LIBERTY NAVY PATROL REPORT
Lieutenant Amelia Hale

DEPARTMENT RECEIVING: LIBERTY NAVY PATROL ARCHIVE

1. On 100400(Z)JUL835, a patrol of Pennsylvania was ongoing consisting of the Overlord Class Dreadnought Waimea commanded by ADM Cleveland, the Archer Class Cruiser Leyte Gulf commanded by CPT Shiv, and a patriot in escort piloted by myself. We were moving near the Ralston Ice Field when a pirate began demanding tolls for the usage of the New York gate over system-wide comms. I moved to investigate, finding a Barnacle.;.;.: Liberty Rogue Destroyer blocking the gate. After a brief conversation, I retired to Erie where ADM Sophia coordinated the response, moving to her personal fighter so that we could assist the Leyte Gulf in the upcoming engagement.

2. I moved back to the New York gate once coordination was complete, relaying information on the destroyer's load-out before the engagement. Barnacle.;.;.: seemed to be piloted by a rather easy-going captain, not firing immediately and only demanding a mild toll, and so we engaged in some banter while the others were arriving. As soon as the Archer moved in from the tradelane though, weapons fire was initiated, and so all three ships engaged the Liberty Rogue Destroyer.

3. The destroyer fled through the Pocono Asteroid Field, ping-ponging around the jagged rocks and making shots from the archer as difficult as possible. After a brief period where all three of our ships were engaged with the lone destroyer, ADM Cleveland moved away from the fight due to technical issues, leaving the Leyte Gulf and myself to continue the engagement. What resulted was a long, drawn-out chase. One important item of note: The Patriot I was flying only had one debilitator, and so it was extraordinarily difficult for my ship to maintain constant pressure on Barnacle.;.;.:'s shields. I adapted to this by committing to each attack run aggressively, placing an emphasis on firepower over my own ship's safety. This worked to a limited degree, and between Leyte Gulf and myself, we were able to get the Pirate ship's shields down, though this took a good fifteen minutes to accomplish and at the cost of many nanobots on my part. Another Navy ship, the Praetorian, began to arrive as we had finally whittled the destroyer's hull down to a mere sliver. ADM Cleveland ordered the ship to stand by.

4. At this point I made a critical mistake. I redoubled my aggressive flying to reduce the destroyer's shields, so stubbornly clinging to life, so that the Archer could put the finishing blow into it's hull. I did not notice the asteroid looming on the right side of the Patriot until it was took late. I impacted, bouncing directly into the Barnacle.;.;.:'s kill zone with my shields already down. To his credit, the Barnacle.;.;.:'s gunnery officer made good on the opportunity. My ship disintegrated around me, and I jettisoned into space. At least I have plenty of time in my escape pod to write this report. I now await my scolding, which is sure to come after making such an error.
