===USS Excalibur===

Newly promoted to Lieutenant in 2378, she was now seeing patients on her own and embarking on her first starship assignment, as Counselor on board the Sovereign Class USS Excalibur. The ship was crewed by many Dominion War veterans, and she continued to hone her skills to help those she could.

Newly promoted to Lieutenant JG in 2378, she was now seeing patients on her own and embarking on her first starship assignment, as Counselor on board the Sovereign Class USS Excalibur. The ship was crewed by many Dominion War veterans, and she continued to hone her skills to help those she could.

All in all, it became too much. Two years later, while the Excalibur was on shore leave at Freecloud, Katy tried snakeleaf, a highly addictive substance which made its users paranoid. She was initially able to hide her paranoia from her shipmates and patients, but after six months of increasing dependence and its resulting paranoia, Katy asked her commanding officer for a leave of absence to take care of her addiction. With her LOA secured, Katy left the Excalibur for treatment on Earth.

===AFtermath===

The loss of her son and his father almost broke Katy, and she once again retreated to the solitude of the mountains, consumed with grief and rage. This time, it was her father who gave her the “tough love” that she needed, and while the pain of losing her son will always be there, she only now truly understood what those who she had counseled with PTSD truly felt, along with those who willingly put their lives on the line to save her life and others. Once Deep Space 17 was retaken, Katy threw herself into the work of counseling those who had been taken captive by the Vaadwuar during its occupation. She understood them in a new light, because by counseling them on their losses and feelings, she was also counseling herself on her losses during that conflict. It was a job she would do for the next two years, earning several commendations and a promotion to Lieutenant ~~Commander~~.

For the next several years, Katy roamed around the Federation, filling in on several starships and starbases when their regular counselor was either on LOA or had been reassigned. She liked roaming the fleet, as it gave her contact with more of the various species which crewed starships and their varying mental needs. She was a vagabond, and enjoying it immensely.
