Sea Patrol Fan Fiction
So this is a my first EVER fanfiction I wrote please read and review I apologise for any spelling mistakes as I am slightly Dyslexic so that doesn't help.
So the story line I've changed slightly compared to the final episode in the season , mainly I thought it was wrong to kill of Swain like that, which means I've kept him alive but Captain Jim still got killed as he never got off the boat in time before it exploded. I have also added in some lot twists and stories/characters that were never based or told in the TV series,
Chapter 1 –
Cairns Naval Base 0730 hours.
Twelve months have passed since Captain Jim Roth was killed and his memorial service was held on Cairns Navy Base, Since then Mike Flynn was assigned to NAVCOM and Kate McGregor had finally been promoted to CO of HMAS Hammersley, Today was the start of a new career change and a change of ranks, from Lieutenant Kate McGregor Executive Officer to Lieutenant Commander Kate McGregor Captain of Hammersley. She stood in her new White Navy Ceremonial Dress Uniform after heading straight back from NAVCOM speaking to Commander White, she was awaiting the arrival of two new crew members, a new Executive Officer and Navigator of the ship as the crew were practically begging for someone to help Navigate the ship when there all hands on deck. As her crew boarded the ship and saluted her up the gangway she could see two members of RAN in white uniform walking towards her in the distance, as they headed closer to her she realised she had seen them faces before. "Ma'am its understood your after two new members of crew for your ship?" As Kate looked up there stood Peter Thomochefsky and Nikki Caetano two previous crew members of HMAS Hammersley. Kate smiled as she knew straight away why they were there. "Well yes I am awaiting two members of crew; you must be them I take it?" Kate said with a rather large grin on her face. "Lieutenant Peter Thomochefsky your new Executive Officer pleasure to be working under you in these new circumstances". He said, "Lieutenant Nikki Caetano your new Navigator." Said Nikki, They could both tell Kate wanted to give them a big hug but had to keep it professional for the sake of the crew stood behind her watching. Kate gave them one last salute and said "Peter your cabin is to be shared with Swain, he is currently in the ward room stocking up I'm sure if you head there he will get you settled in, Nicki you now have our old cabin all to yourself now I've moved out go get yourselves sorted and we will meet on the bridge for an briefing at 0900 hours." She watched them head up the gangway as she waited for one final crew member to arrive, the one who is always late and never on time… " 2DADS your late again!, This time you can take action for your carelessness today, laundry room and austere needs a good clean top to bottom that can be done ontop of your duties understood?" Said Kate as she watched him nod his head and head onto the ship as she followed behind him, "Oh ma'am, congratulations on your promotion by the way, I knew you'd get there one day or another." Said 2DADS, "Nice try, your still doing your duties and the cleaning." She said as they headed into the quarter deck.
0900 hours - Bridge
Kate was heading up the stairs and ramp as she was greeted by a round of applause, she smiled and said "Alright settle down, you've had your fun, thanks guys partially all your help I'm stood here talking to you, anyways were to patrol around the Alfura sea warning off FFV into their side of the line and watch out for any suspicious activity, Now we welcome back Nikki as our Nav and Buffer now our xo so I take it well be calling you Peter now on, I think you've already said your hello's to the crew, but just in case you haven't met, Ryan, Dutchy and Bird our newest arrivals to Hammersley." Before she could continue RO interrupted her by saying "Ma'am Navcom on hold?", "Thanks RO I'll take it in the CO'S cabin". She turned to Nav and asked her to head out to Alfura Sea sector 1 and 2, "Navigator has the ship" she said as she headed to her cabin.
Kate sat down at the desk and picked up the phone and pressed the button to patch the call through "Lieutenant Commander Kate McGregor Hammersley hello?" Before Kate got a chance to listen into the NAVCOM Secretary answered "Lieutenant Commander McGregor Commander Flynn on hold putting you through now" Kate's heart had dropped, she hadn't heard from Mike Flynn back when she took her leave last year, they sat down and talked about how they felt about each other and agreed they both wanted the same thing, they ended up sleeping together and staying in Kate's house until one night Mike got up and left without a reason or goodbye. Little does mike know that Kate has a 3 month old at home that's his child, Kate Went into labour 6 weeks early after suffering a major bleed, luckily she was with her mum at the time, and the bleed was part of the umbilical cord detaching from the womb, her son spent 2 weeks in NICU and was sent home healthy and happy, he now stays at home with his nana while Kate's on Patrol.
"Lieutenant Commander McGregor, Hello we have some Intel that is coming from sector 2 and 3 of the Alfura Sea, a boat has been shot at and in taking water as we speak, and my secretary has already passed the co-ordinates through to RO so you can get a start." Said Commander Flynn. "Brilliant we'll get right there and inform you of any details once we have arrived, Okay thanks bye" Kate couldn't hang up the phone any sooner, she took a deep breath and headed up to the bridge to take control of the ship. "Captain has the ship; Nav has the Con, Nav I need us to get to them co-ordinates fast as possible please we could be looking at a shot at ship ready for sinking."
Distressed Boat 1600 hours-
They proceeded to the scene of the ship in distress, "Hands to boarding stations Hands to boarding stations Hands to boarding stations," Kate gave the call over the ships inner speaker ,She then turned and said " Ducthy I want you to head over there with our new X show him the ropes again, take Bird and 2DADS with RO in the first RHIB use your helmet cam to capture the damage on video, Swain I want you in the second RHIB with Ryan and Charge to bring back any passengers and crew to austere, get them comfortable then try and find out what has happened we've got direct orders to get the boat under toe and head back to base where AFI will be waiting for us to take over."
Cairns Base 2200 hours -
It turned out the boat that was shot at was carrying a small family taking a trip around the islands and set anchor to have a rest before carrying on. Arriving back at Cairns Base they handed over the investigation to Australian Federal Investigators and all agreed it was best to go and have a few drinks to commemorate the new Captain of Hammersley's first day.
