At first, it was a struggle for Kali to get back into the groove of things, especially with the new job and title of Ambassador. Thankfully, she ended up on a tiny ship, the Blackwell, where she could do some real good. Instead of the difficulties she'd faced on 118, where there were meetings after meetings, and a massive diplomatic department, she suddenly found herself on the edge of what was and what might have been. In the thick of things, she might have still been behind a desk, but she was very much knee deep in the middle of things. As she began her journey, [[Nicholotti The Path To The Stars|she reflected on the path]] that brought her there. | At first, it was a struggle for Kali to get back into the groove of things, especially with the new job and title of Ambassador.

Just when she thought she had settled in, changes were coming. In the shadow of the events on Arndall and her work brokering a peace that only came in the wake of an invasion of historical horrors, Kali wondered if she would ever really find her footing. Lost in the transition, and doing what she could to help find a missing away team from the confines of the diplomatic suites, it wasn't until most of the crew was reassigned to the [[USS Columbia]] that she started making headway.

Lost in the transition, and doing what she could to help find a missing away team from the confines of the diplomatic suites, it wasn't until most of the crew was reassigned to the [[USS Columbia]] that she started making headway. Assigned to the Sagittarius Reach, far from Earth, but close to the galactic barrier, the crew mostly wondered what effect the barrier would have on them. Kali took a special interest, getting lost in the view as the ship moved towards its newest area of operations. | ||

In the course of the year since Kali took command of the USS Resolution, she somehow managed to find her footing. With the memories of her past having resurfaced, the nightmares of the trials she had been through also resurfaced with alarming clarity. To avoid them, she threw herself into work, spending more time than necessary in her ready room or on the bridge. She put all she could into things until something snapped. Exasperated by the stress and isolation she had subjected herself to, Kali collapsed on the bridge making a tense situation worse for her crew.

Exasperated by the stress and isolation she had subjected herself to, Kali collapsed on the bridge making a tense situation worse for her crew. Emergency surgery was able to save her from the aneurysm in her brain, but the cause and the continuing unconscious state remained troubling. | ||

Still, Command deemed her unfit for command until other tests could prove otherwise, and the Resolution left her behind. Ultimately, she passed everything thrown at her and was restored to duty. | ||
It was upon her return that she began finally pushing past the self-imposed isolation she had previously suffered. Instead of typical promotion ceremonies, she planned one out in the commercial sector of 224, she adopted a dog from the station's animal shelter, and instead of sitting alone in her ready room Nicholotti she took a walk and embarked on what could be a dramatic change for her future. | It was upon her return that she began finally pushing past the self-imposed isolation she had previously suffered.

Remnant issues from her being rebuilt by the time-river entities on the other side of the Scar continue to surface, but none so dramatic as the one discovered as a result of the interference of CloQ and the time loop. Following the Resolution's eventual escape from the 'test' imposed by the Q, Kali began experiencing time jumps, taking her to moments in the past aboard the USS Excalibur around the time of her death. The problem was that not all of the moments she was witnessing were moments that she had witnessed to begin with, including the entirety of the court martial of Lieutenant Vitor Silveira, as well as her own funeral. With the result of each jump being her falling, running into, or otherwise forcefully returning to her own time, the physical toll was showing in the form of bruises and bumps all over her body as she tried to figure out what to do about it. Trying to make good for the crew, she managed to fulfill her role at the awards ceremony on Bajor, but gave herself up to Addison and Genkos after experiencing a jump in the middle of the ceremony. | |||
