Chief Inspector Laurence E. Pattison, RAC
Embassy of the Kingdom of Apilonia, Tbilisi
Marimaian Federation
Thursday 12th August 2021, 1700hrs Local Time
Chief Inspector Pattison was more than a little bemused when he was called down to the front gate of the Embassy in the later afternoon, albeit he fully understood why his men had wanted him to come down. The officers of the Royal Apilonian Constabulary assigned to Embassy Security were the closest that the, adamantly civilian, RAC came to operating true paramilitary forces, with the exception of the Infrastructure Security Command (ISC) which served as armed guards for key infrastructure, with very little day-to-day law enforcement duties. Despite operating on a scale and in a manner that was usual for a military gendarmerie, long tradition had kept the RAC as civilians, albeit ones with extensive law enforcement authority as duly-attested Crown Constables (the generally uniformed equivalents of the Crown Agents of the Royal Bureau of Investigation). As such, although the RAC conducted missions akin to those of a gendarmerie, and were often fairly heavily armed, they did not see themselves as soldiers but rather as peacekeepers. This was exemplified by the Embassy Security Division, who despite having a stock of weapons and armour akin to those used by the ISC, or by RAC SWAT Teams, they stayed in service uniforms for as long as possible.
That service uniform was iconic across the Kingdom, and in many respects remained a little less practical than it could be in order to maintain the image of the RAC; black trousers and black shoes with a white shirt (covered by lightweight body armour), and either traditional custodian helmets (usually in the urban areas, to make them stand out when compared to municipal law enforcement), or peaked caps. There was a more practical duty uniform, consisting of heavy duty working trousers and lighter, more breathable tops and baseball caps, but in the Embassy environment, the service uniform was far more appropriate. It was the same uniform that Pattison himself was in, complete with the same equipment belt worn in the Kingdom, including a Smith & Wesson M&P, chambered in the .40 S&W, the standard issue sidearm of the RAC.
“What’s going on here then, boys,” Pattison asked as he stepped up to the Sergeant of the Guard who had called him down, after responding to the front gate himself when the two Constables manning it had called it in. “What on Earth is this?”
The Sergeant quickly explained, and sure enough, a MariExpress delivery driver was unloading a package for them, with very irritated looking Apilonian Constables watching on. It was not for no reason that they looked less than pleased; with the exception of letters and other small items, which could more easily be screened for any explosives or other security risks, the Embassy did not tend to receive larger items except through official channels. All of which meant that the delivery of a larger item was both suspicious, and a massive inconvenience given that those Constables not on duty would doubtless be involved in determining if this package was a threat. Moreover, Pattison was almost certainly going to have to lockdown the Embassy until he could confirm that it wasn’t a threat, which meant that no one was going off duty anytime soon.
Pattison shook his head and stepped towards the MariExpress delivery driver.
“Sir, do you have an identity for the sender?” He asked the man. “Diplomatic missions don’t tend to get civilian deliveries.”
