Ventu/Later Career

Starfleet Life, Part 2

• 238406.13-16 - Lily arrives on Deep Space 17 and reports to the docked Triumphant, where she is formally welcomed aboard by Captain Rhys. Following a formal banquet, her first act as first officer is to discipline Ensign Tal Tel-Ar, who has been arrested for instigating a brawl in one of DS17's bars.
• 238406 (mid-late) - The Triumphant embarks on a mission to the FTU's Asterospolis, hoping to establish trade relations between the FTU and the Federation.
• 238407 - After discovering their contact on the FTU has been murdered, Lily leads a covert away team to the station. There, she discovers from FTU Captain Elos and her sister Merina that FTU Captain Brol Isak killed their contact, and is about to attack the Federation's Wheeler Colony.
• 238408 - The Triumphant is too late to stop the attack on Wheeler. Isak, however, claims that Elos was responsible, and enters into some lengthy talks with Captain Rhys while Lily oversees the rescue efforts for the colony and its support vessel, the Yellowknife. When Isak's ship attacks, both captains are knocked unconscious, leaving Lily in command with no way to make force Isak to make his ship back off. Using the crippled Yellowknife and the help of Elos's ship, the Guardian, Lily and the Triumphant crew are able to destroy Isak's ship. Rescue ships from the FTU and the Federation arrive, and the Triumphant heads back to DS17 for repairs.
• 238409 - After his recovery, Captain Rhys announces that he's being reassigned to Bajor and the Triumphant is being decommissioned. Lily is assigned to the USS Independence-A as that vessel's CMO, along with Lieutenant Quinn Reynolds and Lieutenant JG Tildaen Ethelwin from the Triumphant. The stopover at DS17 is a somewhat bittersweet one, though, as the relationship between Lily and Nick comes to an end. However, Lily does meet Nick's friend and Quinn's cousin, Doctor Hayden Reynolds, who's been newly assigned to the Independence as well.
• 238409 - 238410 - Lily serves as CMO for a short period before requesting an interdepartmental transfer from Admiral Anassasi, her new CO. Lily, in the absence of a command position, decided to fall back on her counseling training, and becomes the Independence's head counselor. Lily and Hayden clarify their status as significant others.
• 238411 - The crew of the Independence was split in half in order to investigate a mystery deep in the Ithassa Region. Lily, serving dually as counselor and Commander Sidney Riley's first officer, was part of a triage team sent to planet TE-IV to lend medical and humanitarian aid to the colonists there.
• 238412 - The mission on TE-IV goes south when a bomb explodes somewhere near the triage center. Lily's friend Quinn is badly hurt in the explosion, and as Lily watches helplessly as she fades away, she is swept into Quinn's mind and the elaborate dying/dream sequence therein. Lily manages to extract herself and get Quinn to safety, at which point the entire away team is evacuated. The crew departs the TE system, under orders to rendezvous with the USS Ronin and USS Ursa Major at Wheeler Colony.
• 238412 (late) - 238501 - The three ships' crews enjoy some leave time while their commanders discuss the next mission.
• 238501.22 - Hayden Reynolds proposes to Lily. She accepts, though the pairing comes as somewhat of a surprise to Quinn Reynolds and, as she's still dealing with the aftermath of TE-IV, not an entirely happy one.
• 238501 (late) - 238502 - While the three commanding officers and two more officers from each ship beam down to Wheeler, the three ships in orbit are swept through a spatial rip and thrown out to the galactic barrier. After recovering (mostly) from their temporary power losses, the ships have to deal with a rogue alien aboard the Independence and an oncoming alien fleet, as well as the question of getting back. Sidney Riley, the ship's usual FO, takes command and names Lily her first officer.
• 238502 - 238503 - Lily takes charge when the nonhumanoid alien decides to run amok. With the help of the Independence's own security, and a team sent over from the Ronin, the alien is discovered - hiding in the warp core. Quinn Reynolds ascertains that the alien requires plasma to "re-energize" itself, and Lily okays and oversees the power transfer. The alien, full revitalized, gives its thanks to the crew and sends all three ships home.
• 238504 - The Independence stops over at Deep Space 17 for some leave before heading out towards the Igloo Cluster for its next mission.
• 238505 (early) - Following Sidney Riley's promotion to commander and the decommissioning of the USS Ursa Major, the USS Tiger is commissioned as Riley's new command and Lily is assigned as her first officer. Part of the crews of both the Independence and the Ursa Major are assigned to the new vessel.
