"[i]This is Squad Alpha reporting in. Everything is quiet on our end Sir. Continuing our patrol as planned towards checkpoint Brave three.[/i]"

"[i]Squad Tango reporting in. Came across a con artist that was in the middle of ripping off a family. Taking a detour to 'escort' him to the local authorities before continuing our patrol to checkpoint Foxtrot nine as planned.[/i]"

Thule nodded his head a little as he double checked the map on the pad that he was using to co-ordinate the squads before responding with a clear and impossible to misunderstand "Understood. Carry on as planned and report in when necessary. Over and out." After four clear 'Yes Sir's he was now free to send the status report for his own operation to Captain Tucker. Tucker was a hard man who demanded a lot from his subordinates, but Thule was perfectly okay with that. This was the Imperial Army damn it! If you weren't willing to push yourself to be as perfect as possible you should have joined the damn Imperial Navy instead.

The report itself was a short and to the point text based message since there was little point taking up the Captain's time by calling him when there wasn't really a reason to. It simply read: 

[i]Lieutenant Mac'Don reporting in. Patrols proceeding as planned. Minor criminal activity uncovered has been dealt with swiftly and subtlety without disrupting the parade or celebrations. Will continue to monitor the situation and keep you updated.[/i]

A hit of a button was all it took to send the message on. In truth Thule doubted that anything major would spring up; The various VIP's were all at the Governer's Palace after all. But that didn't mean he would neglect his duty or allow those under his command to neglect theirs.
