It is then, when she thinks she will be able to sit back and enjoy the Excalibur, that an Admiral from the Black Tower arrives with orders to head out once again. However, when two of her officers are left behind and out of the briefing specifically, she takes offense. Eventually uncovering said admiral's mistakes now a decade or more old, her crew work to bring justice while mitigating as much of the cultural contamination as possible. | It is then, when she thinks she will be able to sit back and enjoy the Excalibur, that an Admiral from the Black Tower arrives with orders to head out once again.

==='''Time and Time Again'''=== | |||
Chasing the idea of a 'peaceful' mission, Kali finds herself sitting in a cell of an ancient Japanese prison. Dressed strangely, and confronted by historical figures, the few officers she is with work to figure out how they got there, and how they were going to get out. Successful talks seem to put them on the right track, at least until they are transported somehow to the construction of the Great Pyramids in Egypt. Heads spinning, it doesn't take too much more for the crew to discover they are once again the playthings of the Q CloQ. As before, Kali struggles to stand to the Q, not willing to give in to the childish demands. Unfortunately, they didn't get away unscathed this time either, as her tactical officer Lieutenant Silveira is regressed in age with yet undiscovered consequences. | |||
Considering it mostly a success, Kali steals away what time she can to [[Nicholotti Flights of Fancy|take Genkos aloft]] in her holodeck representation of her jet. | |||
==='''A Klingon and His Honor'''=== | |||
The ship seems to settle into a strange calm, save for the grumblings of the lower deckers who seem to be growing the divide between them and the officers, particularly the senior staff. Thus, when a request comes across Kali's desk for an event known as 'Taco Tuesday', she is quick to approve it and recommend that all of her officers take part. The problem with this doesn't reveal itself until the following day, when the crew picks up delegates for talks hosted by the Excalibur; all replicators on the ship only replicate tacos of one form or another, no matter what the request is. | |||
With engineering trying to figure out the problem, Kali orders the staff to make the best of it. Serving tacos to the delegates before the talks begin only triggers chaos as a sort of targeted poison is released and all three delegates get deathly ill. Despite the heroics of the crew to cure all of the delegates, and Kali for brokering a kind of peace between them all, the Klingon commander of the delegate's ship is out for blood. | |||
Luring Kali's first officer and chief intelligence officer away, he aims to destroy the Excalibur and reclaim his honor, underestimating the Starfleet officer's drive and capability. While not at all pretty, and fighting a number of errors and dire issues aboard the ship, the officers are found and things stabilize as an army of nanobots are destroyed. | |||
==='''An End and A Beginning'''=== | |||
Having only just returned to DS224 following their recovery, Kali is surprised to find new orders on her desk. Having to read it twice, it was the first time she'd have to struggle with her emotions this hard since her return from the Scar. The crew was to be split, with Addison being assigned her own ship. While incredibly proud of all her first officer had achieved, it meant breaking what had become the Excalibur family. | |||
Not willing to leave anything to chance, Kali requested new officers to fill in for the senior staff, all of whom she was sending to the Artemis with MacKenzie. In her mind, this not only set them up for success, but it made sure they were there to watch each other's back as they always had. Kali would be the odd one out, and while that made her quite sad, she knew that all endings were just beginnings for something else. [[Nicholotti Forward Unto The Future|Taking time to say goodbye]], and promising to stay connected with the man she had come to love, Kali watched the Artemis depart before [[Nicholotti Epilogue Mors Non Est Finis|stopping by the Resolution planet]]. | |||
Only then did she take the Excalibur - A from the Borderlands as ordered and made for the Tholian border. | |||

The medical field (Nursing) was something that she was pushed into, but found bland and difficult. Instead of pursuing such 'delicate' and timely things, she attained a Paramedic certification and found that she really was an adrenaline junkie. It was not long after that she signed up for the SMC. Specializing in Para jumping, battlefield medicine, and hand to hand combat, Kali truly has built an interesting set of skills to pull on throughout her Starfleet career. Although her parents expected better from her, Kali is content in the direction of her life at this time. | ||

Following the near death experience on the Resolution, Kali took an extended leave in order to return to Earth and heal mentally. While there, she returned to the Academy and completed her medical degree. As a doctor, she returned to service aboard the USS Eagle. As her career progressed, she later transferred into a command role when Captain Jaxx requested her to serve as his First Officer until he was reassigned to a new ship and she was left in command of Starbase 118 Ops. | Following the near death experience on the Resolution, Kali took an extended leave in order to return to Earth and heal mentally.

Her brother was the one who was expected to follow in the military traditions, but chose to pursue other interests instead. He currently speaks 16 languages fluently, which helped him achieve a civilian contract position with Starfleet. While they are separated by a large distance, he still talks to his sister often, teasing her and even teaching her some of the languages that he knows. As a result, Kali is also able to communicate on a very limited basis with a number of races without the aid of a translator. | ||

Despite her hard head, Kali still considers her family to be fairly close knit, though in a way that is different than most people would think. Her father rarely showed emotions other than disappointment and approval. He was a Marine's Marine through and through just like his father before him. Unlike her grandfather though, Kali's father Mikhail never approved of her learning to fly the old fighter plane or of her interest in the violent and masculine world of Marines. He is a unique man; torn between the equality of the modern times and the need to protect his wife and female child from the horrors of war, violence, pain, and suffering. It's not that he doesn't think women can do what men can, but he would rather Kali and her mother remain in a position where he could keep them safe. Of course Kali, with some coaching from her grandfather, found a way to respectfully disagree, ultimately ending in her enlistment in the Marines. | Despite her hard head, Kali still considers her family to be fairly close knit, though in a way that is different than most people would think.
