Though the crew had just been through quite the ordeal, they took command of the station the next day. Unfortunately, that was the same day that Bajoran Scarlett Brotherhood terrorists decided to attack, taking most of the station offline. For Kali, this became a trial under fire, as she was left in command of the entire station in a crisis while the Captain was away from the Hub. It was a challenge that she easily overcame. | Though the crew had just been through quite the ordeal, they took command of the station the next day.

In the hours that followed the initial attack, Kali ran emergency operations from the Hub as the rest of the senior staff made their way, manually and in the dark, to her. Eventually, as emergency power was just being restored, the Captain arrived with a couple of officers in tow. His safe arrival at the Hub did not come without a cost; Lt Commander Guy Hunt is killed when he convinces a group of terrorists, intent on using violence to get out of the now sticky situation, to follow him in order to get what they wanted. Once in position, an explosion engulfed them all. Hunt died moments later after being beamed to the newly powered up hospital ship, the USS Braveheart. | |||
Kali had been friends with Hunt since her initial posting, so the news of his death hit hard when it came from the Doctor. Still, half the station was in total darkness and so far they had only been able to get emergency power back, so she had to stow any feelings that she did have until a later date. | |||
By the end of almost three entire days, the situation came to a head when terrorists in a freighter tried to dock by having someone on the inside bypass all Starfleet protocols. The victory is launched and the terrorists got desperate. In an attempt at some kind of final glory, the remaining terrorists attempt to overload the warp core within mere meters of Starbase 118. By using the tractor beam, the Victory is able to drag the ship safely away, but she is damaged in the process. The Victory returned to dock without trouble and large scale repairs were started immediately. | |||
Being that there was no rest for the weary, Kali soon finds out about a planet in the Klingon/Romulan neutral zone that contains a rare mineral that both the Romulans and the Klingons want. Tensions are high as the Victory is dispatched, under the command of Kali, to prevent war from breaking out in the neutral zone. With the Klingon in charge of the fleet hell bent on starting that war, Kali has to go to extremes, even putting the Victory directly between the two raging fleets, to prevent disaster. | |||
Word quickly comes in of a new alliance who has made a claim to the planet in question. As the two fleets surrounding the planet get closer to the absolute breaking point, the Romulans are reveled to be members of said alliance, and the treachery within the Klingon chain of command is exposed. With all sides backing down, the situation is quickly resolved allowing the Victory to return to the Starbase. | |||
Once there, Kali decides that the entire senior staff needed some time away. After discussions with the Captain, a destination is agreed upon and a time is set. Intent on having a good time, the group sets out on the Victory to a new 'tourist planet' not far from their lonely location in space. Everything starts off great, but nothing is that simple when you're in Starfleet. | |||
