In between jobs, Cayden found herself on Starbase 118 for a short period of time during which she learned of the Victory. She wasn't sure if she had been looking for it, or if it had just appeared, but she stopped when her eye caught the name. Jaxx. Acting captain of the Victory. With a quick smile, she decided to find a way aboard. Applying for a civilian position, she was quickly accepted and sent to meet with them. Taking only a few things with her, she felt a renewed fervor. She needed to say something, and it was already way past due.

With a quick smile, she decided to find a way aboard. Applying for a civilian position, she was quickly accepted and sent to meet with them. Taking only a few things with her, she felt a renewed fervor. She needed to say something, and it was already way past due.
Though unsure of herself in the first few days of the assignment on the Victory, Cayden soon settles into her job as the owner and operator of 'The Retreat'; the Victory's lounge and relaxation spot for many of the officers aboard the ship. Throughout her time there, she offers good food and friendship, along with an open ear to those who just needed to talk. As time goes on, she finds herself close to many of the members of the senior staff, but one more than the others. Following a short trip to Luna with a group of officers, Cayden finds herself pulled towards one of them; the Chief of Security, Liam Frost.
The crew finds themselves soon stationed on Starbase 118, where Cayden makes plans to open up a new version of The Retreat in a small area of the commercial sector near a window to the outside realm of space. The restaurant is short lived, however, as Cayden finds out Liam will have to leave for the USS Apollo shortly after shore leave on Echevarria. To his surprise, she wholly agrees on following him to the Apollo, not knowing that Starfleet Command wants her there.
En route to her new home, currently docked at Utopia Planitia, Cayden encounters a face from the symbiont's past. The current Captain of the USS Alabama, and a former XO of Alaryc Adyr, tells Cayden of Starfleet's request for her to serve as a civilian advisor about the Apollo. Captain Alaryc Adyr spent many years within the Typhon Expanse aboard his own command and Starfleet feels that it would be important to have his memories available to the crew of the Apollo. Because the Expanse is so strange and somewhat deadly, Cayden reluctantly agrees.
As part of the deal, Starfleet agrees to remove the block that kept sensitive command level information from the current host so that all of Alaryc's memories are available as needed. Cayden experiences the resurfacing of memories as if she had been just joined, though most of these memories came from Alaryc's time aboard starships. Some memories are good, but many of them give Cayden a sense of both urgency as well as the feeling of being chased by shadows.
Following her fundamental role in resolving the crisis with the Borg scout ship, Captain Jaxx tells Cayden she has been recommissioned as a full Lieutenant in Starfleet. She is in no position to refuse, and Jaxx doesn't take no for an answer, so she reluctantly agrees to the new position for her same role. Struggling with the newness of the technology around her, she struggles to find her place in the modern Starfleet world.
