 At first, it was a struggle for Kali to get back into the groove of things, especially with the new job and title of Ambassador. Thankfully, she ended up on a tiny ship, the Blackwell, where she could do some real good. Instead of the difficulties she'd faced on 118, where there were meetings after meetings, and a massive diplomatic department, she suddenly found herself on the edge of what was and what might have been. In the thick of things, she might have still been behind a desk, but she was very much knee deep in the middle of things. As she began her journey, [[Nicholotti The Path To The Stars|she reflected on the path]] that brought her there.
-Just when she thought she had settled in, changes were coming. In the shadow of the events on Arndall and her work brokering a peace that only came in the wake of an invasion of historical horrors, Kali wondered if she would ever really find her footing. Lost in the transition, and doing what she could to help find a missing away team from the confines of the diplomatic suites, it wasn't until most of the crew was reassigned to the [[USS Columbia]] that she started making headway. Assigned to the Saggitarius Reach, far from Earth, but close to the galactic barrier, the crew mostly wondered what effect the barrier would have on them. Kali took a special interest, getting lost in the view as the ship moved towards its newest area of operations.

-In the course of the year since Kali took command of the USS Resolution, she somehow managed to find her footing. With the memories of her past having resurfaced, the nightmares of the trials she had been through also resurfaced with alarming clarity. To avoid them, she threw herself into work, spending more time than necessary in her ready room or on the bridge. She put all she could into things until something snapped. Exasperated by the stress and isolation she had subjected herself to, Kali collapsed on the bridge making a tense situation worse for her crew. Emergency surgery was able to save her from the anerysm in her brain, but the cause and the continuing uncounsious state remained troubling.

-Eventually she was transferred to a hospital on Vulcan, where a theoretical treatement was used and ended up being successful in bringing Kali back from death's doorstep once more. Still, Command deemed her unfit for command until other tests could prove otherwise, and the Resolution left her behind. Ultimately, she passed everything thrown at her and was restored to duty.

-It was upon her return that she began finally pushing past the self-imposed isolation she had previously suffered.

+==='''Broken Bow'''===
+Remnant issues from her being rebuilt by the time-river entities on the other side of the Scar continue to surface, but none so dramatic as the one discovered as a result of the interference of CloQ and the time loop. Following the Resolution's eventual escape from the 'test' imposed by the Q, Kali began experiencing time jumps, taking her to moments in the past aboard the USS Excalibur around the time of her death. The problem was that not all of the moments she was witnessing were moments that she had witnessed to begin with, including the entirety of the court martial of Lieutenant Vitor Silveira, as well as her own funeral. With the result of each jump being her falling, running into, or otherwise forcefully returning to her own time, the physical toll was showing in the form of bruises and bumps all over her body as she tried to figure out what to do about it. Trying to make good for the crew, she managed to fulfill her role at the awards ceremony on Bajor, but gave herself up to Addison and Genkos after experiencing a jump in the middle of the ceremony.
+Once aboard the Excalibur, Kali is turned over to Addison for care, confined within a forcefield to prevent further time-jumps from taking her into bulkheads and out of the area, and says her goodbyes to the man she has clearly built a connection with. Though weak, the [[SIM:Nicholotti_(Genkos_Adea)_Before_You_Sleep|moments shared as Genkos leaves to take command of the Resolution]] give Kali something very real to fight to return to as she considers the fact that she is falling once more. Only this time, the depth, the colors, the sheer magnitude of it all brought on by his telepathy is unlike anything she's experienced.
+==='''A Brave New World'''===
+With Kali incapacitated and under the care of MacKenzie on the DS224, the crew of the Resolution heads to Rinascita station to follow up on a distress call and a wounded doctor who made the call. A plot is uncovered that involves a Genesis device, and unknown to anyone, a group of Suliban have infiltrated the station's team to steal it. The arrival of the Resolution prevents this, so the next best plan is put into motion, leaving the device to the mercy of one of the last remaining non-Suliban members of the team. Somehow it is activated just before it is transported over to the Resolution, and without recourse or ability to shut it down, an all hand evacuation is called while a very small skeleton crew remains behind to ensure the ship makes it to an asteroid where it's detonation would not harm life or balance already in place.
+Meanwhile, Kali, having been cured of her time jumping issue by MacKenzie, travels with her and Gnaxac to rendezvous with the Resolution and arrives just in time to see it crash into an asteroid.The resulting inquiry would ultimately find no fault on the part of Adea, his acting first officer Yalu, or another player in the events of the day, Silveira, however, the Resolution remains lost and the crew is sent to 224 to away reassignment.
+==='''The Sword in the Stone'''===
+Coming to terms with the idea that the Resolution is gone, Kali connects with loved ones and old friends as they await reassignment. Ultimately, that comes in the form of the familiar USS Excalibur and the crew is kept together as they are transferred as a group to the new ship. Sent immediately out to investigate a strange source of radiation, Kali barely has time to get used to her new shared quarters with Genkos when they suddenly find themselves in bodies that don't belong to themselves. Trying to lead the crew from the body of their chief science officer, Kali ultimately helps deliver decades old spheres to a new star system where the consciousness within is able to live and thrive.
+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.
+==='''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. [[SIM: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 [[SIM: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.

+Kalianna's first attempt at a career was to follow in her mothers footsteps. 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.

+Kali is closer to her older brother than she is to her parents. Her strong headed attitude has much to do with this. 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.

 '''[[Tressa]]''' - Kali pulled Tressa from the wreckage of a shuttle craft after a [[Victory Remote Control|mission that resulted in a firefight with multiple Romulan ships]]. After multiple surgeries, Kali was able to stabilize the Gideon and she stuck by her throughout the course of recovery. After so much time spent together, the two have forged a close friendship. Kali was named Godmother of the twins belonging to her and Jaxx. Kali delivered the twins, McKenzie Kalianna and Mykel Hunter on the [[USS Victory]] on 238901.29 at 0434 via C-Section.
-'''[[Hunt, Guy|Guy Hunt]]''' - Friend and long time co-worker, Hunt and Kali started off together as fresh Ensigns on the [[USS Resolution]] and have become friends over the time they have been assigned to the same ship together. Hunt was killed in the [[Starbase 118 Insurrection Now|terrorist attacks on Starbase 118]] in the latter part of 2388.

 '''[[Daniels, Colt|Colt Daniels]]''' - Colt and Kali became fast friends shortly after he had been assigned to Starbase 118. After the massive loss of Jaxx and the stress of taking on a new command, both feel as if they are standing on the edge of what is 'friends' and [[Nicholotti A Moment to Breathe|what may lie beyond]]. In the two days that followed, they are forced to address what might be in the face of [[Nicholotti The Bane of Civilization, Repeating|rumors flying around the station]]. These feelings are finally realized when the two get a moment to themselves in the holodeck, after [[Nicholotti Come Fly with Me|Kali takes Colt on a ride]] in the holographic representation of her F-18 Hornet. The relationship grew up until Colt is reassigned and the two decide to part rather than to attempt a long distance relationship. His return to the station catches her unprepared and, having already grieved for what they had lost, unwilling to really address it. Eventually it would come into the open, but for now, Colt keeps his thoughts of the past to himself. [[Nicholotti To Dream In The City Of Sorrows|Colt is critically injured]] protecting Kali's cloned 'twin' during an assassination attempt. He was not aware of the clone's existence and believed himself to be protecting Kali herself.

 '''[[Cavann, B'Sara|B'Sara Cavann]]''' - Daughter of David Cody, Kali was desperate to make a good first impression on the other part of the 'package' that David had spoken of in the Recovery room the night they spent there together. [[Nicholotti Family Matters|Things didn't quite go as planned]], but eventually Kali found some kind of footing and began to build towards a potentially complete family. With the second disappearance of her father, who had officially adopted her, B'Sara has disappeared from 118 as well. Her current location is unknown.
+'''[[Vitor Silveira]]''' - Vitor connected with Kali during his first assignment as a fresh faced Ensign out of the Academy on Ops when he walked into a mess during the battle against the shadow creatures. His humor and attention to the small details helped to turn the tide of the day and provide the Captain with subtle support that became a tradition in the form of candy. Later, aboard the Excalibur, he devised the plan that Kali later executed, closing the space-time rift and saving the sector, but dooming herself to death. He was court martialed for his part in the plan, but found not guilty. Thankfully, [[SIM:Nicholotti Tangled Souls|second chances are something the universe sometimes allows]] and he was granted one when Kali returned.
 '''[[Jones, Vincent|Vincent Jones]]''' - Vincent was one of the original members of the Bravo Fireteam, the small team of Marines Kali was placed in command of during her first assignment. While they have served together for a long time, they often get reassigned to different places, especially following Kali's death in the Scar. Somehow he always finds his way back to her, now serving as the NCO leader of her personal ambassadorial security team. He's always had feelings for Kali, but Kali's stance on dating Marines has always prevented him from getting any closer. Still, she considers him her closest friend confidant.
+'''[[Adea, Genkos|Genkos Adea]]''' - Second officer and CMO of the Resolution, Kali's relationship with the Betazoid began innocently enough, but took an unexpected turn after an intimate dance at an early awards ceremony not long after the launch of the ship. It would take nearly a year and multiple near-death experiences for Kali to finally allow the walls to come down far enough to let him in. What will come of that connection remains to be seen, but the raw emotions have begun to lay bare and the connections seem undeniable.
+Over the months to follow, the two have become much closer, cohabitating and living with their two dogs, Nova and Toto. Despite the trials of being Starfleet command officers, they have forged a family life on their own terms. Though crushed at the idea of day to day life without him, Kali and Kos have vowed to make a long distance relationship work when he is assigned to the USS Artemis as first officer.
+'''[[Addison MacKenzie]]''' - First officer of the USS Resolution and friend. Kali and Addison have worked together long enough to build not only a professional relationship, but what Kali would consider a solid friendship as well. It was with great pride that Kali shared orders from Starfleet Command for her Executive Officer to take her own command.
