Lily and Hayden moved to Starbase 118, and Lily took up a job as diplomatic attaché to the region in the hope that it would be primarily a desk job. Although it was, ostensibly, it was barely a few weeks after she'd given birth to [[Ventu, Rhys|her son]] that she was ordered back to duty to deal with a major event, a mysterious Klingon pandemic and the visitation of a Klingon opera company. When an opera star was murdered, Quinn was arrested for the crime and Lily and Hayden were both part of the team that went to rescue her. | Lily and Hayden moved to Starbase 118, and Lily took up a job as diplomatic attaché to the region in the hope that it would be primarily a desk job.

=====Captain Robin Phoenix===== | |||
"''No one can expect you to be immortal, or untouchable. They - we - don't want a god. We want someone who will lead us well, someone we can trust, someone who will keep us as safe.

===Lily's Quotes=== | |||
"''I needed closure. It's the hardest thing to overcome ... I'm sure you remember, learning that in grief counseling ... "MIA" is much harder to deal with than a real body. Is she alive? Is she dead? At what point do I stop wishing that she'll come home? But she came back. She's alive! ...And I'm okay now.''" | |||
: (Lily about her mother, to Robin Phoenix, May 2383) | |||
"''I never even saw myself leaving the Victory, but since it was decommissioned, I've been on three different ships in less than a year. How do I make my mark? How do I convince anyone that I'm serious about what I do? Hell, what ''is'' it that I do? My position changes so much that I'm not even sure anymore.''" | |||
: (September 2384) | |||
"''The office is yours now, so don't be afraid to do with it as you will. Within reason, of course. If I hear you've set it on fire or anything, I'm going to come back and beat you senseless.''" | |||
: (Lily to new counselor Scott, May 2385) | |||
"''I kept looking at that [casualty] list and asking myself, what would be better? That this was our first mission, and I didn't know them? Or that we'd lost them all after months or years of being together?''" | |||
(August 2385) | |||
"''It is because of Starfleet and the Federation's wise investments in research, colonization, and alliances with many different (beat) "alien" cultures, that we are able to continue the broad scope of our effort. Our quadrant of the galaxy has benefited more from mutual cooperation than any single military empire or religious doctrine could ever achieve through force or indoctrination.''" | |||
: (Lily to an Academy class, September 2385) | |||
"''Captain, I believe you have working sensors, yes? Working, I should point out, along with most of the other systems aboard your charming vessel, and very much unlike this station. Well, I'd suggest using your working sensors to scan for the large starship bearing down on yours at the moment. It should be easy to spot: It's the one with the weapons aimed directly at your bridge.''" | |||
: (Lily to an invading ship, October 2385) | |||
"''I'm not so much 'learning as I go' as I am just flying smack into whatever-the-hell-happens-next.''" | |||
: (November 2385) | |||
"''Mystery, intrigue, politics - they ought to just stay in books, where they belong.''" | |||
: (December 2385) | |||
"''But that's where we're different. Today, I'm still her friend, but you've dishonored the very idea of 'friendship.'''" | |||
: (Lily to a Klingon about a mutual friend, March 2386) | |||
===Quotes About Lily=== | |||
"''Rarely have I met a counselor with such dedication, with such potential and with such a hard head.''" | |||
: (from Captain Robin Phoenix, January 2383) | |||
"''If they can take a former hothead rebel like me, and turn me into diplomat, they can work wonders with you.''" | |||
: (from Ambassador Rhys, December 2385) | |||
"''I think we may have avoided an interstellar incident thanks to your efforts.''" | |||
: (from Starbase 118 XO Delinda Sharee, April 2386) | |||
"''Whilst aboard the USS Tiger Lily Ventu led crew members from some excellent missions. Her role as Starfleet Diplomatic Corps' General Envoy on Starbase 118 was foretold through her encounter with the Avora Network ... She was the driving-force behind this first contact and Captain Sidney Riley wrote a strong recommendation stating that Lieutenant Commander Ventu should be recognized for her efforts there. On the Starbase, Lieutenant Commander Ventu has taken on difficult task of heading up the newly created department and position and has created something truly interesting and solid. She is one of the fleet's most talented officers and adds a lot to every mission and we recognize this by rewarding her The Order of StarFleet Merit and Achievement, First Class.''" | |||
