Constable Beurling

Thank you for expressing an interest in the Civil Defence Initiative.

Your credentials are impeccable, and we've recently had several other BPA constables and inspectors transfer on secondment to the Chief Inspector's staff. I believe Scotland Yard is trying to enforce heightened training standards. You should fit right in with that group. Where you are already based on Sprague, this should be a simple matter of reporting to Stanbrook Hall to have your papers formally transferred.

Regarding the Crusader, we typically restrict the use of our limited stocks of military hardware to our sergeants and inspectors. This is primarily an issue of, well... During the worst days of the war, the average lifespan for a green Special Constable was approximately 96 hours. Issuing them with Crusaders wasn't practical. I understand you've already requisitioned this ship and have made maintenance arrangements with the BPA, however the primary issue is sustainment.

Regrettably, the BPA have abruptly withdrawn from such arrangements in the past, citing budgetary and resource constraints. As a result, we prefer to source parts directly from the Armed Forces, within the parameters of the allocated CDI maintenance budget. The budget doesn't currently cover Crusader deployment for constables; an exception could be made if you were to strike a deal directly with one of the BAF's quartermasters. Sometimes they are willing to sponsor parts for particularly exceptional pilots, although they may have conditions.

In the mean time, you are welcome to review the confiscated ship pool on Sprague, should you need an alternate set of wings while an arrangement is reached with the fleet.

Yours sincerely
