Constable Page reporting today's actions in Bretonia space.
At the start of my patrol, Constable McAllister and I found an unannounced Zoner Dreadnought - Wager - in the Cambridge system. After some discussion, we escorted the ship through Cambridge and Leeds to the Edinburgh system - briefly interrupted by some Gallic heavy patrols - where it planned to head to the Taus to fight against Gallic forces. Chatlog
Working in conjunction with the BAF, several pilots and I dealt with a couple of Molly Gunboats in Cambridge - Etain's.Woo and James.Phinney. The first took severe damage and docked on Lisburn while the second was destroyed by Chief Inspector Bailey's own gunboat.
While travelling between the above two battles, I was contacted on the long-range communication channels by the pilot of the Am-Sher, a trader who wished to travel to Planet Harris and back. He transferred the one-time fee and proceeded with his trade route. Am-Sher Chatlog Transfer to Anvil
The last incident of today was an encounter with SkyNet in Manchester. Nomad Remains were found in his cargo bay, but after discussing his options I was caught under fire. After taking some damage, the pilot fled and ran into Bailey aboard the Liongate. After taking significant damage, the vessel illegally docked upon Canterbury Station. SkyNet Resolution

Constable Page, reporting the events of last night's patrol.
While in Leeds, I found an independent trader - Trafus - carrying a small cargo of Gaian Wildlife. At first fleeing from some Gallic forces, I caught up with the pilot and explained the Bretonian Licencing laws. Although it seemed like a misunderstanding (the trader seemed to be compliant with a fine), an undetected cloaking device activated and the ship disappeared (//Player logged out). Trafus Chatlog
I chased a Corsair transport, designated Raccoon, from New London to Snowdon, but due to a targeting error, the Freeport treated me as a hostile. Not wanting to cause an incident, I maintained my distance and persuaded the Corsair to go about his business away from Bretonian citizens.
After hearing reports of another two Corsairs - Anso and Trueno Benitez - in Cambridge, I met up with a Mandalorian Mercenary and again convinced the vessels to leave. Corsair Chatlog
There wasn't very much that I was directly involved in apart from the above events, but I also made up numbers in the questioning and Inspector Dering's destruction of a Reaver GB and witnessed the destruction of two Corsairs in Cambridge by a member of Rorry's Renegades.

Constable Thomas Page, submitting my report on today's major events.
Near the start of my sweep of the Leeds system, I encountered Firebrick.Reaver in the planet's orbit. After a short battle, I was able to use the vessel's own ammunition-based weaponry against it with a well-timed CD. Reaver Scan Reaver Kill
In the New London system, I met up with Ensign Robinson and pursued a Molly Werewolf into the Eastern half of Dublin. Although we were backed up by Lt. Havering in his Challenger, another Molly fighter appeared with 2 Gunboats and a Transport. Faced with these odds, we decided it best to retreat from the system.
On our return to Planet New London, we questioned a "Whale"-class vessel, marked the Sony.Lancer, full of Basic Alloy and learned he planned to move it to Planet Harris. Despite trying to explain our embargo laws, the pilot did not understand or cooperate. Before we were able to impose a fine or use force, the vessel destroyed itself during an unsafe atmospheric re-entry of the planet. Since no crimes were actually committed, I have decided not to press any charges, but the ship is one to look out for...

In the Cambridge system, I found a transport designated Scales carrying Military Vehicles without a licence. Despite several attempts to get a response, the pilot tried to flee without saying a word, so I was forced to engage. The pilot returned fire and continued in their attempts to evade me - still without sending any communications to me - but was eventually destroyed. Scales Scan Scales Kill Scales 'Chatlog'
Firebrick.Reaver must have managed to escape from our previous engagement in a pod, as Sergeant Wallace, the new recruit Smith and I were forced to engage his new ship in Leeds, but we were defeated. A Mandalorian Mercenary continued the fight, but the result is still unknown to me.

I responded to a report of a disturbance between some BMM and IMG vessels in the Dublin system. Constable McAllister informed me that a molly, [M]-Danny.O'Harris had arrived, and that she was in engaged in combat with him. It had been menacing the BMM convoy. I joined the fight, and together we drove the molly away from the convoy. Unfortunately, in part due to a ship control problem, Constable McAllister's ship was destroyed. I continued fighting, and a molly pirate transport called Caledonia attacked. O'Harris then, under the cover of fire from the pirate transport, broke off and headed to attack the convoys once more, so I began chase, with the Caledonia chasing me. After more combat, O'Harris broke off again, and was pursued by a BAF fighter. The Caledonia attacked a Bowex vessel, Bowex)Anne.Bonny, but was eventually destroyed by myself, with the aid of the Bowex transport and a BAF Destroyer.

Page here, reporting the major events of today's patrol.
The majority of my day's patrol were very quiet, with nothing of note taking place in the first couple of hours.
I was contacted by the trader Am-Sher again, who was requesting permission to transport some Super Alloy from O-7 to Leeds using some newly acquired Jump technology. After checking that everyone in his convoy was of desirable reputation, I gave the go-ahead and assume the operation was a success.
Also in Leeds, the Bowex transport Anne.Bonny (previously encountered by Constable Ericson in the Dublin system) sent word of it's approach from the Taus with a cargo of 'reclaimed' Gallic Cryocubes. I then escorted the vessel to Cambridge Research Station, with only a Gallic patrol to interrupt our journey.
Chatlog - 1234
While escorting the Anne.Bonny, I picked up a blip on my radar - a Corsair designated Mercurio. Although it took an extensive sweep of the system to find it again, when I arrived it had suffered damage from a nearby BAF patrol. The pilot was headed back to his base and I was quite content to make sure it got out of the system, so I escorted it to the Omega-5 jumphole.
Corsair Departure - 12
TLAGSNET then picked up a [JCM]-affiliated vessel - BlueMidget - full of Codename weapons and an intel package I did not recognise. I tried to get within range of the ship in the Newcastle system to ascertain its business, but after it left the trade lanes I lost it in the vastness of the system.
Before ending my patrol, I received a long-range communication from a group of independent military-types who were being engaged by a Molly gunboat and fighter near New London. After arriving, we were able to destroy the gunboat, but the fighter managed to avoid our fire enough to return to Dublin. There, an ion storm made further pursuit impossible, so I set course for HQ and finished for the night.

Constable Page here, submitting my report for the patrol taking place earlier this week.
The first incident of this patrol was an engagement with a Royal Navy fighter in Leeds, piloted by a Laurent.Travere. Although I dealt some damage to the Gaul, the battle ended with my ship's destruction.
Outside Southampton, I met with a Kishiro vessel - Jame - who had misunderstood the trade situation between our nations. However, I was able to explain the situation and the trader was cooperative enough to pay a fine and drop his cargo at Southampton. Cargo Scan

I then encountered a Gallic Junker, Jaque.Silvion. Most of the dealings with him have already been discussed through other channels.
After leaving the Junker to his business for now, I received a message from a Bowex convoy under attack in Magellan. Sergeant Wallace, Constable McAllister and I made our way there, but the convoy had managed to severely damage the Outcast pirate, and it was short work to finish him off. The three of us escorted the convoy to the Dublin system.

I later escorted Monsieur Silvion out of Bretonia after his negotiations failed.

It's been an awfully long while since my last patrol, it was unbelievably enjoyable to fly my Hussar again.
I very politely escorted an IMG transport, perhaps a bit further than we're allowed (but darnit she was a looker).
Pic: Pic One
Then, a lot of trouble came to be. Three Reavers appeared at NL and harassed Page. I rushed to the scene along with 2 BMM fighters and later an HMS ship joined in as well. Unfortunately, we were decimated by them. Page almost bit the dust, but his ejection pod worked and I transported him safely to New London. I continued to fight the bandits but unfortunately a huge ion storm made it impossible for me to continue the fight. I got a guncam with there names (ignore the kilometric distances, the ion storms took out my distance-measuring lasers)

An interesting patrol it's been. Me and Constable Page escorted a trader to Planet Harris.
Afterwards, a Molly showed up but fleed shortly after encountering three armed and ready BPA officers.
Not long after us and a friendly (and good-looking) BIS officer escorted a stray Colonial away from Bretonia.
Whilst doing that, we ran into a Reaver, that made short work of my poor Hussar above Leeds. My pod landed on the planet fine, and I am currently having a little R&R.
First up, the Reaver problem is rapidly exacerbating, requiring coordinated action from the BPA, I believe.
Second, I really need training.

Constable Page, sending in my report from yesterday's patrol.
Although the day started off quietly with very little traffic in any of our systems, I received a report of a Hessian pirate in Snowdon. Meeting up with Ensign Brown of the BAF, we swept the system but were unable to find any sign of the offending vessel.
On our return to Cambridge, I found a Samura transport, designated dinosaur, at the gate. With his cargo of Silver Ore, I assumed he'd be headed to the Taus. Despite questioning the trader and explaining the situation with Kusari, we were unable to attain a peaceful solution. Brown was taken by surprise and his Templar destroyed before he could take evasive action; while I lasted much longer, I was unable to disable the vessel before succumbing to his turrets.
I sent a warning of the repercussions from the Norfolk and the trader paid his fines: 2 million for smuggling, 4 million for assault and even the relevant Tau Tax of 1.5 million.
Chatlog - 123
I later encountered the IMG transport .Am-Sher on his way to Harris with Silver Ore. Since the captain had previously been very cooperative, I was able to acquire his Tau Tax and escort him to the Tau-31 gate.
