Today, what a day.
Shift started with a trader advising me of a possible pirate in... Cambridge. Went to investigate, found a bleeding capital ship! The "Puff_the_Magic_Dragon". After asking his business, he claimed to be an undercover Bretonian agent who was now breaking cover. I was, unsurprisingly, not convinced. But after what happened later. I'll say he's on our side.
Things started to go downhill from there. With Mr.Serg Gonta finding a deuterium smuggler, named "Clandestine", and I finding a light arms smuggler, "Nicko", both bound for Kusari space.
Sadly they managed to evade us, and made their escape.
Now for the real kicker. I am under the impression from the current diplomatic rules, that we are currently hostile to the colonial remnant.
With this in mind, I didn't expect too much hassle when I asked a "=CR=Trinity" to leave Bretonian space.
Well, I doubt I could 'ave made worse prediction!
Seems this "Trinity" decided that I was being unfair and picking on her specifically. Which led to her deciding that she'd call in her "brothers". All 5 of them!
I was out-gunned, out-numbered and in sore need for help. Luckily, Mr.Whitacre had started his shift and he hastened to my aid. Also, the "Puff_the_Magic_Dragon" arrived. I'll be honest, I've never been so happy to see a corsair cap. So different when they're there to help!
The 6 of them, and the 3 of us stayed basically stationary for a long while, but Mr.Whitacre decided to head back to the nearest base, in order to report the problem and see if any aid would be appearing soon.
The CR decided to head over to the Cambridge system, for reasons unknown to me. And I decided to follow, to make sure nothing bad happened, and to make sure traders managed to keep out their way.
They decided I was fair game for insults (//1) and other such, and were constantly disrupting trade lanes in order to hamper my efforts.
Crimes:
Intentional ramming of BPA officer's ship (2 counts)
Carrying synthetic marijuana (At least one count, didn't scan others)
Intentional disruption of trade lanes (8 counts)
Threatening and Insulting a police officer (All under 1 count)
Ignoring a direct orders from an officer (All under 1 count)
If I may be so bold, but I suggest a black listing
//1 I'm not too sure of how to go about reporting crude language however. Screenies were taken. Also, is there a fast way to take them? Instead of print screen + paint?

Very short day. Things went downhill rapidly on what could potentially be my final patrol. (//1)
First, I was in New London and found an artifact smuggler named shawn. Unfortunately, due to a lack of rest I couldn't remember the exact fine, and by the time I located my field manual, he was in Dublin. My mistake.
Second, someone who appeared at first glance to be from the IMG, Rooney_Moonswagger, was sitting above Leeds in an Albatross Battlecruiser. I scanned him and found a Corsair ID. Shortly afterward, before I had a chance to say anything, he began firing upon me without warning! I scrambled for Leeds and warned all civillians to evacuate the system. My shields are shot, they'll need some serious repairs before I risk flying again in this thing, but I made it out without a scratch. That last part was a nice change, and I suspect that Moonswagger is rather new to capital ships.
(//1: As it turns out, I may be moving across the country soon. That, and to be honest, I'm having a hard time staying interested in my BPA character; you all are great people, but you're not often around when I am and I get bored with a limited patrol area. Been having so much more fun with my Zoner, simply cruising around wherever I want.)

Gentlemen,
although these times may seem dire and hard to you - and you certainly aren't the only ones feeling that way - I'd like to commend on your excellent work out there, day after day. I'll try to meet you brave constables out there more often, but it seems my sleep rhythm is still accustomed to good ol' Cambridge... maybe I'll make it at least once nevertheless.
Concerning the Remnant. I will await further orders from Sir Lauderdale in this case, but I guess these actions will just worsen the relations... the Union of Gold (which is currently in diplomatic negotiations with Bretonia, as you may know) has already declared war on the Colonials, and if they continue to behave that way in our beautiful space, I'd not be surprised if Bretonia would take similar steps.
About the vessel Rooney_Moonswagger. I'd suggest putting a bounty on that individual via the NSY Wanted Board, Mr Sullivan. Four million credits should be a fitting reward for a Talarca Cruiser. Please forward the necessary information to the frequencies of the board, I will support you with the necessary finances.
Again, splendid work out there, gentlemen, and keep your chin up!

Greetings sirs. Mite of bad news today.
Was doing my patrols today. Spotted a group of GH pirates in Manchester, and set route to engage. Sadly an ion storm hit and I was unable to find them afterwords.
Now for the toasters. Was in Cambridge when I heard one of those mighty wierd Harvester units (-17 I believe) declare it was starting to harvest.
Oh, a ship named "Timebandit" was asking about Nomad licensing, but I found the harvester before I could fully explain.
Anyway, I started to follow the harvester, when it decided to harvest me!
A lot of dodging later I had to disengage, as I was running low on bots and had used all my shield rechargers. The harvester then declared that the Machine was now at war with Bretonia.
Sorry chaps, not my fault I started a war...

Tally-ho,
Back to off-world patrols this week, sir and excited to be back off the streets of Old Blighty. A tad rusty so I will be hoping to attend the training session next week. My ship is nicely polished and ready for the off.
Awful news about Sullivan. Will miss the chap. Convey my regards.

Subject: KNF!
Good day, sirs,
Or, rather, a bad day today. Today, upon launching from Planet Cambridge, I came upon an [OPG]Gentle flying under the flag of the Hogosha. I kindly asked him to leave, and he did, stating he had more important business, and that if we interfered "My life would be forfeit." His affairs were outside our space, so I didn't have to make him realize how foolish that statement really was.
After this, I headed to Leeds, only to find that the KNF were in Edinburgh! I rushed over to Edinburgh, and began sweeping the system. I found a Kishiro ship hauling Detretium back to Kusari through Tau-31. I hailed him, and asked him to halt for inspection. He complied, followed by two KNF pilots. At this point, they bean moving again, stating that they would leave peacefully with the Detretium. I told them it would not happen, but they left my sensors into Tau-31 sooner than I could react.
Recordings of my conversation with them can be found here: KNF 1 KNF 2
[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.

Men,
These so called "machines" are not to be tolerated. If you see them in the Queen's space, make sure that you demand that they leave. Do all that you can in your power to drive them away, but as Constable Vederman correctly acted, don't get killed!
In addition, if anyone needs equipment, post in the Rolecall thread. I'll be doing some shopping, and will do my best to pick up some stuffs.

Captain Davies, I can assure you that the Cambridge system is still in possession of the Queen. These "Illuminati" do not, and will not own Cambridge.
What was the name of this trader, for curiosities sake?

thank you for the reply and now i know who Cambridge rightfully belongs to.
i believe the name was Rick.Trader, 3rd party trader to the illuminati, here is my blackbox images it captured:
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>
