“Hello, you have reached the Empire Police Department, how may we help you?”
“Good day. My name is Carmelita Fox-Cooper, I am calling to talk about a solution to international criminals.”
“...I beg your pardon?”
“I have a proposal that I think someone high up in the EPD should have a look at. It has the potential to crack down hard on international crime.”
“...I’m sorry, this is a little above my paycheck. Let me fetch my supervisor.”
There is silence for a couple of minutes.
“This better not be another crank call, or I swear I’ll demote you. Hello, Head of EPD PR speaking.”
“Good day, sir. My name is Carmelita Fox-Cooper, I am calling to talk about a solution to international criminals.”
“Okay, sure. Write it up, send it our way and see if it avoids the shredder.”
“Sir, I have the feeling you aren’t taking this seriously.”
“That’s because I’m not. Some random woman’s called up saying she can solve international crime, of course I’m not taking it seriously.”
“Let me rephrase it, then. I have a proposal that I think someone high up in the EPD should have a look at. It has the potential to crack down hard on international crime. It would most likely be classified as a low risk, high reward plan.”
“Ok, let’s hear it then.”
“I am an experienced police officer with a long history of successful international policing. I am establishing a non-political organisation with the aim of facilitating bringing international criminals to justice, and am contacting the EPD as one of the six principal beneficiaries of such a scheme.”
“So what’s the catch? You looking to get room to waltz in and start doing our jobs? Or worse, that of Camelot?”
“Nothing of the sort. I have a document to forward to your department of an ‘in principle’ approval of the organisation. After getting this approval, the organisation would need to work to gain approval to operate in each member’s territory.”
“Okay, even I can see this isn’t going to work. Camelot would never approve of us getting to call in folks in their territory.”
“The proposal is not for specific criminals but for perpetrators of specific types of crimes such as murder. I doubt anyone would object to these sorts of criminals being brought into custody.”
“Right then. I have to say, your idea’s not as bad as I thought. You got a date in mind for getting this document of yours signed?”
“I was planning on arranging a conference call between the departments after sending each a copy.”
“Right then. Ring 0112-EPD-35548 when you’re looking to arrange the actual call. Send me the document at [/color] [color=#1155cc]EPDHPR7341@epd.gov.cor straight after this. You’ve got a lot of work ahead of you.”
“Thank you sir. Goodbye.”

Edit Reason: Canterlot --> Camelot

“-mirror’s flashing. Is it supposed to be doing that?”
“Of course it is, it’s one of those fancy magic mirrors. Oi, Stewart! There’s a flashing mirror in your office!”
“There’s what?”
“I said, there’s a flashing mirror in your office!”
“Oh! Press the gem in the corner and answer it!”
“I already pressed the gem!”
“Excuse me-”
“Then shut up and listen to whoever’s trying to contact us, you nitwit!”
“Excuse me!”
“Oh! The mirror’s talking!”
“Ugh, you imbeciles. Get out, the both of you, and shut the door behind you!”
The sound of slamming can be heard.
“Hello?”
“Hello, madam, I apologise for all that. We weren’t expecting a call today. What can I help you with?”
“Is… is this the Camelot Guard?”
“Well, yes. Sort of. I’m actually the stand-in protocol handler at the moment, I usually handle logistics for lower Camelot but there was a magical bullfrog attack last week and half the department has called in sick with warts.”
“Right then. My name is Carmelita Fox-Cooper, I am calling to talk about a solution to international criminals.”
“Is that a thing? People just ring up with solutions?”
“Not exactly. I think the best thing to do in this situation is for me to send you the document to pass on to your superiors.”
“Document?”
“I am an experienced police officer with a long history of successful international policing. I am establishing a non-political organisation with the aim of facilitating bringing international criminals to justice, and am contacting the Camelot Guard as one of the six principal beneficiaries of such a scheme.”
“Okay, so you’ll be sending a document for Vimes or someone to have a look at.”
“Yes. I’m intending to assemble a conference call at a later date to discuss it.”
“Hang on, let me write this all down.”
The sound of scrabbling and then of a quill scratching against parchment.
“Okay, got it. I’ll send a dispatch to the central yard to let them know. If you can get the document to us on paper that will make the whole process so much simpler, but I think I can contact one of the magical printers up in the sideways district to print it out. If you can wait ten minutes, I’ll run up and talk to them.”
“I can wait.”
The sound of footsteps and a door closing.
Twenty minutes pass before the footsteps return.
“Hello? Are you still there?”
“Yes, I am.”
“Okay, if you send the document to Pentagram-Squiggle-Rune-Octomarine-13-7-3, they’ll print it out. Do you have an address I can send a message to when we get it?”
“Yes. Send it to CFoxCooper@SupraPol.org.”
“Right then. Contact us when you’ve got that conference call thingy ready to go!”
There’s a pause.
“Huh, how do I turn this off aga-”

“Darkshire Militia. You have two sentences to identify this number.”
“Inspector Carmelita Fox-Cooper, Endless Dunes. I am calling with a solution to international criminals.”
“Well?”
“We’re good, no subliminals or mind control.”
“Well, Inspector, you’re talking to a member of the internal watch. I’ll keep this brief: Atelos is currently out fighting.”
“That is fine. I am an experienced police officer with a long history of successful international policing. I am establishing a non-political organisation with the aim of facilitating bringing international criminals to justice, and am contacting the Darkshire Militia as one of the six principal beneficiaries of such a scheme.”
“Sounds like you’re speaking from rote. What’s the catch?”
“The catch?”
“I’ve heard at least three deals worthy of Diablo start off with a spiel like that. What’s the trade off?”
“Well, in exchange for having serial murderers and the like that escape into another power’s territory brought to justice, the same has to go for those powers.”
“Right. So this is a ‘vampires can’t enter unless invited’ kind of deal.”
“In a sense. The metaphor gets stretched a little if you compare blood-sucking to catching criminals.”
“Hm. You expecting to have this approved off the bat?”
“Not at all. I’ve got an ‘in principle’ document for signing, and am arranging to get a conference call between the law enforcement agencies for discussion. The actual approval for SupraPol to operate in your territory is to be sorted out after we get approval to be operating at all.”
“Well I can’t promise anything. Do you have the document ready for Dataverse caching?”
“Yes.”
“Send it to Darkshire Militia containment box five. We’ll need to check it for curses and similar before we can look it over and consider it. Call this number again when the cache is cleared, no sooner, then we’ll talk further.”
“Thank you.”
“Goodbye.”

“Sheriff’s office, Deputy Tess.”
“Inspector Fox-Cooper, Deputy. I’m calling about international crime.”
“Look, if you’re considerin’ chasing after some varmint sneaking into Coruscant, forget it. They don’t like folk like us trespassing on their turf. Sorry Deputy, them’s the facts.”
“Actually, I’m calling about a solution.”
“Shoot.”
“I am establishing a non-political organisation with the aim of facilitating bringing international criminals to justice, and am contacting the Town as one of the six principal beneficiaries of the scheme. I’ve got a document for perusal and I’m working on arranging a conference call.”
“Shucks, all that? Sounds mighty impressive, but you know that words ain’t gonna cut it.”
“I’m looking for approval in principle first. Then I talk to Roland and show him how we can help.”
“Uh-huh. Drop the paper off with the fax, you know the number?”
“I have it up on screen.”
“Okay, send it and I’ll toss it on his in-tray. Might blow out a bunch of cobwebs while I do that.”
“Thank you.”
“Eh, thank me if he reads the thing. See ya.”

“Hello! Ambrosia Royal Guard, how may I help you?”
“Good day, ma’am. My name is Carmelita Fox-Cooper, I am calling to talk about a solution to international criminals.”
“Oh! Fascinating! Tell me more!”
“... um… ahem, I am an experienced police officer with a long history of successful international policing. I am establishing a non-political organisation with the aim of facilitating bringing international criminals to justice, and am contacting the Royal Guard of Ambrosia as one of the six principal beneficiaries of such a scheme.”
“Ooh! Is there more?”
“I have a document to forward to your department of an ‘in principle’ approval of the organisation. After getting this approval, the organisation would need to work to gain approval to operate in each member’s territory. I am aiming to organise a conference call between all six law enforcement agencies.”
“Nice! Send it already!”
“Uh… okay? Done.”
“Okay, it’s printing! Hope you have a nice day!”
“Thanks?”
“Bye!”

“Staff Officer Rotom speaking.”
“Hello, is this the Cinnabar Police Headquarters?”
“Close enough that there’s no difference. What can I help you with today?”
“My name is Carmelita Fox-Cooper, I am calling to talk about a solution to international criminals.”
“Like terrorists?”
“Yes.”
“So you’d be cracking down on the Liberation Front?”
“Yes.”
“Okay, details for the higher ups please.”
“I am an experienced police officer with a long history of successful international policing. I am establishing a non-political organisation with the aim of facilitating bringing international criminals to justice, and am contacting the Cinnabar Police Department as one of the six principal beneficiaries of such a scheme.”
“Right, excuse me a moment.”
There is the sound of static, before a different voice begins speaking.
“Hello, Staff Officer Porygon speaking. You say you’re establishing a non-political organisation. Would it be going by the name of SupraPol?”
“Yes, it is.”
“Right then, what are your plans?”
“I have a document to forward to your department of an ‘in principle’ approval of the organisation. After getting this approval, the organisation would need to work to gain approval to operate in each member’s territory. I am aiming to organise a conference call between all six law enforcement agencies.”
“Okay, excuse me a moment.”
There is the sound of static, before a third voice begins speaking.”
“Hello, Staff Officer Z speaking. I am preparing to print out your document. Please send it as an encrypted sound file after the beep.”
There is a short pause with the sounds of a computer in the background, before there is a loud beep. A short period of rapid tonal exchange occurs.
“Thank you. We’ll await your contact about the conference call at a later time.”
