 Hoping to leave the stain of his academy years behind him, Nilsen's first posting was to the USS Oumuamua, as a '''helm, communications, and operations officer'''. During this time, Nilsen has been working hard in the lower decks and tried to make himself a valued member of the operations team, the change in his attitude post echo squad could be noted, he was more nervous and reserved. He joined the Oumuamua in mid 2400, met his roommate who he affectionately refers to as his "brorooomy," made a huge impact in his first mission and was showing a positive change in his behaviour. He was also valuable in helping the operations team to install their new Operations Centre as a part of the [[Focused Operation Refit Taskforce (Project Fort)]]. He also took part in a secret mission to learn more about possible Zet behaviour in the Alpha Quadrant.
 Nilsen was on track to becoming a model Starfleet officer however his time on the Oumuamua has not been without incident. Old issues, a chip on his shoulder and past failures all affected his present day relationships as well as reckless behaviour at the Denali Invitational. According to Commander Etan "It was clear that Nilsen was a gifted and promising officer, but he kept getting in his own way." <ref>Commander Etan Iljor - Into The Unknown - https://groups.google.com/g/sb118-oumuamua/c/IvJJe4lUeho/m/iAv51K6tAQAJ</ref>

+|Short Description=
+Nilsen's first mission aboard the Oumuama, deemed "complex" by Commodore V'Airu, tested his abilities and confidence. Affected by the nebula, he penned a resignation letter but was later called to the bridge to retrofit a mission pod. Expressing his doubts to Commodore V'Airu, he was reassured of his potential. Nilsen guided the Oumuamua through a micronebula, executed evasive maneuvers, and played a key role in the evacuation of the USS Nautilus. He admitted writing the resignation letter but hadn't submitted it. For his actions, Nilsen was awarded the Legion of Merit.
+|Long Description=
+Nilsen's first mission aboard the Oumuama was described by Commodore V'Airu as "complex." While in the lower decks, Nilsen felt the full force of the nebula's effect and during this time wrote his resignation letter<ref name=":0" />. During this mission, on Stardate 240008.03, Nilsen was called up to the bridge. With Commodore V'Airu, he joined LT Jack Kessler and LT Sasha Johnson in retrofitting the mission pod from a tactical to a scanning functionality. During this refit, Nilsen expressed his worries and concerns over the effect his crash had on his ability to do his job. Commodore Ossa V'Airu was heard saying, "That officer didn't make up my mind for me. I believe you deserve a chance," in response to Lhandon's worries about this sudden posting.
+<blockquote>'''Nilsen''': You’ve read my file? You saw that crash report? They said…the commander, my old instructor said I should never fly, he said that he’d tell every captain, every XO, every commander that I will ever have.
+Any joy that Lhandon had felt was replaced with one of worry as the words of his old instructor started to replay in his head.
+'''V'Airu:''' (with a brief shake of her head) That officer didn't make up my mind for me. I believe you deserve a chance.</blockquote>
+Nilsen took the helm, guided the Oumuamua through the micronebula, and took evasive action after becoming suspicious of a handful of sensor readouts. Nilsen interpreted these as potentially hostile contacts and took it upon himself to execute evasive maneuvers<ref>https://groups.google.com/g/sb118-oumuamua/c/CcBAO-uFNVw/m/x3FljMvUBAAJ</ref><ref>https://groups.google.com/g/sb118-oumuamua/c/QvsFq0_vRJI/m/fY9Rh-uWBAAJ</ref>. Nilsen was involved with contact with the USS Nautilus and facilitated communication with that ship. When the order was given to evacuate the USS Nautilus, Nilsen was able to free up resources to increase the efficiency of the operation. Sometime after this mission, he admitted he wrote the resignation letter to Commander Etan Iljor,<ref name=":0">Looking for Ihsehelm., [https://groups.google.com/g/sb118-oumuamua/c/6_anTawIw2A/m/lDiyI2NfAQAJ Part 1]., [https://groups.google.com/g/sb118-oumuamua/c/eaxNh_7jT4I/m/hLbYQHBfAQAJ Part 2]</ref> but he had yet to submit it. Nilsen was awarded the Legion of Merit for his actions during this mission.
