Their maiden voyage was to [[Meranuge IV]], where a meteor had hit the city of Tecra. Their relief efforts were cut short after the locals and telepathic crewmembers became aggressive under the effect of [[Da'allium]] dust. After the discovery of the cure and a shoreleave on the planet, Jovenan was promoted to Lieutenant JG. During a drill-turned-fight against pirates, Jovenan showed her skills in operating multiple different systems. She was then appointed the Assistant Chief Science Officer.

Jovenan and the team beamed down onto the planet's surface, finding the city largely destroyed. They met [[Impact (Artemis)#Jiah Kleebohn|Jiah Kleebohn]], Da’al rescue coordinator and their contact person. Jovenan scanned the air, not finding anything that could be dangerous to the team.<ref>[https://groups.google.com/g/sb118-artemis/c/jE5u4kpJUrM/ Just another geological curiosity?], Ens Jovenan, {{USS|Artemis|A}}, 240003.07</ref> They quickly noticed that Kleebohn was easily agitated, although Jovenan thought mostly about stress and lack of adueqate training. They started beaming down the relief aid and building up a distribution line.<ref>[https://groups.google.com/g/sb118-artemis/c/asMtsScVNWs The Pain of the Unknown Knife], Ens Jovenan, {{USS|Artemis|A}}, 240003.12</ref><ref name="Crowd Chaos">[https://groups.google.com/g/sb118-artemis/c/_knBvsGwOrc/ Crowd Chaos], Ens Jovenan, {{USS|Artemis|A}}, 240003.16</ref>

Having saved Silveira and trapped Adea, she scanned the air and observed that the dust had dissipated after they had beamed up, as she had expected based on the hypothesis that there was something on the planet that kept the usually unstable combound from breaking down. She ended the contamination procedures and let in a security team.<ref name="Knight to D7, checkmate!" /> She ordered the security team to stun Adea after she would lower the force field. Having stunned him, they took him to the sickbay, where Silveira and [[Kyle Morgan|Doctor Morgan]] were waiting.<ref>[https://groups.google.com/g/sb118-artemis/c/qB0zpjKR2EE/ They shot him down, bang bang], Ens.

After briefly meeting the new ensigns [[Savel]] and [[Flint Kader]], the team in sickbay learnt that the away teams had been in an explosion and had them beamed up. Jovenan had to face the Captain's questioning over the events that had occured to them, including Adea's aggression towards Kleebohn and Silveira and Jovenan's decision to beam them up and stun Adea.<ref>[https://groups.google.com/g/sb118-artemis/c/96K-obrFfsA/ Time to answer for our actions], Ens Jovenan, {{USS|Artemis|A}}, 240004.08</ref> Jovenan joined Jones and Lt [[Hallia Yellir]] in effort to emit a pulse that could undo the effects of the "[[Da'allium|Da’allium]]" dust over the city. Working silently avoiding detection by aggressive Da’al, they were nonetheless noticed and attacked. She and Jones shot at the Da’al in order to stun them, as did Ensign [[Luxa Lorana]], who had unexpectedly joined them when the shooting began. The pulse was released, causing a wave of nausea over the team.<ref>[https://groups.google.com/g/sb118-artemis/c/RNQaR6SjMe8 To denounce the evils (of truth and love!)], Ens Jovenan, {{USS|Artemis|A}}, 240004.13</ref> The pulse worked, and the team left the planet.<ref>[https://groups.google.com/g/sb118-artemis/c/UJ_vfmz-uuI/ Sunshine], Ens Jovenan, 240004.16</ref>

She invited the new Ensigns Savel, Kader and Lorana to join her for a camping trip to La'kso canyon on Meranuge IV. The canyon runs through a deposit of kelbonite, which can block transporter signal.<ref>[https://groups.google.com/g/sb118-artemis/c/-8kBvODpiLI/ Lower decks venture], Ens Jovenan, {{USS|Artemis|A}}, 240004.19</ref> Unknown to the other ensigns, she had planned the trip with intention to study a potential hiding place of the people who had moved the meteor to strike the city of Tecra.<ref name="My mission, should I choose to accept it… /> They got themselves the shuttlepod ''[[Artemis Auxiliary Craft#Two Type-18 Shuttlepods|Perseus]]'', which they found cramped but sufficient for them.<ref>[https://groups.google.com/g/sb118-artemis/c/wNmVBIWxXzk/ Size might not matter], Ens Jovenan, {{USS|Artemis|A}}, 240004.24</ref> They landed near the canyon and starter their hiking trip with telling stories to one another.<ref>[https://groups.google.com/g/sb118-artemis/c/pUqblL-98qA/ Walks to walk and stories to tell], Ens Jovenan, {{USS|Artemis|A}}, 240004.27</ref><ref>[https://groups.google.com/g/sb118-artemis/c/Wlk6VC42vBg/ If it looks like a prey...], Ens Jovenan, {{USS|Artemis|A}}, 240004.28</ref> Their arrival was observed from afar by two Da'al, who suspected the ensigns were there to investigate.<ref>[https://groups.google.com/g/sb118-artemis/c/DqYYMKGWRRc/ Suspicious visitors], Rennol & Kireeh, {{USS|Artemis|A}}, 240004.28</ref> The Da'al kept observing them from a hiding place, but were spotted by Lorana.

They took some distance from the ''Berlin'' and prepared for a new attack. Jovenan deviced a plan, based on a graviton pulse, that could hide them right after their attack in order to avoid ''Berlin'''s counterattack.<ref>[https://groups.google.com/g/sb118-artemis/c/mSdBaSDHFwQ Playing with plasma because fire isn’t hot enough], LtJG Jovenan, {{USS|Artemis|A}}, 240006.17</ref> However, their decision to fire the plasma pockets released more ignited plasma than intended and was dangerous for ''Artemis'' as well, and the graviton pulse only managed to protect them from the plasma without covering them from the ''Berlin''.<ref>[https://groups.google.com/g/sb118-artemis/c/a5mk4Ca9lWM Eye of a fire storm], LtJG Jovenan, {{USS|Artemis|A}}, 240006.20</ref>

Soon, the crew began to suspect something was wrong. MacKenzie asked the bridge crew to find out if some of the damage the ''Artemis'' had sustained was real instead of merely simulated, and Jovenan could confirm that was indeed the case.<ref>[https://groups.google.com/g/sb118-artemis/c/WC5IEwEgqZE/ When the fun turns to tears], LtJG Jovenan, {{USS|Artemis|A}}, 240006.08</ref> The crew found out they had been boarded in secrecy by a hostile party, and they terminated the drill. However, multiple systems were offline, and some decks were filled with anaesthetic gas. In a situation briefing an hour later, Jovenan was ordered to find out the way to remove the gas, working together with a new ensign, Doctor [[Gila Sadar]].<ref>[https://groups.google.com/g/sb118-artemis/c/RflVHTTNbuM/ Enemy within the mist], LtJG Jovenan, {{USS|Artemis|A}}, 240006.28</ref> Their plan was to move the anaesthetic gas to a smaller area by creating an aircurrent within the corridors and turbolift shafts, and then expose the gas to Naloxone, which would render it harmless for a while.<ref>[https://groups.google.com/g/sb118-artemis/c/c0QDajtIbXQ/ Well planned is half done, but the rest is just as important], LtJG Jovenan, {{USS|Artemis|A}}, 240007.02</ref>

Jovenan and Sadar were joined by MacKenzie and Lt Commander [[Yogan Yalu]]. The four officers travelled in the Jefferies Tubes, first to the subprocessor that controlled the environment on deck 5, and then moving downwards, deck by deck. It was Jovenan's duty to interface witht the subprocessor and program it to move the gas to the right direction. Meanwhile, Sadar discovered the gas was a mix of different chemicals, including [[A - F (chemical & particles)#Anesthizine|Anesthizine]] and [[A - F (chemical & particles)#Felicium|Felicium]], which made combating them more difficult.<ref>[https://groups.google.com/g/sb118-artemis/c/h5GGt1RYhYw Let it flow], LtJG Jovenan, {{USS|Artemis|A}}, 240007.05</ref> They cleared the decks 5-7 until they reached the sickbay. There, they met the [[Holographic Medical Muppet Teller]], their modified [[Emergency Medical Hologram]], and learnt that Dakora and his team had just been there but had left to fight the boarders on a lower deck. The four officers worked on the gas removal and the antidote, but left the sickbay crew to finish it while they were needed on the bridge.<ref>[https://groups.google.com/g/sb118-artemis/c/2ngjrgmQNjk What is that and where can I get one?], LtJG Jovenan, {{USS|Artemis|A}}, 240007.07</ref><ref>[https://groups.google.com/g/sb118-artemis/c/soxAbjytGfY Should have taken more biochemistry classes], LtJG Jovenan, {{USS|Artemis|A}}, 240007.10</ref><ref name="Let's safe the day">[https://groups.google.com/g/sb118-artemis/c/i5Byrx4F9RA Let's safe the day], LtJG Jovenan, {{USS|Artemis|A}}, 240007.11</ref>

''The mission is mostly played with alternate characters. See [[Jovenan (alternate)]] for details.''

The Captain ordered Jovenan to cooperate with Doctor Genkos Adea to try and find the ending for the message. She went to the Sickbay trying to find him in his office, but was informed by Doctor Gila Sadar that Adea hasn't been there that day. After being asked, Sadar told that Adea hasn't been doing his normal shifts and has appeared busy since the arrival of the ''Desdemona''. Jovenan began to suspect that Adea's odd behaviour might be ''Desdemona'''s crew's doing, and she informed Sadar of the possible attack.<ref>[https://groups.google.com/g/sb118-artemis/c/ze8zD6wcI6A/ Somebody’s playing truant], LtJG Jovenan, {{USS|Artemis|A}}, 240011.04</ref><ref>[https://groups.google.com/g/sb118-artemis/c/ZHzwl3U76Ug/ Paranoid rambling], LtJG Jovenan, {{USS|Artemis|A}}, 240011.05</ref> They began to investigate Adea's odd behaviour and concluded that he might have been replaced by his counterpart. They believed the real Adea might be held in his quarters, and decided to enter there to find out.<ref>[https://groups.google.com/g/sb118-artemis/c/Lhy5dY6TA9Q/ Nobody trusts a panicking leader], LtJG Jovenan, {{USS|Artemis|A}}, 240011.08</ref> They found Adea bound and gagged in his closet, alive and in relatively good condition.<ref>[https://groups.google.com/g/sb118-artemis/c/mhVe2iJYK20/ Out of the closet], LtJG Jovenan, {{USS|Artemis|A}}, 240011.12</ref>

After freed Adea had joined Jovenan and Sadar, they learnt through the communications system that the crew of the ''Desdemona'' were claiming to have taken over all essential locations on the ship. Adea began to plan attacking the bridge with Jovenan and Sadar, who reluctantly accepted his orders.<ref>[https://groups.google.com/g/sb118-artemis/c/w0M76NUMAaE/ Leaving the closet to join the fight], LtJG Jovenan, {{USS|Artemis|A}}, 240011.13</ref> Before just the three of them could leave for the bridge, they were contacted by Captain MacKenzie, who joined them together with Lt Silveira. The larger group planned that some of them would pretend to be their counterparts and others would be "captives", so that they could all go to the bridge without immediate resistance from the ''Desdemona'' crewmembers occupying it. Silveira pleaded them to fast so that he could go and rescue the alternate Jovenan.<ref>[https://groups.google.com/g/sb118-artemis/c/F2FMye_Qzoc/ Catching up], LtJG Jovenan, {{USS|Artemis|A}}, 240011.16</ref> Jovenan learnt that Silveira and her counterpart had started a romance, and was initially weirded out by it and refused to believe her counterpart was sincere in that relationship. She also worried how this might affect her colleagial relationship with Silveira.<ref name="Only people who are capable of loving">[https://groups.google.com/g/sb118-artemis/c/R6-ajX6kdSg/ "Only people who are capable of loving strongly can also suffer great sorrow" -Tolstoy], LtJG Jovenan, {{USS|Artemis|A}}, 240011.19</ref>

The team proceded with their plan. Jovenan, Adea and Sadar played the roles of their counterparts while MacKenzie and Silveira pretended to be their captives. The team was allowed to the bridge, where they found Silveira's counterpart [[Vitor Olivera]], Ensign Flint Kader in role of his counterpart, and another ''Desdemona'' crewmember. Olivera initially fell for their ruse, but then contacted [[Addison MacKenzie (alternate)|Colonel MacKenzie]], the Captain's counterpart, asking if Jovenan's counterpart wasn't in her team. The team learnt that Mediator Jovenan had died after betraying the ''Desdemona'' crew. At that point, Jovenan realised she had been wrong on her counterpart. Meanwhile, Silveira became rageous and attacked his counterpart. Their ruse discovered, the team took over the bridge after a brief fight. Silveira planned to kill his counterpart, but they were interrupted by an approaching vessel and they took their stations. Kader informed it was nothing to worry about, and soon their deflector fired an energy burst and the approaching vessel, a Shint ship, disappeared, presumedly back to their universe. While she didn't know how Kader had acquired this information, he told them how they could send the ''Desdemona'' back to their universe. Jovenan however learnt that the Hazardous Materials Lab had been breached, a scientist working there killed and the prismagons stolen. Before they could do much more, Ensign Savel informed them that Hiro Jones had been severely injured in an explosion in the Sickbay.<ref name="Only people who are capable of loving" /> This information nearly devastated Jovenan, and Doctor Adea left the bridge to help him.<ref name="Sad days feed themselves">[https://groups.google.com/g/sb118-artemis/c/6Li2l5fUCKg/ Sad days feed themselves], LtJG Jovenan, {{USS|Artemis|A}}, 240011.21</ref>

Jovena is generally shy, although she has grown bolder over the time in Starfleet. Her bad experiences after moving out of her homeworld made her avoid touching other people and being too close with anyone, easily blaming herself of violating others' personal area. Even after her graduation from the Academy, Jovenan was skittish about senior officers. While her "fear" of them has diminshed as she has become more familiar with the crew and she has risen in ranks, she still tends to be formal around them.

For cultural and health reasons, Jovenan eats typically vegan food. She isn't opposed to eating meat or other animal-based food, but won't do so without a reason.

Jovenan is a follower of the Edo religion. Since the Edo God is a physical, albeit transdimensional, entity, she and the most Edo consider them a part of the reality and not as much something that needs to be believed in. Jovenan has a religious symbol in her quarters, and she prays occassionally.

While on service, Jovenan typically wears the skant variant of the ''Artemis'' standard sciences division uniform. She opted to wear the skant variant due to comfort and familiarity to the Edo clothing, despite having suppressed her Edo habits in public. If needed in cooler environments, she also has the basic version of the uniform, in addition to the thermal layers provided my Doctor Adea when she first joined the ''Excalibur''. She typically wears her hair tied to a ponytail or similar style with a blue hair tie.
