Subject: Patrol report, Osiris in Cambridge!

Gentlemen,

first, let me thank you for the promotion to the rank of a Captain! Congratulations as well to all the others that got promoted! I'll have a little tea party in my office next week! As well, I wish Captain Vimes a happy birthday!
Furthermore, I am glad to inform you that my cousin, Timothy Cooper, has decided to join our force - he will occupy the rank of a constable, flying for the Special Response Division, in a Challenger. I guess we won't see him that often (since they are a kind of emergency unit). Still, I think that our SRD units are now needed more than ever, considering the number of enemy capital ships in Bretonia.

Well, on to the rather sad patrol report now:
the recent Corsair invasions don't seem to break off. Today, as I was on patrol with Captain Vimes in Cambridge, we encountered another supporter of the enemies, [OTC]Mule.
He ignored all of our orders and blatantly docked to Cambridge Research Station. From there, he not only taunted and provoked us, he as well called support - as usual.

I suggest a new treatment for the [OTC] traders - shoot them until they are complying. Nothing else seems to work for them. I hate to consider such measures, but the support of the Corsairs just cannot be allowed!

Well, the "support" arrived a tad later. One Osiris Battleship (Lorenzomus), two Titans (Eagle_one, Tukor). This certainly is a proof for the insanity those Corsairs are living in - a battleship to get a smuggler out?! Well, our conversation with them was rather unnecessary:



After a few more words from us, they engaged. Of course, the smuggler used the opportunity to get away. In the following chaos, the helping [AmunRa]Murazor, a BAF gunboat, was destroyed, as well as Captain Vimes' Hussar which got hit by one of the Osiris' salvos. A mercenary that had been called to help, Escorter, managed to stop and destroy the fleeing smuggler though.
As Escorter was destroyed as well and I was left alone against the Corsairs, I, once again, retreated to the Norfolk.

I will get those Corsairs on our wanted list immediately.

Cooper out.
