CAREFUL CONSTABULARY

A patient people, these constables.

In my haste to procure the implements of my task, I journeyed to London. It was there that I found the "Hero" of New London himself, Sergeant Pickering, in dubious combat with a pirate cruiser. The officer needed some encouragement to deal with the reprobate (as well as some timely reinforcements), but in the end the reprobate was slain. In exchange for my silence on the matter of drink, the officers left what remained of the wreck to my capable hands.

While there was little of use for my own devices, the remains were traded on Trafalgar for various inventions (namely an elder NeuralNet broadnode). I still need to acquire the appropriate adapters and furnishings for my work.

[30.11.2024 20:03:03] CDI)Sgt-Bob.Pickering: Skipper, I suggest you set course out of here right away, before you get hurt
[30.11.2024 20:03:13] Infernal: Salu- oh my.
[30.11.2024 20:03:52] CDI)Sgt-Bob.Pickering: You're heavily damaged and ... hell I'm not payed enough for this
[30.11.2024 20:04:53] CDI)Sgt-Bob.Pickering: lets boot up those cruise engines, and cruise back to whatever hole you came from captain...
[30.11.2024 20:05:15] Infernal: I'm not positive he understood that, constable.
[30.11.2024 20:05:32] CDI)Sgt-Bob.Pickering: Right, we seem to have a tad of a predicament
[30.11.2024 20:05:49] CDI)Sgt-Bob.Pickering: Stop shooting me would you!
[30.11.2024 20:06:02] Infernal: Surely you Bretonians have prevailed on worse odds?
[30.11.2024 20:06:12] Infernal: I think you can take him.
[30.11.2024 20:06:23] CDI)Sgt-Bob.Pickering: I have my doubts
[30.11.2024 20:06:29] CDI)Sgt-Bob.Pickering: Listen erh...
[30.11.2024 20:06:40] CDI)Sgt-Bob.Pickering: You might not see it, but you are most surely surrounded skipper
[30.11.2024 20:06:49] Infernal: Most surely.
[30.11.2024 20:06:53] CDI)Sgt-Bob.Pickering: I suggest you get out of here, and stop shooting at me
[30.11.2024 20:07:18] CDI)Sgt-Bob.Pickering: Do we... even speak the same language?
[30.11.2024 20:07:56] CDI)Sgt-Bob.Pickering: Oh dear
[30.11.2024 20:08:02] Infernal: Unsporting.
[30.11.2024 20:08:10] Infernal: More to the point, /impolite/.
[30.11.2024 20:08:32] Infernal: I suppose I shall do my own part in the civic duties.
[30.11.2024 20:08:39] CDI)Sgt-Bob.Pickering: Right, this has gone on long enough, I am calling in reinforcements
[30.11.2024 20:09:35] Infernal: Surely we need no rescue the Rheinlanders, constable?
[30.11.2024 20:09:55] CDI)Sgt-Bob.Pickering: I erh...
[30.11.2024 20:10:26] CDI)Sgt-Bob.Pickering: well, it seems he is cruising out of here
[30.11.2024 20:12:46] Infernal: Ah. He will be trapped in the debris. You have him now!
[30.11.2024 20:13:06] CDI)Sgt-Bob.Pickering: I erh... I guess I am just going to try and maintain a secure perimeter around it
[30.11.2024 20:13:23] Infernal: Nonsense, Her Majesty gave you the weapons you need. Use them!
[30.11.2024 20:14:03] CDI)Sgt-Bob.Pickering: Oh dear.. is it turning around?
[30.11.2024 20:14:12] Infernal: Oh now, that is truly not acceptable.
[30.11.2024 20:14:24] Infernal: This is why I don't associate with Trafalgar.
[30.11.2024 20:14:47] CDI)Sgt-Bob.Pickering: well, no longer my problem!
[30.11.2024 20:15:14] CDI)Sgt-Bob.Pickering: The things you see sometimes ey?
[30.11.2024 20:15:42] Infernal: Hardly. I expected a constable to get into a proper scrap, as you say.
[30.11.2024 20:16:06] CDI)Sgt-Bob.Pickering: Erh... not for my wage
[30.11.2024 20:18:29] Infernal: Are these sorts of incidents common to the realm now?
[30.11.2024 20:18:42] CDI)Sgt-Bob.Pickering: *slurps his coffee* all the time
[30.11.2024 20:19:06] CDI)Sgt-Bob.Pickering: We do what we can, with what we have, I'm sure you can relate to that sentiment
[30.11.2024 20:19:23] Infernal: Maybe.
[30.11.2024 20:19:44] CDI)Sgt-Bob.Pickering: Right, you seem to be doing well for yourself though
[30.11.2024 20:19:53] Infernal: Although I'm sure Her Majesty might want to have a word with the likes of the Constable who was responsible for such a...
[30.11.2024 20:20:06] Infernal: 'Breach in Orbital Ettiquette'.
[30.11.2024 20:20:38] CDI)Sgt-Bob.Pickering: Breach in orbital etiquette? I think it was handled quite well
[30.11.2024 20:21:05] CDI)Sgt-Bob.Pickering: I've managed to stave off an enemy warship, whilst in danger of my own life, without firing a single shot
[30.11.2024 20:21:32] Infernal: Yes, I'm quite willing to testify to that. The not firing a shot on an enemy warship part.
[30.11.2024 20:21:53] Infernal: It was unshielded! You could have taken it!
[30.11.2024 20:26:07] CDI)Sgt-Bob.Pickering: Right... bloody ion storms
[30.11.2024 20:26:40] CDI)Sgt-Bob.Pickering: As I was saying... were I a member of the armed forces, I'd be most willing to open fire on that foreign warship
[30.11.2024 20:27:02] Infernal: Ah. So that's why you chose the constabulary then.
[30.11.2024 20:27:09] CDI)Sgt-Bob.Pickering: But I am a constable, a member of the CDI. We are trained in de-escalation
[30.11.2024 20:27:31] Infernal: Was that before or after the passenger liner blew up?
[30.11.2024 20:27:37] CDI)Sgt-Bob.Pickering: We try to minimize damages, and erh... de-escalate situations
[30.11.2024 20:27:57] Infernal: I am positively terrified of the bigger tragedy you prevented, then.
[30.11.2024 20:27:58] CDI)Sgt-Bob.Pickering: These things happen, the things you see on the beat... well
[30.11.2024 20:28:02] CDI)Sgt-Bob.Pickering: You do what you can
[30.11.2024 20:29:09] CDI)Sgt-Bob.Pickering: besides, have you seen the ship they've assigned me to? the fuselage is made out of plastic...
[30.11.2024 20:29:49] CDI)Sgt-Bob.Pickering: Anyhow erh...
[30.11.2024 20:29:50] Infernal: I assumed it was a matter of taste. The charters are nothing if not renowned for their lack of restraint.
[30.11.2024 20:30:04] Infernal: Militarization-wise, anyway.
[30.11.2024 20:30:17] CDI)Sgt-Bob.Pickering: hmn... could you elaborate on that?
[30.11.2024 20:30:32] Infernal: Would you care to take a fly to Dublin, then?
[30.11.2024 20:31:21] Infernal: One Mister Steiner that I was conversing with was quite clear that the friendly faces of BMM are not what they were.
[30.11.2024 20:31:30] CDI)Sgt-Bob.Pickering: What's in Dublin?
[30.11.2024 20:31:45] CDI)Sgt-Bob.Pickering: Steiner? isn't he some big whig businessman?
[30.11.2024 20:32:09] Infernal: That would be news to me. I met him as an officer of the armed forces, and group therapy member.
[30.11.2024 20:32:12] CDI)Sgt-Bob.Pickering: Victor...Right? I think I've read about him on the neural net once or twice
[30.11.2024 20:32:27] CDI)Sgt-Bob.Pickering: group therapy member?
[30.11.2024 20:33:09] CDI)Sgt-Bob.Pickering: Not again...
[30.11.2024 20:33:30] CDI)Sgt-Bob.Pickering: Right.. I've had quite enough of you skipper

[30.11.2024 20:39:48] CDI)SC-Eileen.Harding: I'm here to help!
[30.11.2024 20:40:05] CDI)SC-Eileen.Harding: That's a big ship...
[30.11.2024 20:40:16] Infernal: De-escalation, sergeant! You need to be kinder, like before!
[30.11.2024 20:40:20] CDI)SC-Eileen.Harding: Pickering, I'm powering up, um, getting ready to engage!
[30.11.2024 20:40:33] CDI)SC-Eileen.Harding: Bombs ready!
[30.11.2024 20:41:08] CDI)Sgt-Bob.Pickering**: these bloody torpedos don't seem to do much, be careful constable!
[30.11.2024 20:41:12] CDI)SC-Eileen.Harding: I will!
[30.11.2024 20:41:20] Death: Mustafa_bin_Mollyn was put out of action by a hostile vessel.

[30.11.2024 20:45:29] CDI)HMC-Tamworth: A: What the hell?!
[30.11.2024 20:45:31] Infernal: I would like to remind present company that yours truly is offering relocation services for any shot-down pilots.
