COMM ID:Cadet Ryan Dagnino TARGET ID:Liberty Navy Primary Fleet SUBJECT:Patrol Report ENCRYPTION:LOW PRIORITY:LOW
This is Cadet Ryan Dagnino, filing a report for my first patrol with the Liberty Navy.
I started my patrol by launching from Planet Manhattan ready for duty, and not long after I was contacted by Commander John Sader from the 5th fleet and several other Navy officers who were in capital ships. I joined them, and shortly afterwards Sader and I spotted a Scylla, callsign Deathcollector, on our scanners. The Rogue was heading toward the Colorado jump hole, and we pursued, while making it clear to Deathcollector that Rogues are not welcome in Liberty space. We jumped into the Colorado system, staying in range of the hostile. Our reinforcements soon arrived, including a dreadnought. The pirate was quickly dealt with.
Later, we returned to the New York system where we detected more Rogue contacts. This squadron included another Scylla, callsign Microchip as well as a Bactrian, Werewolf and some others. They drew us into the badlands, and a Freelancer sided with them. We engaged, and while the battle was not easy, we came out on top: thanks to the impressive skills of my fellow officers and subsequent assistance from Lieutenant Jason Hilerman. When the altercation was nearing an end and two hostiles had already fled, an Outcast vessel callsign Brainiac entered the vicinity and began to assist the remaining Rogues. The last few Rogues were eliminated and Brainiac was no match for us. The Outcast was destroyed when I delivered the killing blow via antimatter cannon.
Since all of the hostiles were taken care of, I reported to West Point Military Academy to repair my Upholder bomber. After the repairs, I resumed patrol in the Badlands with Commander John Sader to make sure there were no more enemy threats.
It was an honor to serve the Navy in my first patrol and I look forward to helping clear danger from the skies of Liberty again in the future.
