Fleet Admiral Nelson to Andrew Stuart

[pbrione]

Well Stuart, it seems we have a little problem to discuss...

Josephine Monson. Name ring a bell? Yes, well she's currently in a secure military hospital on New London recovering from severe burns and asphixiation. Long story short, she was trying to supernova the HMS-Pendragon and her ship caught fire. As for why she was attempting to assault the flagship of the Bretonian Armed Forces...well, only she can really answer that one. I have reports of her pirating traders in the Leeds system, and I don't mean the Kusari part either - traders heading to Newcastle, Edinburgh and Liberty. Several of whom she fired on and possibly even destroyed. On top of this she has been disrupting trade lanes left right and centre across Leeds and New London and assaulted several BAF officers including causing severe damage to the HMS Emerald.

Now, I don't really think putting privateers on trial for piracy sets a particularly good precedent here, so I intend to have her out of here before the BPA and Crown Prosecution Service get their hands on her. But before you get her back, I want to know - what the hell is going on here? You have letters of marque to disrupt Kusari trade, I'm even prepared to turn a blind eye to your assaults on the Zoners who at least have been partially supporting our enemies, but what your people think they're doing disrupting trade in Bretonia I have no idea. We have the buccaneers to do that already for us, thank you very much. I suggest you get your band of thugs into some sort of line before you start causing more disruption to our own war effort than you do to the enemy's!

Signed,

Nelson

P.S. She's in the secure D ward of the Nightingale Servicemens' Hospital, New London. Try not to kill anyone. And she owes me 500,000 credits for repairs and to pay for the paperwork this is going to cost me....

EDIT: Make that a million credits. I've just got off the phone with MI5. They want her head. This is going to take a LOT of paperwork.....

Alright, I'll have her flogged like she deserves, need some discipline, unless this is some PR stunt I've not been made aware of. Let me know where the money is to go, milord.
