Calling all armchair generals! Boudica's Last Stand.

He would also have reported that the procurator had absconded and a replacement would have to be sent.

Although of course Decianus would probably already have sent his own report explaining his actions. I've suggested before that either the procurator's report or that of Suetonius from London could have spurred the emperor and his ministers into action - most recently here.

The mention of the 'full report' is my assumption that Tacitus would have been working from some kind of official statement or summary of what had happened, or a detailed account of events drafted by Suetonius following the final battle and the pacification of the immediate area of London, rather than from letters and rescripts produced while the fighting was in progress, which may have been rather more partial in their coverage and presented less of a clear picture - but we cannot know that.
