Good day sir. Today I want to report on the successful delivery of ammunition for LRF, the planet Leeds. One of the GRN who flew nearby damaged my radio station, so I will leave my cargo ship on the Isle of Sky. I will use our new technology for this minor repair.

Good day, gentlemen. Tonight, looking through the reports of our brave guards, I found a curious entry. Today, not far from the place of gold mining, our employee at the "Trisagion" gunboat destroyed an alien ship. This is alarming. Perhaps it is worthwhile to further strengthen the protection of the mining zone.

Greetings, Director Fulgrim

It is a pleasure to receive this information, so it seems our FortiSec Security Wing is at work.

Although i do agree with your assessment of the current Dublin situation,

I have given orders for our BMF|Fs-Fide security fleet based at Fortitudine in order to further increase patrols in our mining field.

On other matters, i am inviting our directors Board for a off-the-record meeting at our Tea & Pee Bar

Now that the Galic war is nearing it end, i can not state my revolt against these murderers,

This situation is not acceptable, this so called King must answer for his crimes against the people of Leeds.

Station Log entry 1:

First day on the job as BMF member in Mining Operations and I'm already seeing the benefits of membership!

Having purchased a second-hand Anki freighter and saddled it with as many mining tools as the hardpoints would allow, I proceeded to the fields to test out the arrays for efficiency as well as tweak the setup if needed.

What I didn't expect was a true live-production test - it turns out there was a smaller resource gathering operation that saw my ship and brightened up at the recognition of my transponder ID. I was asked to join their operations for a per unit fee - how could an old freelancer type refuse such a request!

As the operation went on, news of BMF mining operations seem to attract all sorts of attention to Dublin - fortunately all good this go-round! We had an independent helping with our deliveries to Ulster Station, as well as a few inquiries over wide-band asking my rates and hours. I'm only one ship!

Over 100,000 units of Gold Ore later, my Anki was still going strong, even when the shift was ended and the transports hauling their final loads.

Next time I head out there, I'll ensure to advise the office I may need to call fore 'reinforcements' should the demand get too hairy... I hate letting all that business go to waste! Who knew there's so many credits in Gold? *laugh*

To the BMF board:

I hereby inform you that for reasons of age and poor health I decide to retire from the BMF.
It was nice to be with you all this time, but the time has come when I cut back on my chores and so I have time to take care of myself.
I leave here my strong embrace to all.

Good day my fellow staff at BMF,

I just wanted to leave everyone a quick note to advise of my upcoming absence from operations - I'm going on a trip!

We all know these last few years have been difficult for everyone involved and while we all hoped the extra efforts would have worked in our favor, few could have foreseen the results of militant actions in Dublin.

I know I've felt the consequences both physically and mentally - this break is a recharge, which I hope will help me find some inspiration going forward and go back to giving that 100% you're all counted on!

I recommend it for any of you feeling the same... I've got a sweet contact at OS&C for those interested!

Farewell and see you all upon my return!!!

Best regards

AUDIO : LINKED

Right Then Lads & Ladites,

Today I bring you news of a total Drunkard that goes by the name "Johnyyy".
( Jock looks up towards the stars while moving his hand across the night sky as he speaks )
Our Johnyyy Boy here believes himself to be a Freelancer, a mercenary of the stars.

There I am undocking from Planet New London when this wee little Johnyyy starts opening up on me. At first I think Johnyyy boy here is just getting into it and Im getting hit by sporadic fire, so no big deal.
These things happen.

But then Johnyyy turns and follows me and now I'm getting some direct fire as I go in the direction of Isle of Skye. I near enough drop my clipboard that shows I just delivered 20, 000 units of basic alloy to the Isle of Skye. See I was on my run to start delivering water when this all happened. So anyway I tell him "You alright there Johnyyy boy?"

I get no reply except that of his weapons fire and the sound it makes against my shields. (Jock has an annoyed but bewildered look on his face) I yell at him "WHAT ARE YOU DOING?" See he hadn't said a word, not a sausage. So now I reckon this geezers off his head. "Your breaking the bloody law" I yelled at him but I forgot to hit the transmit so he didn't hear that.

He keeps on blasting away, so I activate weapons but I don't fire. I tell him, "Do not fire on my ship" Because Im giving him one last chance, because maybe he got confused with the regular traffic, which wasn't much and was aways from us by this point. But no, he carries on shooting. Its a good job I got a good shield. So at this point I just had it. Johnyyy boy here is about to get a bit of a surprise. I know he was surprised because I was surprised.

This guy was so brass that he thought he could get that close and have no problem. Well I gave him a problem. I fired all of my transport turrets, and they all hit him dead on, it was such a clean shot. (Jock couldn't help but smirk a little) Well that sent him flying back. And I Found myself saying, have at thee! Well after that I tell him "Back off" Oh it would have been so easy to hold that trigger down. In that moment I realized that in my older age now I have pity for idiots. So he moves away as hes badly hurt and restores his systems. He moves back to re-engage so I scan him and it comes up Freelancer transponder ID.

By this point we are at the Isle of Skye Station so I dock to drop off my cargo. Worried about the station and this loony outside I undock to take a look and what does he do? I tell you he opens fire not on me but the station so I tell him "Get away from the station" Now the stations shields are up and I'm shooting at him again then he stops and moves away. I then get these two transmissions.

[22.10.2024 19:39:00] Johnyyy: dude
[22.10.2024 19:39:03] Johnyyy: im ddoit a mission

What mission!? I think to myself.

In shock I reply to him "have you lost your marble?" I would of said marbles but see I'm pretty sure he has only one. After some more tempered fire from myself he gets the idea and goes away. I was left feeling it was either a noob or a targeted situation or a drunk out of his head cereal drinker.

Frigate Captain Gonville Welsh Security Division Reporting,

This is the debriefing report of the encounter with the Zoner know as Sapuraiya and local CDI Police. I myself was witness to half of the events that transpired with this encounter and have Jock Stewart's sworn statement and black box records from conducting formal interviews with the employees.

Jock : I was in command of the Iron-Brew Hegemon Asteroid Miner and training a new BMM employee called Fanny and she was in her ship called the Brisbane~Star. We were in the gold Founder's Asteroid Field in the Dublin system mining gold ore. I was explaining new difficulties to mining operations and the such and useful techniques pretty run of the mill stuff. When we finished up with full loads we headed north were we ran into the Zoner Sapuraiya.

He was heading to the jumphole for New London rather quickly only slowing for a moment when spotting us. Doing our due diligence we scanned him and commanded him to halt and tried to explain he shouldn't even be there but he was having none of it and gunned his engines to full. I told him he had wildcat gold and he gave a funny remark saying "you don't say" deviant chap he was. He jumped and we followed and again commanded him to halt again. He ran as fast as he could and escaped for the moment.

Myself and Fanny docked at Fortitudine dropped off our gold ore and then I ran to find yourself while Fanny went after him in the Brisebane~Star I found you and explained the situation thats when you scrambled QRF for pursuit. That was the end of my involvement.

At this point I ran to my Frigate which is always at the ready for quick reaction force tasks. My crew established contact with the Brisbane~Star. Fanny, was still searching and I decided to plot a course to the Manchester Gate as I believed he (Sapuraiya) would be trying to get straight out of Bretonia space as soon as possible. My hunch payed off as I found him intercepted by CDI)SC-Bob.Pickering, who was already underway assessing Sapuraiya.

I informed Pickering, This zoner was found in Dublin and ran when ordered to stop.
Pickering, explained that his superior was on his way. Sapuraiya played dumb asking "Is there anything that I did?".
Pickering, explained according to his logs and his cargo scan that there was indeed a problem.

Sapuraiya continued to play dumb and this is when CDI)HMC-Wollaton arrived on the scene.
Brisbane~Star, followed that arrival and commented "ah there is the Molly Supporter".
I then informed CDI that the Zoner was "Buying illegal goods. Running when ordered to halt by a crown corp"
Pickering then commented to the Zoner "It says here that you've been seen blockade running before, and evaded the constables that tried to pull you over?"

I was then asked to leave by Pickering "Listen erh... captain of the Harlech? This is erh... police business"
I decided in spirit of cooperation to take my leave. But was informed it was okay to stay and watch from a distance taking up a firing position if the zoner chose to run to the gate.

Sapuraiya, continued to be very evasive with the officers. Dodging questions and being very vague in his answers however CDI pushed forward with their questioning and was able to established multiple breaches of the law and lawful commands. His guilt was also established by his own emission about being in breach of the embargo.

Meanwhile a Corsair ident DTR-CNS>GatitoEspinosowas stalking somewhere in the system. Close enough to communicate and said I quote : "Oh, I have certainly been enjoying the tormentation of the poor Zoner."

At this point CDI)HMC-Wollaton was becoming frustrated with the Zoner and quite rightly as he was clearly playing games so Top decided it was time to wrap things up by asking how much myself and Brisebane~Star could carry. We answered promptly 2700 for my hold and additional 400 for Fanny totalling 3100 in all. With this said we took part the wildcat gold into our custody even though Sapuraiya tried more delaying tactics by acting confused about how to transfer the cargo, Nor our party of CDI were very impressed.

Now this is were I had to bite my tongue as to show unity as a nation in front of this Zoner but as a security and company man personally was not happy with the outcome but understand perhaps the police were trying to be fair and balanced and were under pressure just like I'm trying to be with this report.

Wollaton allowed the Zoner Sapuraiya to keep the remaining contraband gold despite multiple violations during a time of war for our nation and coming out of said warzone with a primary ingredient of this war which we at BMM are responsible for handling and refining as legal tender. So this left the Zoner with 1900 units of Wildcat Gold Bars in his possession by my calculations and was free to go with a warning after we were transferred part of the contraband.

Quote:[16.11.2024 20:03:41] CDI)HMC-Wollaton: Top: Alright. I'm issuing you with a penalty for smuggling and breach of contraband. I'm willing to waive it if you turn over -
[16.11.2024 20:03:59] CDI)HMC-Wollaton: - your ill gotten goods to Harleck and Brisbane.
[16.11.2024 20:04:15] CDI)HMC-Wollaton: Top: You can leave with what's left and a caution that we're arresting you if we catch you at this again.

For our part we secured what we were allowed to and offered support if needed later for the Corsair and we polity withdrew. We first moved the gold to Isle of Skye but it was decided to move it to a different BMF station (Redacted) for a closer inspection.

Conclusion

Without CDI we wouldn't have caught the Zoner with the contraband Wildcat Gold Bars so I am grateful for their man power and tenacity and presence, however when it comes to matter of gold these matters should of fallen to our agency as a nationalized part of the government and a national security matter of legal or illegal tender which we are responsible for. Had I not had my hands tied here we would of taken what gold we could of and destroyed the rest and let CDI handle the criminal.

Recommendation

If BMF are on scene any and all gold is under our Jurisdiction and we decide how it is secured, This is a high priority matter and needs immediate review as Police are not trained or equipped to handle these items.

Concerned,

Gonville Welsh
