I am transmitting this as an addendum to ensign Robinson's report, since my shift continued after the aforementioned engagement.

Shortly after Robinson shoved a mine down the Greyhound's throat and signed off, I encountered a Molly gunboat, going by James.Phinney in Dublin.

I attempted to hold him up, and at least stall him in conversation, but surprisingly, instead of engaging he fled to New London, where I called for backup.

I was promptly answered by Lieutenant Layla Clay and Ensign Ando Jack, who flew a Templar and a Challenger respectively, if memory serves.

We all gave chase to the gunboat, chasing it back through the Dublin Jumphole in New London, and broke pursuit when it jumped to Chester.

We resumed routine patrol duty, checking New London, Leeds and Newcastle followed by spotting the gunboat again at Cambridge. (Note: Lieutenant Clay was forced to sign off due to heavy ion storm interference) We were also joined by a police officer, one BPA|Cst|Thomas.Page for that particular hunt, which led us back to Leeds and eventually New London yet again where we lost sight of the gunboat, and found another target - a Molly Werewolf SHF going by The.Great.White.

From that point on our relatively modest force snowballed and picked up at least one reservist gunboat going by Guardian-Deffender (sic), another few BPA officers who I don't remember clearly at the moment, and ensigns Robinson and Walton. A whole slew of Bounty Hunters also showed up, hoping to make some money.

The Werewolf led us on a long, long trip around New London, which culminated in it finally stopping to hold its ground at Trafalgar Base.

To my great surprise, the gunboat we'd been chasing previously came rushing towards Trafalgar too, and was almost shot apart before it managed to dock.

Shortly thereafter, the Werewolf docked as well, its pilot seemingly surprised and agitated about the fact that we like to defend our capital.

Uploading guncam imagery for your perusal.

After combat I ordered ensign Walton to take a brief peek in Cambridge as Robinson decided to recon Dublin all on his own, apparently. After discovering that both systems were effectively empty, we all rendezvoused back at New London and made a final sweep of Leeds.

Since Leeds was also quiet, I ended my shift there.

Arland out.
