Dear Sir

I find it hard to comprehend that such places that you were 're-visiting' were eighty Klicks directly upwards...
That is indeed where I chased your companion.
I also find it hard to understand how a sight-seeing trip warrants the evasion of BPA officers. This open avoision of a cargo scan leads me to be quite concerned about the contents therein.
Need I remind you that it is the assignment of the Bretonian Police to detain and deal with any smugglers within our borders.

Also, having the ear of our Queen and being a member of the House of Lords does not have any bearing in the eyes of the law.
If you are breaking the law, you are a criminal and shall be dealt with in such a manner.

I am disgusted that a member of society with your status could imagine himself above the laws that both I, Inspector Savins and yourself have sworn to uphold! As mentioned before, even the Monarchy is held accountable by the law. I fail to see your insinuation of discourtesy as anything but a weak attempt to make yourself seem less culpable by trying to portray that comment as a slight on our Queen…

You are in no way obligated to receive special treatment from the Bretonian Police Authority, the same as any other person. Indeed, if such treatment existed, I am quite sure a member of the House of Commons would be more deserving of any favoritism then one such as you!

Now listen carefully Lord Bayliss, I believe that one such as yourself deserves the long arm of the law grasping you in a headlock rather than a friendly embrace.
If you comply with Bretonian Interstellar Law and halt on command to be scanned, you will be treated with respect and civility. Being 'in a hurry' is no excuse for circumventing the law.

However if you attempt to avoid us and indeed threaten us with abuse of your power then any respect for you is lost in my eyes and the eyes of my fellow Officers.


Yours with the maximum amount of civility I could summon.

Commander Lucy Silsbury

Bretonian Police Authority
