Greetings Sirs,

My past few patrols have been eventful enough. I patrolled Leeds with Constable Benford.Calvert for a while, where we spoke with several vessels, all peaceful, lawful types. BAF|Ens.Amanda.Churchil joined us for a while as well. Constable Calvert went off to patrol Cambridge, and Ens. Churchil and I headed to New London, where it was all quiet until Constable Calvert's shift ended.

The quiet didn't last, however. A gentleman, and I use the term very lightly, by the name of Sergio Reyes arrived, and started insulting Bretonia. I met him at Southampton Shipyard. Upon scanning his ship, he was revealed as a Corsair (which I already suspected).

Ens. Churchil was on New London resupplying her ship, so I decided to attempt to hold him at Southampton until she could arrive and deal with him more properly. We engaged in witty debate.

Ens. Churchil arrived in her Templar and warned the Corsair off. He failed to comply, and the battle was begun. I bravely attempted to remain a distraction so that she could finish him off. Unfortunately I was too slow in getting myself out of harm's way, and my ship was downed. Luckily I was mere meters from Southampton, and was able to eject safely, with only minor injuries. I managed to get a parting shot in from my pod (a clich?d line, but effective...).

Sadly the Corsair managed to do the same to Ens. Churchil. I discovered this as she was brought into the station's medical wing only minutes after I arrived. Ens. Churchil and I discussed the battle, and I discovered that she had had a long day battling Kusari (successfully) prior to coming on patrol with me, and so perhaps her reflexes were not as quick as they could have been. This war is definitely taking its toll!

I took a much needed rest as my ship was being repaired, and visited my parents on New London.

Today my ship was repaired and I returned to Leeds to resume duty.

Things again began quietly enough, with only a license application (which I have already transmitted) from Midnight.El to transport Prisoners.

Then I had a conversation with a man calling himself "Sinn_Fein" claiming to be a Gaian. I never caught sight of his ship on my scanners, so I cannot confirm, but he certainly sounded like one from his statements. I have attached a full log, but I will summarize for those who may have better things to do than read lengthy log files of ultimately unimportant conversations. Essentially, he had two goals in Leeds:
1. Obtain something called "Hemp" for smoking. I assumed he meant Synthetic Marijuana, so I asked him to pay the tax, which he didn't do.
2. His second goal was to duel me in one-on-one combat. Well, as a Junior Constable this was somewhat problematic. There were no BAF or AFO certified officers present, so I told him the truth. Upon learning the facts of the situation, he departed peacefully, much to my relief.

The rest of my patrol consisted of speaking with a few people:
1. Mr. Jake Logan, a Bounty Hunter with a reputation of getting his target (9 confirmed targets destroyed). He went up against a Gaian in Edinburgh, but was forced to flee.
2. [WT]-V who had a malfunctioning transponder, transmitting Interspace IFF. He was unaware of the malfunction, and went off to have it fixed.

I returned to Leeds succesfully and composed this report.
