After a long tenure at Starfleet Academy, Vada returned to security as a senior NCO in the security department on Earth Spacedock. The posting only lasted a few months. In early 2367, a Borg cube destroyed 39 Starfleet ships and came within minutes of assimilating Earth itself. Multiple ships that Vada had served on had just been destroyed and another homeworld was about to be assimilated. And Vada froze. She failed to reach her duty station and remained in the bunks, having a serious anxiety attack. | After a long tenure at Starfleet Academy, Vada returned to security as a senior NCO in the security department on Earth Spacedock.

There was a disciplinary panel, but the panel was sensitive to the reasons behind her failure to report to duty and were not considering anything too serious in terms of discipline. However, Vada requested to retire from Starfleet altogether. If the Borg were back and finally in the Federation, she was not confident in her ability to face that threat again. She was allowed to retire in good standing on Stardate 236704.18. | There was a disciplinary panel, but the panel was sensitive to the reasons behind her failure to report to duty and were not considering anything too serious in terms of discipline.

She was allowed to retire in good standing on Stardate 236704.18. She started writing after her retirement. She wrote a book about her own early life as a refugee of the Borg and would write multiple fictional titles too. A friend submitted one of her accounts of what seeing the assimilation of a planet was like to the FNS on her behalf, getting her a job offer as a correspondent. A position Vada accepted just in time for galactic affairs to become very newsworthy. | ||

The Dominion War served as a trial by fire for the new journalist. She was out in the field as a war reporter, seeing the devastation of the war firsthand. Her Starfleet experience made her a logical choice for dangerous front line assignments. It was during the war that a concealed phaser became a standard part of Vada’s journalistic toolkit. She leveraged her Starfleet background to get close to Starfleet units and was one of the closest civilians to the fighting during battle. While her Dominion War coverage was exemplary, disagreements with management and a newly-developed habit of sticking her nose where it didn’t belong ensured that Vada would not be with the Federation News Service for much longer. She enjoyed her newfound freedom from decades of protocol and military life a bit too much and could sometimes rub people the wrong way with her meddling. | The Dominion War served as a trial by fire for the new journalist.
