Page here again, reporting my participation in today's patrols accompanied by most of our police force. Bretonia must have been feeling pretty safe this morning...
The first section of my patrol has already been reported by Constable White, so I will continue my own from the Reaver encounter. After he was destroyed by the Reaver, I was able to use the same strategy as my last encounter with this ship type: lure him into jousting me after my shields were down and CD his missile/torpedo fire. Constable White's Hussar was avenged.
I also have evidence of the Tau Tax paid to me by .Am-Sher. Since he seems to make this run often, I advised him to apply for a Tau Trading Licence.
While the Deputy Commissioner dealt with the Kusari murderer, Inspector Constable and I talked to a Liberty Navy ship who claimed to be on a special mission and was generally acting quite strangely. He destroyed his small Cardamine cargo before proceeding.
Later on in the day, I took on Firebrick again in Cambridge. With the help of an independent by the name of Amanda.Morresey, I again took out the Reaver.
While taking captured pilots to Newgate, I encountered a Hacker fighter - MR_Virus - at the New London -> Manchester gate. Met with no response other than his weapons, I easily dispatched his ship.
My prison run was interrupted again when TLAGSNET picked up a Kusari freighter designated Theurgist carrying unlicensed Military Vehicles. The pilot seemed to be confused of his destination as I had to follow him into Magellan and back to Manchester twice before finally catching up. Again met with no response to my warnings, I made a rather large hole to reclaim the Vehicles.
Chatlog - 12
TLAGSNET also picked up a transport called Cygnet in Newcastle: its cargo hold contained Nomad weaponry and unusual survey readings. Constable White and I did a large sweep of the system (which included the Yorkshire Debris Field in my case) but did not find any more trace of the ship.
After a long and busy day of patrolling, I retired to Christy's before heading home.

Subject: Requests
Constable Thomas Page, submitting two requests that have become relevant at this time.
The first matter: I believe I have server Bretonia sufficiently to qualify for promotion to Sergeant. My total patrol time is here and I have reported the necessary number of patrols to ascend the ranks.
The evidence of my execution of duties prior to reaching full Constable was submitted here.
This, added to my duties as a Constable, leaves me with:
13 Patrol Reports
10 Escorts - 345678910
7 Arrests/Kills - 1234567
7 Fines Levied - 34567
Total Fines - 21,000,000 credits
While on patrol, I have, several times, come upon hostile ships that are too well-armed and -armoured for my Paladin to handle. For this reason, my second request is to join the SRD. I already have access to one of our Kingdom's fine Challenger bombers, all I need is the approval to use it.

I have two patrols to report sir: Patrol 1
At first things started pretty calm, as I escorted a hauler in Dublin to get Gold.
A miner was near Essex, but since there was minimal traffic at that time, I decided not to enforce the no-fly zone.
Things got interesting as a Gallic Cruiser with a Bretonian pilot hostage entered Bretonia and dashed to the Omegas. That left me dumbfounded. At that point I was unfortunately shot at and had to eject. No fear though, as rescue services salvaged my pod. Patrol 2
A Colonial entered from the Taus and asked for permission to enter New London and track down a weird fellow, to examine him. She was afraid he could've had Nomad ties. I escorted her there, and all we found was an unresponsive vessel. I deemed it was no threat to the Bretonian public and let it be.
Meanwhile, an annoying Kishiro craft entered NL, but McAllister will fill you in on that.
A Corsair then entered the system. Me and a brave freelancer fought him, but the freelancer was a bit too careless with is mines and shot his own ship to pieces. Thankfully I tractored his escape pod.
The 'sair then got tired of trying to hit my little Hussar, and subsequently fled to the Omegas. Me and that Colonial, Lena, made sure he left Bretonia.
That's all, more or less. Me and Lena then had some tea in Cambridge.

START OF TRANSMISSION:
This is basically a very-long overdue report.
Soon as I exited Planet Cambridge's atmosphere, I was swarmed with reports of a veritable fleet of Corsairs in the system.
I found them in Cardiff, where they were already engaging a bounty hunter.
My old Hussar could in no way survive such an engagement, so all I could do was stay within range and warn civilians of the threat, locking down the area.
I offered to provide the bounty hunter covering fire for his escape, but he went on to attack them.
Whilst a very good pilot from what I could see, he was eventually overwhelmed.
Reinforcements came, with Sgt. Page and Pebbles joining up with a BAF wing. We found an opening and attacked, but we were eventually taken out.
My ship was once again turnt to rubble, and Page once again took in my pod. They were eventually forced to flee, and Sairs evacuated the area as well soon thereafter.

Subject: Patrol Report 08/06 - 10/06
Sergeant Page, reporting in from Planet Cambridge after escaping from a battle with a large Corsair force. Ensigns Smith, Walton and I pursued the group to behind the planet, where we met up with the HMS-Susude and a freelancer by the name of Rudiger.Moller. The Susude and freelancer were soon destroyed, and eventually Smith was as well. We were joined by another freelancer and a Gunship BHG|Pepe, but these were defeated after Mulberry.Reaver arrived. Smith and I retreated after this, facing very difficult odds.
I also wish to submit reports on another few incidents that occurred in the previous two days.
While patrolling in New London, Constable White and some other Police pilots encountered a group of Mollys next to the planet. Despite the best effort of a Bretonian Gunboat, the vessel was destroyed and the rest of us were forced to retreat, with White's ship being destroyed next to Thames. We met up with other BAF forces and pursued to the Dublin system.
In Dublin, the HMS-Pestilence, Constable White, a freelancer flying the "Hubble" freighter and I stood against several Molly ships. We were joined by two independent Bretonian pilots flying a Gunboat and Bomber, but were still outnumbered. With White and the Pestilence providing support from the Essex, the rest of us engaged, with Lady Kensington offering tactical advice from the cloaked Grand Horizon. After more Molly Gunboats arrived, I gave the order to retreat since we could do little against such a large group.
Another group of Corsairs were hassling transports at King's Cross. Although the BAF and I were flying bombers during our search for the Sang_Royal, we were able to take out most of the group. One in particular was difficult to keep up with, so I retreated to re-engage using my Paladin instead. After a long engagement, we used the defence grid at the station to our advantage. Despite my request for him to leave first, Inspector Constable ordered my to leave while he covered my escape. Although I was able to escape to New London, the Inspector was killed soon afterwards.
IDs - 1234 Atnum Kill
After this battle, I have decided to maximise the armour of my Paladin and swap my laser weaponry for Sunrails.
While patrolling later in the evening, I encountered a mysteriously friendly Nomad ship, the Aurora. I had heard rumours of a similar ship assisting the Liberty Navy, so questioned the ship and discovered it had existed before we arrived in Sirius. With no hostile intentions towards our citizens, the Nomad took out several Gallic Royal Navy heavy patrols before I left for New London.
Chatlog - 123
The next day, a group of us managed to finally catch the Sang_Royal in Leeds. Although Inspector Constable was destroyed, Constable White managed to keep its cruise engines offline long enough for the HMS-Thunderer and I to destroy it.
We then proceeded to Newcastle to maintain the blockade of the two illegal bases there. However, two Reavers entered the system, so we broke off to deal with them. After a long chase along the lane from Carlisle to the Ark Royal, my Challenger was eventually destroyed by their fighter. The rest of the group continued the battle.

Sergeant Page, reporting the events of today's patrol.
Near the start of my patrol, I encountered a civilian shuttle, Sithis, using a Police IFF in New London while carrying Black Market Munitions. Despite the IFF and my questioning, I received no response from the pilot and engaged him. After removing his shields, I relented to see if another solution could be reached, but the pilot opened fire upon me. I pursued all the way to Birmingham, where he managed to dock, despite my orders to deny his access for all bases.
I encountered him another three times throughout the day, again being unresponsive and docking illegally on the second and third encounter. On the fourth time, he was stopped and destroyed by the Bowex transport Lawrence piloted by a captain Wallace.
I have stepped the fines up to 6 million for repeatedly resisting arrest. Fine Message
Working with BAF Ensign Brown, I investigate the intentions of the suspect flying the Businessman. Although he should still be watched, he seemed to be trading Basic Alloy to Scarborough and Super Alloy back, without criminal intent.
He contacted an acquaintance of his, Thomas.Jack, to help me against a Corsair Gunboat and Bomber. However, the Aurora turned up and after the Corsairs threatened to cook and eat the Nomad, destroyed them. Although it is a Nomad, the creature seems to have friendly intentions towards the Bretonian forces...
Flying my SRD bomber, I assisted the 'demolition crew' at Lindisfarne Island by destroying some of the weapon platforms' armaments. I then led the way for Commissioner Marwick to Backwater Research Station, where he negotiated its destruction with the administrator of the base.
The last incident of my patrol was a chase of the same Corsair pilot from the encounter with Aurora, who was hanging around Manchester. Despite the help of Bowex)Lawrence and the independent pilot of the Shining.Wisp (who seems to be interested in joining our forces), the Corsair managed to outmanoeuvre us with his knowledge of the jumphole network.

This is Sergeant Page, reporting a couple of events in the last few days.
Constable White and I received reports of a pirate, Last_Chance, who I had previously encountered, in Cambridge. We arrived quickly, but too late to save a transport from being destroyed. After witnessing this murder, the two of us engaged. Unfortunately White came under technical trouble, he still did some damage and I was eventually able to defeat the pirate.
I was later called in to assist against a Corsair Gunboat in Leeds. After a rather short engagement, Cazadores was destroyed.
An ore hauler, piloting the transport Mudslinger, contacted me about a pirate, Frettchen, in the Manchester system. Although the offending vessel left the area before I arrived, the civilian convoy was able to bait him into my grasp at Kingston. Despite the much heavier ship flown by the pirate, I was able to use the station's defences to survive. However, I was unable to do much lasting damage, and the pirate fled after the convoy returned. He knows he is not welcome in Bretonia.
While searching the Stokes field for the rumoured base, I was surprised to find a Hessian battleship there. Upon closer inspection, there was a stockpile of H-fuel nearby, but the capital ship's weapons kept me away before I could learn any more. Transports full of Hull Panels headed to the ship led me to later surmise that they must be jumping to another location for some construction purposes.
I was then called in by the Clear Horizons to gather evidence of an illegal base in Magellan. Due to the restricted docking and proximity to Mactan, it is unlikely to be friendly to the Houses of Liberty or Bretonia.
