But at 18, Laura left home to take up an apprenticeship as a Engineering Technician her parent's had expected her to go to university too. After she finished her 2 year apprenticeship she took a placement on Mars Colony. Once this was completed she worked as Engineering Technician on secondment to different colonies as required, although she found this interesting and rewarding (particularly community projects when she saw people enjoying her completed work) it was very lonely and she return to Earth. In 2389 she joined the academy. | But at 18, Laura left home to take up an apprenticeship as a Engineering Technician her parent's had expected her to go to university too.

Shortly after arriving she received an offer she couldn't turn down to be Acting Chief Engineer to a starship on a 4 year mission exploring the unknown the USS. Za. She quickly packed her bags, but didn't think of the consequences of being away from home for so long. She found it hard at first missing her family. She was particularly close to her sister and nephew while at the academy, had previously seen him regularly from when he was born. Also she found it difficult gaining respect from the engineering crew being a young Ensign particular from a seasoned petty officer Vreya Kima. | Her first assignment was to Federation Embassy of Duronis II.
