Paul Bailey

**Paul Christopher Bailey** was a former spy for the British police force, before becoming an officer for the International Space Police Force.

## Biography

### Early life

Paul Christopher Bailey was born to Patricia Bailey in Liverpool. He had an Aunty Jo, who struggled with her hearing, and an Uncle Bill. He presumably had sisters, to which Patricia referred to as "the girls". (AUDIO: *Old Flame, New Fire*)

### Life undercover

One of his missions saw him working alongside his friend Anton Makowski, who was unaware of his undercover work. They formed a very close relationship, that Paul later admitted to Anton could have gone further had he not left for the Moon. It was Paul who had helped Anton escape his life of crime and start again. Anton was, of course, disappointed to find out that Paul was an undercover cop, and would admit, many years later, that he was never certain if the "real Paul" was same guy he'd grown to love.

### Fighting the Collective

Whilst in a Moon Rover with Devis, Spring recalled Paul's past as an undercover cop and claimed that he had since become a dedicated Star Cop. His run down of his team was interrupted by Kenzy who informed Spring of the death of Sonia Garrett. (WC: *Star Cops The High Frontier*)

*To be added*

After discovering the illegal distribution and taking of cathe iboga on Moonbase, Paul was sent to the African Union Space Station, the Nelson Mandela, to question Dr Sani Habib, who was developing his own crop. When it became clear that the cathe iboga on Moonbase was related to that on the Nelson Mandela, Paul arrested Habib and took him back to the ISPF office for question. It became clear, however, that Habib was in fact mutating the cathe iboga for use as a food source that could be grown in arid conditions, such as Mars and in the deserts of Earth.

During Spring's kidnapping in Chad, it became clear that it was actually Habib's student Dr Kay Jones who was mutating the cathe iboga into a lethal narcotic on behalf of the Collective. (AUDIO: *Death in the Desert*)

Paul and Devis made their way to Liverpool for shore leave. With Devis heading to happily take Kenzy's spa retreat at the Sun King Spa Hotel, Paul made his way to a bookstore to find a present for his mother's birthday. There, he bumped into old friend, Anton Makowski, and the two of them held a much needed conversation elsewhere. Paul admitted that he indeed had feelings towards him. He then parted ways and went to his mother, handing her a first edition Agatha Christie book. Paul was lured to the docks where he was held at gunpoint by Anton, who claimed he was forced to take him aboard a boat by the Collective or his family would die.

Spotting the trouble from afar, Devis hopped on a boat and followed them, providing them with a much needed getaway when a concealed bomb blew up the original boat. Paul helped Anton and his family gain Witness Protection, but then realised that his own mother was unprotected. Rushing back, he found her murdered by the Collective by means of an acid cake. Along with the cake was a note, warning him off any further investigations, with the threat of more murders. Paul was forced to take compassionate leave, but not before Spring proved to him that his friend Anton had truly turned over a new leaf, with aspirations to even become a police officer.
