrols while protecting a cardamine shipment to New Tokyo. From the information he has given us, it seems that the tensions between Kusari and Liberty are rising. He reported big fleet movements in Shikoku while Kyushu would be relatively vulnerable. He agreed to make a report to the QCRF about this matter as well.
After this conversation, he decided to go back to Kusari to revenge his brethren and we escorted him out to Tau-31.
On another note, we helped our new SRD recruit Timothy Cooper to get his Challenger set up. However, he will need equipment from the armoury to be fully fit for service.
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>

Tally-ho chaps,
I began at Birmingham, expecting a customary quiet afternoon greeting new arrivals and checking cargo manifests. Well, I nearly choked on my tea as I undocked! I observed a cheeky blighter attempting to harass traders within 2k of the station! Needless to say, I turned my guns on the chap, allowing the trader to make off safely. The fellow engaged me, but I wore his shields down and had nearly made a jolly big hole in the hull of his Barghest bomber when he decided that discretion was the better part of valour and headed to the Magellan system.His ship's id is "Black Sun - Alex Nelson", though I can only imagine the surname is some kind of dashed sick joke.
Later I joined Constable Lawrence in New London. We tailed a corsair fighter Eagle_one and a ship which has been on previous reports, the Lorenzomus, an Osiris class cruiser. These ships violated Bretonia space, and in comms declared they were on their way to the Gaian zone in Edinburgh to take down a gaian who owed them money. (At this point I nearly had a fatal bout of head-scratching as the intelligence reports in my study indicated that the Corsairs and Gaians were allies of sorts.) We later intercepted these ships in Edinburgh once reinforcements in the form of a battleship (Cpt. Frog) had made a rendezvous with us. The nasty oiks chose to engage our two light fighters, allowing the Battleship to down the cruiser and turn his guns on the fighter. Constable Lawrence was forced to eject, I believe he may been struck by debris from the cruiser. I pursued Eagle_one to Islay base, but the defense flak was heavy enough to delay me while he docked. I recovered Lawrence's pod and returned him to New London. Lawrence was unhurt and the chap's nerves of steel and determination in doing his duty for the Queen are exemplary.
Towards the end of my patrol, a well-known individual Sir Charles Wellington, alerted me to the presence of two more corsairs in New London. He took care of one, and together we managed to clip the wings of a certain Capt. Jack Sparrow. There were several policemen in his hold who required medical attention. It seems this individual was on a rampage and could have been the cause of many deaths were it not for the vigilance of Mr. Wellington.I returned the recovered pilots to the medical facility in New London and ended my patrol.
I therefore submit the following:
a request that Sir Charles be acknowledged by NSY for assisting me in my duties
a formal charge of attacking a BPA officer against Black Sun-Alex Nelson
a record of my continued satisfaction with the performance of the Hussar Class Light Fighter - I have never been so proud of Bretonian engineering

Mr Brown,
Great show out there today!
About the requests at the end of your message: what exactly do you mean with Sir Wellington to be acknowledged by New Scotland Yard?
We do know about this citizen to be a succesful entrepreneuer for BMM and a smart businessman. He has helped the BPA on various occasions, and NSY is not neglecting this.
Should this be an indirect application for him to join the BPA though - this matter has been discussed before between Sir Wellington and Sir Lauderdale, our Superintendent. Back then, it was decided not to meddle with the Bretonian corporations that much. A change of course in this case would need to be discussed with Sir Lauderdale, I think.
About that "Black Sun"-vessel: we need the exact callsign of the ship as well as the ship class and a description of it's deeds. Then, and only then, can we do such a thing as to put a bounty on the individual or post his name on the Blacklist.

Captain,
Item 1: Sir Charles Wellington
I believe a formal letter of thanks from an officer of the BPA expressing appreciation for assisting me in my patrol would be sufficient. I am keenly aware of the chain of command, and would never initiate correspondence with a civilian on my own initiative.
Item 2: charges to be brought
Vessel call-sign: BlackSun~Alex.Nelson
Barghest class Pirate Bomber - pirate i.d.
offences - piracy (Manchester system); attacking a BPA officer

Sirs,
The wanted list has been updated as requested. In the future, however, please post directly in the wanted list to expedite the addition of new criminals that we should be on the lookout for.
Again, do not forget to post in the ship that the wanted individual was flying, their alignment, what they did, and their faction status. Keep up the good work!
