Alf's Imperial Army Discovers Pirates In Island Bay
Intelligence report reads as follows:
16th Wellington Wegiment
Alf's Imperial Army Central Command
Intelligence Report Re: Island Bay
The Wegiment's Intelligence section has determined the existence of a large nest of Pirates in the Wellington suburb of
Island Bay, believed to operating under the cover of the innocuous-sounding "Island Bay Community Centre", and lead by a
so-called "Youth Worker".
Furthermore, since where there are Pirates, there must be buried treasure, we have deduced that these "Island Bay
Pirates" must be hiding their treasure on Tapu Te Ranga Island in the bay itself.
Since Her Majesty at present has no Alf's Imperial Navy stationed in Wellington, and being soldiers we can't swim, we
will therefore dig a tunnel from Shorland Park on the beachside, under the bay to the Island itself, in order to secure
these pirates' ill-gotten gains for Her Majesty and ensure that they be spent on such worthy causes as retirement lodges
for former Imperial soldiers and riding crops, spurs and gold braid for Her Majesty's officers.
The date chosen to begin this operation is Saturday May 16th (at 3PM) after participation in the Island Bay Festival
parade in full accrutements in order to cower the natives. The entire operation will be carried out in front of a large
audience of Island Bay locals (some of whom are believed to Pirate sympathizers) in order to demonstrate the full "shock
and awe" tactics necessary to enforce the peace.
It is known however that the Pirates will attempt to defend their ill-gotten gains, and a battle will occur. However,
the Pirates (being a lowdown, scurvy-ridden, ill-dressed and ill-disciplined lot) are expected to be handily given a
jolly sound thrashing and the suburb rendered safe for shipping and commerce.
