LIBERTY NAVY PATROL REPORT
Cadet Claire Valenzuela
New York Patrol log
Cadet Valenzuela reporting in,
Went on patrol with Matthew Austin today. He is showing me the ropes on how to properly do a traffic stop and scan. We undocked from Norfolk and ran into a Freelancer going by the name of Faley Jones, in command of a Border Worlds hauler. We followed it all the way to the Colorado Jump gate when he was not stopping. Austin asked me to do a scan of the ship and cargo properly. Attached is the scan of the ship.
Ship was carrying a full load of fertilizers to Avon, a station I assume, to Galileo. After I mentioned the cargo was clear, Austin made sure that I scanned everything, from the equipment, to the cargo, to even the ammunitions. It was a good way to practice since it was a calm patrol and I am taking his words to heart. We moved on to Planet Manhattan as the next waypoint in our patrol when our scanners lit up.
What we saw was an Outcast vessel, a Hasta-class Battlecruiser aptly named MNS-Armageddon. It was huge, first time seeing something like that compared to the capital vessels we have here. Me and Austin couldn't do much since we were both in Defender VHF's, but as luck would have it, the Liberty Battlecruiser Columbia and the Liberty Dreadnought Tumwater made an appearance. This was all behind Planet Manhattan.
The Tumwater and Armageddon duked it out while me and Austin secured the perimeter to make sure nothing interfered while the Columbia is holding position ready to jump in at a moments notice. As for me and Austin, he asked if I had a Upholder bomber ready and I responded with yes. We made our way from the area back to Norfolk to pick up our bombers to assist the Tumwater.
My Upholder was still under maintenance in Norfolk but had to be prepared quickly. After loading up the bomber with Nova's, I set out back to New York in a rush to support the Tumwater with Austin's help. We rendezvous at West Point and rushed towards the battle when we got a notification from Columbia that Tumwater just got blown out of the sky. That gave us the push we needed to avenge our lost ship.
While we were engaging the Battlecruiser, several Rogue ships showed up to assist the Outcast. One Scylla and a Very Heavy Fighter. Names will be included on this report.
List of ships we encountered:
MNS-Armageddon - Hasta-class Battlecruiser
RB-Deaf - Rogue VHF
Rough.Rogue - Rogue VHF
Note: Scans were provided by Matthew Austin as he was teaching me the ropes. Hopefully this will teach me how to do it on my own when the time comes.
After the battle, my ship was almost totaled and I suffered some injuries. Frankly, I almost died, I panicked. But thankfully Austin and Daniel White was there to keep me grounded and not to panic. We escorted the Columbia to Norfolk and that's when I docked to get patched up and my ship repaired.
White's words were true...."That was a bit of trial by fire for you.".
