LIBERTY NAVY PATROL REPORT
Ensign Darren Barnes
DEPARTMENT RECEIVING: LIBERTY NAVY PATROL ARCHIVE
-- Begin Report --
Below details the patrol report concerning ENS. D BARNES in Zone 21 as part of assigned patrol.
Based out of Chadwick station, a routine check was performed of the Norfolk Shipyard areas and West Point Academy. Civilian traffic was low, routine scans were performed but turned up nothing of interest. Patrol then moved back to monitor the area Zone 21 and conduct routine inspection of weapons platforms in the vicinity of the Alaska Jump Gate. Weapon Platforms checked out OK and no unauthorized traffic was encountered in the vicinity.
Patrol Flight then moved on to second sweep, inside of the Alaska system and the navigation corridors. Encountered issues with outdated NavCom system data, and was required to make new mapping of minefield passages via beacons located in these passages. Encountered a single mine that had drifted from it's anchoring in one of these passages in Sector E7, it was destroyed as per protocol to ensure no damage to Liberty assets using this route. No substantial debris was observed.
Patrol Checkpoints in the system were checked and found to be in working condition and scanners reported no anomalies. Encountered LLS-Teapot.Dome survey ship and escorted the vessel whilst it collected research data within the sector. Escort was uneventful and conducted safely, with a return passage being secured and eventually we performed an extraction via Zone 21. Escorted vessel was returned to it's mooring and routine patrol resumed.
On final leg of patrol route whilst stopping at Norfolk for refuelling, encountered LNS-Saratoga undocking from her moorings at Norfolk. Communications were exchanged, and I was able to see a brief, yet impressive, weapon test demonstration from the capital ship platform. During this time, various Freelancers were transiting the area and were routinely cargo scanned. One had Rogue pilots they had captured, and were directed by myself to drop these off at a nearby military base to be secured and the pilot rewarded. No further communications with these freelancers was received.
Liberty Navy flight then returned to Chadwick Station to finish patrol and debrief, patrol vessel required minor maintenance to fix cosmetic damage caused by light impact of space debris.
