The medical relief mission to TE-IV left a permanent impression on the young engineer; caught in the explosion of a sabotaged generator, Quinn came truly close to death. The experience left her with some serious scars; physical, in the form of constant pain in her left leg and mental, as she is subsequently plagued with nightmares. She also found that her cousin was intending to marry Lily Ventu and struggled to deal with the unexpected and uncharacteristic jealousy that accompanied the discovery.

Shortly before the Independence was pulled the Galactic Barrier, Quinn found herself thrust into a teaching role as a tactical officer with no formal engineering training was assigned as Assistant Chief Engineer. It was not a position she was particularly comfortable with and whenever possible, she delegated it to other crew members. During their time at the Galactic Barrier, Quinn was frustrated with her own unusually short temper, the nightmares still present and including flashbacks from the battle where she commanded the Yellowknife.

The subsequent scouting mission into the Igloo Cluster revealed that Quinn had been replaced for some time by a Breen-engineered imposter; transported to the Skiptrace, the imposter was unable to return to the Independence as the real Quinn had managed to effect an escape from the Breen ship on which she was being held captive.  Quinn's return to the Independence was less than happy, as she discovered that both Lily and Hayden were gone, and that with his promotion to First Officer, David appeared to have chosen his career over her.  Feeling alone, abandoned and lost, she decided to request a transfer away from the Independence and the memories it held.

[[Image:Nav-spacedock.jpg|thumb|Starbase 118]]Arriving at the Starbase held several trials for Quinn; not least of which was adjusting to her new assignment in Intelligence.  Fortunately for her, the first series of events she was involved with didn't require the expertise of an Intel Officer and she was able to operate closer to her comfort zone.  The biggest challenge she faced was dealing with her own turbulent emotions following her abrupt departure from the Independence and the sudden reappearance of Walter Brunsig, with whom she had lost contact with since the Triumphant; primarily because he had not returned any of her messages.  After an initially frosty reception, the pair began to slowly rebuild their friendship.  Quinn was also delighted to find that the person she considers her best friend, Lily Ventu, had also been reassigned to the station - though the fact that Lily was pregnant did come as something of a shock.

She later found herself a guest in the Klingon prison of Rura Penthe after a black operation that went wrong; a situation she was wholly unprepared to deal with.  It culminated in her being forced to take the life of one of the other prisoners and nearly losing her own as a result of his mate's desire for vengeance.  The whole series of events left a deep mark on her psyche that she has yet to properly deal with.

Before she had a chance to fully recuperate from either the physical or mental stresses of her ordeal in the Klingon prison, Quinn was ordered to the USS Prospero to take part a tactical exercise.  The war games took an unexpected turn when the uninhabited system turned out to have a large and expertly concealed population hidden in one of the gas giants.  The Prospero was attacked, the crew imprisoned and the forced telepathic contact between the crew and several of the aliens resulted in heightened psionic abilities amongst those already possessing them - including Quinn.  Without any form of control over her newly unleashed empathy, her condition began to rapidly deteriorate and only a hastily arranged telepathic Zhian'tara ritual, involving [[Tam, Kael|Kael Tam]], [[Reynolds, Hayden|Hayden Reynolds]] and [[Ventu, Lily|Lily Ventu]] was able to give her some relief.  More formal training followed during shore leave on the planet Vulcan.

There is little in this period of Quinn's life that she is free to talk about. Few people are aware that [[Brunsig, Walter|Walter Brunsig]] was killed in action under her command, even fewer know that she knowingly ordered him to his death to save the ship.


Struggling to coherently piece together the rational knowledge that she did what was needed to save her ship, and the guilt that accompanied sentencing the man she loved to a certain death, Quinn stepped away from command and fully returned to the Intelligence fold.
