To: Inspector Grace O'Sullivan
Subject: Leeds incident

First of all, Dr. Saito will not longer be speaking with you on this matter at the recommendation of our legal staff as she has said her piece on the matter. Also, because of previous history with the Bretonian Crown, our lawyers have gotten pretty sharp on your legal codex which is often open for interpretation by your officers and personnel.
I have been reading through the reports on this whole incident both by what your officer has filed, you have interpreted and what Dr. Saito has filed. Note that medical records are sealed as we do not share them with anyone outside of my office. I find the conduct of your officer Pickering infuriating. Threatening my staff with torpedoes and pepper spray? And he thinks Zoners have the attitude? Then an apology is demanded? You MIGHT get one when he is terminated from his position.
Dr. Saito did NOT have to provide services to anyone but she did. She even put herself and her crew in harm's way to render aid and in typical Bretonian style, you wish to focus on what you feel is wrong so let us talk some of those points. This is coming from our legal team.

The United Kingdom of Bretonia Charter of Interstellar Law (UKBCIL) defines assault and kidnapping under Regulation 3.1. In particular, kidnapping is defined as the coerced detention of any vessel or individual, i.e. the holding of pilots or escape pods

You felt that going beyond LD-14 is unreasonable. Considering that Molly raiders frequent the area and have not always been friendly towards us AND we have a facility in Baffin, I see this as acceptable. Also per Med Force SOP which I wrote and all department heads approved, it is a central point between all major houses and close to the Taus and we there for retreat to it for a secure area to render care. For us in the Taus, we have had little interaction with the Outcasts and Gallics there but retreating to Baffin is our safety net.

Also per our SOP, if a patient is disruptive as your officers were, sedative are authorized if needed and trust me, we do not need to administer horse sedatives. Those are used in our veterinary division, NOT on a Med Force ship. What we use are strong enough and are prescribed. Perhaps next time then if someone wants to act like that we will put them in the brig until such time as they calm down. We do have one you know!

Now we do a good deal of business with Bretonian corporations and we would like to keep doing so but if unruly police officers are going to act like this and then threaten an entire Enterprise, we can take our business elsewhere. Your people already escalated this, we have not. We will NOT be pushed around by the Crown. The ball is in your court, Inspector.
