[[File:SkyBlake.jpg|thumb|200px|[[Sky Blake]], Zhou's friend]] | |||
In 2390, he was posted to the {{USS|Veritas}} as first officer. The ship was assigned in 2391 to [[Operation Safe Harbor]], Starfleet's anti-piracy effort. Later that year, he recruited [[Sky Blake]] while on Onara to join him and ''Veritas'' to combat the piracy and drug trade that plagued the area near the [[Colonial Coalition]]. | |||
Following the death of his captain [[Rosa Carrero]] in 2393, he was reassigned from ''Veritas'' to command the Starfleet support annex on [[Esperance]], the ship's homeport and Starfleet's main installation in the [[Shoals]], and Blake took on his previous position of first officer. | |||
In 2395, Zhou was assigned his first command of the {{c|Norway}} {{USS|Montreal}} and asked Blake to join him as his first officer. However, he was injured in late 2395, and Commander [[Mei'konda]] was reassigned as CO of the ''Montreal'' from Veritas. After his recover, he subsequently resumed command of the support annex on Esperance. | |||
In late 2397, he dropped in on Blake's quarters to congratulate her on her recent promotion to commander, inform her of the recent disappearance of [[Kallo Ver]], and talk to her about what the two of them were planning to do once their tours of duty in the Shoals finished in 2398. Zhou was feeling restless, and he was hoping his old friend could help him. | |||
