He proved to be able to pass the years, having very good scores on sciences, biological and others, but found difficult history and legislation. He did some physical competitions, winning no one, but being at top of them. Marcus managed to finish his studies and finished his academy years, passing the last exam with Commander Greene and Lt. Cmder. Torin Jamar.

He's posted to the new USS ATLANTIS, Intrepid class. After a few missions on this ship, including the first real charting of space behind the Jenatris cloud, Atlantis was called back to DS17 after a diplomatic crisis and he's transferred to the USS COLUMBIA under command of Captain Mal Avatar.

On his first mission on the Columbia they undergo a diplomatic mission with a species named Deloreans, a reptilian species. After some problems involving the kidnap of the captain and others, and facing a civil war, they finally managed to exit there without compromising the Federation in the war. Dickens helped in discovering a romulan cloaked ship that was behind the war in an attempt to get Delorea in the empire and have a post inside Federation space. On Delorea they find a device, not from the planet that, after asking Delorea government, they get to study.

The studies on the data they sent to R&D of the Federation they used it to try a new propulsion system that will send them very far away in a few minutes, many times more faster than warp drive. However a problem with the device during the experiment send the to a unknown planet where they survived, finding a complex. After trying to use it to cover from strong lightnings from outside Dickens found himself possessed by a strange entity, a conscience of one alien named Kelrod and later by Tantalus, leader and self claimed emperor of Ambrosia.

However after discovering the Columbia wasn't destroyed, the crew managed to beam aboard with the help of the exo-comps and there Tantalus tried to take Puhvai, a native of the planet, for his plans but commander Moranta and Ramirez frustrated the plan and eliminated Tantalus with a Device taken from Ambrosia. Then they're assigned to SB118, Marcus taking the HCO post.

There they've to face with a murder almost the same day they took charge of the station after it's recovery from the Romulans and he was able to pilot the USS ARROW in a mission to explore an strage asteroid travelling at warp. After managing to enter it's warp shell and discovering that the asteroid was mostly artificial and with a Genesis device inside, they achieved to stop the asteroid in a safe place and return to SB118 where he received another transfer, this time to the Independence. Unfortunately when they were tranfered the Independence was already destroyed by the Gorn in the Itahassa region, so he served on DS 17 until the arrival of the USS INDEPENDENCE-A, Prometheus class under command of Rear Admiral Jessa Anassasi.

On their first mission they faced a biomechanoid that, in the appearance of a Ferengi probe was found near DS17. That absorbed an F-150 that was tractoring it and then jumped to 3A9 system where it started the construction of an object near the sun and another thing next to a colonized planet by the Tzenkethi. The biomechanoid proved to be intelligent and finally, when the crew of the Independence managed to stop the construction of the object that was threatening the sun of the system it dissapeared by unkonwn technology. It's believed that the biomechanoid had returned to it's home.

On the next mission Marcus received a hit in the head when the ship rocked violently and was unconscious. There, Lt. Satscher, the current CMO, noticed that something wasin dickens mind, aside from himself. She then confessed him that she's in love with him and Dickens tell her that he's too feeling attracted by her. At that moment, both were transferred from the Independence to the USS TIGER, under the command of Commander Sidney Riley. Little time was left for romanticism as they faced a new danger. After answering a distress call by the Contellationites, they faced a race named the reapers that seemed to have some problems after attacking the Constellationites themselves. Commander Riley initiated a first contact situation on the Tiger, but the representants of the Reapers attacked the commander and other officers as first strike of a boarding party to take the Tiger. They disables some systems and nearly took control of engineering disabling shields and bringing more Reapers on board. Marcus couldn't do nothing to prevent that and they ended even without internal communications and he thought about using a shuttle to end the outer interference and serve as a relay to internal communications. When the Tiger crew was retaking the ship from the inside he faced some Reaper shuttles that approached the Tiger, disabled one and pulled it out of transporter range. A few moments later, they began to flicker in and out of existence until they finally vanished. The Tiger returned to DS17 with more than a quarter of the crew dead and major repairs to be done. After this he was earned the rank of LIEUTENANT COMMANDER in stardate 238509.02
