DO NOT USE POOLE JUMPHOLE IN NEW LONDON - OR - NEW LONDON JUMPHOLE IN POOLE!
There has been a sabotage attempt against New London Jumphole or the two turrets in Poole System. I am not sure what exactly was done but there was an attempt against it, 100 percent. The terrorist stated that "it would destroy several ships" before the attempt would be realized.
Consequence: Do NOT use the jumphole because it could have been manipulated. Do not approach the turrets, there might have been some programming changes implemented.
I pray to God that my warning comes not too late.
I shall turn myself in and face the consequences when it's time to do so. I'm sorry.
God save the Queen, Carina I, and long live Bretonia!

#OORP information:
This is part of a larger plot that has been started today (Monday, 17.1.) by IMG|The.Outlaw.Star. My character (IMG|Jack_Henderson) has been dragged into it. If you want to reply or participate in the actions, please anwer in the following thread, so that we can keep the actions focussed in a few places:
NSY CommChannel Status: OPEN

Priority: NORMAL
From: David Anthony
To: New Scotland Yard
Subject: Patrol Report 1-14
My patrol began in Leeds, which was quiet for once. I heard reports that it was a Kusari holiday, and all the Smugglers were in Liberty for once. So, I headed for New London.
In New London, I heard a call on the radio from a ship going by the name of BlackPowder asking if there were any peace keeping forces in the system. I replied in the affirmative and was in exchange asked to 'spontaneously die.' Rather rude, to say the least. I headed for Planet New London, where I met the BlackPowder in person. Seems he was not affiliated with any particular illegal group, and he wasn't breaking any laws, so after a bit more, shall we say, conversation, he headed off for Dublin.
Now, I don't really like Dublin, and I didn't want to get ambushed just on the other side of the jump gate, so I patrolled New London for a bit longer before heading to Dublin to check up on him, as promised. He was there all right, but there were bigger problems. The SCRA was in system. Just one gunboat but that is enough. I was joined by BAF Ensign Feya as well as Cpt.Sam.Clark and the HMS-Axiom[F]. Or perhaps I should say that I joined them. Either way, we chased the CPW-Social.Credit around Dublin. I warned the vessel that it was not welcome. The SCRA captain made a lame excuse, and kept running, eventually escaping to Omega-49.
Meanwhile, I rescued some BAF pilots from the kidnapper, BlackPowder. I knew he was up to no good! As he returned them peacefully, I had no cause to intiate hostilities. I flew the pilots to the Essex.
Meanwhile, the CPW-Social.Credit returned with a friend. They even admitted to being terrorists. Not that we didn't already know that, but still, having a recording of such a statement is somewhat rare. For their next trick, they began kidnapping BAF pilots. We were sadly outgunned, so until reinforcements could arrive, I monitored them, and had a bit of fun with them as well. They wished to fight Cpt.Sam.Clark in his cruiser, and asked me to try to persuade him to leave the vicinity of the Essex and fight them. I gave it, shall we say, somewhat less than my best shot.
Then things turned ugly. They decided to try to hold me hostage. And then had the gall to tell me 'no hard feelings'! I was having none of it and used my advanced dodging skills to escape to the Essex, where shortly the SCRA, showing more courage than brains, arrived as well. They ignored me, however, having bigger problems on their hands. Between Cpt.Sam.Clark and the Essex, they were sent packing, fleeing back into the Omega-49 system.
I was then contacted by a Zoner vessel by the name of New.Eden asking for transit permission through Dublin and Leeds into Manchester. I met the Zoner at the Omega-49 hole. I don't have any photographic evidence of the ship, as I was ambushed by Corsair Titans and Centurions, and my guncam damaged in the fight. To tell the truth, I barely escaped with my ship intact! Luckily the already captured footage of the previous events had already been uplinked to my onboard computer. I escorted the Zoner as far as the Magellan Jump Hole in Leeds before returning to New London for the night. I was quite exhausted at this point, not to mention all the damage that needed repairing on my Paladin, so I called it a night.

I then handed the trader's cargo over to a passing BMM ship, and told him to turn the mollys he had in his hold over to an officer of the law on an appropriate base. However, instead he jettosend and killed them!
As he was BMM and as the victims were only Mollys, I charged him with 5 counts of manslaughter, and fined him 5 mill, which he paid and I transfered to Anvil:
For the first time, Blake open his room's door at BPA Newgate as a Bretonia Police officer. The room looks like an office with some Bretonian's flag and a huge aquarium which entirely cover the back wall. Nearly an hundred fishs were around. Blake turned on his computer an begin to write a report.

[font=Palatino Linotype]
Well, As soon as I put BPA on my transponder I received an emergency call from a miner called Fremin in dublin. He was attacked by an independent pirate. After some talk the folks wanted to duel me. And well that was a bad idea after 5 min of just me ship was severely damaged as the guncam system. However the miner was safe.
After gathered some BAF reinforcement we decided to end them. Unfortunately the fight was done on dublin.
And Well since I cannot participate I was keeping an eye at the jump hole to warn the civilian who wanted to pass there.
Afterward I return on duty. At Edinburgh I met a Gaian. But Since my ship wasn't totaly repaired and since this one was particularly talkative I just take so intel.
Today during a basic patrol in Edinburgh I meet somethings... Somethings you can't miss, somethings I have never seen before. They called them Keeper. They "talk" by sensation they send you picture. They express themselves by feeling. Very strange.
But well this is a picture of the ship [●] and his loadout [●]
Now this is the weird thing.
This thing show me somethings about Phantom and his kind.
Millions years ago, the new london system was populated by an other race.
This one was "infected" by phantom by some nano machine.
They come from their cruiser. Then the infected begin to create and build a kind of phantom fleet.
Afterward they try to erase nomad. But they failed and the nomad erased all life in "New-London".
Then We discuss about it.
Here the whole story (at the begining we was talking about the order) :
NSY CommChannel Status: OPEN

Priority: NORMAL
From: Michael.Hamilton
To: New Scotland Yard
Subject: Patrol Report #1
Upon recruitment eager to get into the swing of things I was lucky enough to be contacted by our Chief Commissioner Lucy Silsbury to report to her in New London to hunt down a Hacker criminal known as Edward_Low.
We conducted a seep of the system and upon arrival at the Manchester Jump Gate we were ambushed by a mass hail of incoming fire from Corsair fighters. The order was given to break and attack and these pests were swiftly dispatched.
Further sweeping of the system we discovered a wing of Mollys attacking BMM shipping at Southampton Shipyard, which again, these were also swiftly dispatched.
Commissioner Silsbury explained to me the Junkers base at Trafalgar is well known for harbouring criminals so we investigated the area to no avail.
We then received a request for assistance from BAF vessel HMS Nottingham for a BPA transport to collect cargo dropped by a criminal known as Edward_Low in the Dublin System. Dammit, I thought. my first chance for a piece of excitement and he was dispatched by the Armed Forces. Ah well. This is where Commissioner Silsbury informed me Dublin is known as The Meatgrinder in the Officer's Mess Hall. This brought on some butterflies in my stomach.
We relieved the vessel so that an Interspace vessel known as The Twisted Sisters could collect the cargo on behalf of the BAF. This cargo seemed to be of some importance to the Corsairs as we repelled wave after wave of attacks from them.
[attachmentid=534]
After some time, the vessel arrived, retrieved the cargo then we escorted the vessel back to the more friendly territory of New London.
We landed on Planet New London and ended my first patrol there.
NSY CommChannel Status: OPEN

Subject: Good day, what?
Right, m'boys and gels! Lord Smithington-Smythe's the name, Thaddeus J. Smithington-Smythe, and I for my sins have been made the new Chief Commissioner of the Bretonia Police Authority following the resignation of Miss Silsbury. Enforce the law and defend the Crown and we'll all get along famously, what?
So, let's get down to business. I've set up a comms channel to try and figure out who's still flying with us. Do respond post-haste.
Strange patrol today chaps. Went to Dublin System and saw nary a miner. I can't recall the last time that's happened in the 'System of Gold'. So, I set about making myself useful and started looking for trade ships flying through Bretonia.
Flying through New London, I happened upon a Liberty trader named [*USI*]Boston[S]. He was hauling 4290 units of Mining Machinery. Don't know exactly why anyone would need that now, but who am I to question the value of a commodity. So, being the courteous and helpful sort, I offered to escort him during his run through our Queen's domain. He took me up on the offer and we headed to Graves Station and then over to Leeds at the Magellen jumphole. During the trip, we were verbally accosted by a couple of DHC traders. Quite uncouth they were and they truly exhibited bad form toward our Liberty guest. I reprimanded them and made sure that our guest made his way safely as far as I was permitted to go.
The kind fellow even gave me a generous reward for my efforts. One million credits of his hard earned income, as well as commendations for my fine work. Made me proud to be an officer, it did.

Good Evening Officers;
Those block-headed morons on Cambridge finally got my Hussar sorted; albeit missing a few lights. Most of them have University degrees you'd think they'd be able to find a few'¦ Moving on.
I was contacted by Lieutenant Commander Taine, with the charming news of a Kusari Destroyer in Leeds. With it being my first patrol and whatnot, he was decent enough to take care of it. How exactly I'm not sure, but it was gone by the time I arrived in New London. The good BAF Officer then joined me for a brief patrol.
We received word of a pirate Kusari (Surprise, Surprise) Explorer running around, and made contact near Planet New London. Evidently he was mute. All we got from the vessel was some nonsensical gibberish. Regardless; he complied with orders to depart before we could issue them. The last few signals put him somewhere in Liberty. Hurrah.
Heading back on towards Southampton, via Kensington, we picked up an A.I and a Molly having at it. In between the Molly screaming for the return of his lads, we convinced him to stop shooting. Regrettably; the Drone didn't and Mr Taine had yet another opportunity to test his weapons. Evidently while I was wiping the shrapnel off my windscreen the Molly (Fred.the.Fierce) did the unpredictable thing and ran. Local computers logged him heading through the Dublin gate a few minutes later. On the upside those pilots he was after are now answering a few questions down at the Hub.
Running usual patrol in Leeds today i saw two small traders heading to Tau gate filled with Military vehicles.Both of them didn't have Licence for carrying them,refused to pay tax,ran away to sell their cargos,returned to me and even attacked me...One of them was killed on site ,the other one escaped.
-Transporting Military vehicles without licence
-Resisting arest
-attacking a police officer
I request putting them in BPA's blacklist until paid their fines.
Another encounter i had in Leeds today was with a Junker with Pirate ID named ScrapCollector carrying 2000+ Cardamine.He did not comply my order to turn his engines down and tried to escape,so i was forced to open fire,unfortunately i wasn't able to stop him.
Violations:
-Smuggling Cardamine
-Resisting arest
-Attacking a police officer
Heavier actions should be taken against him.
