'''Cormac:''' Twenty one years in this gig. ::He huffed, breaking out of his stillness and rubbing at his forehead.:: As soon as I get back to Esperance, I'm calling this Starfleet thing quits. Marshals, Starfleet, Federation verses Colonial Coalition nonsense . . . I'm might hitch a ride Risa and ''live'' there. | |||
'''Blake:''' Cormac . . . | |||
'''Cormac:''' I'm being serious, Blake. ::beat:: I can't help but wonder what the hell I'm doing with my life. We put up with crap like this from left, right and centre and get nothing back to show for it. Carrero dies and we're strewn in eight different directions, separated and blamed with barely any time to tell our families we're being reassigned. Then here, being attacked by pirates, spending over a week waiting for a rescue that never comes because neither side can decide whether its their problem. ::He shook his head.:: I'm forty years old. I want to settle down, Stratop, start a family. I could have died on that station. | |||
'''Blake:''' But you didn't. | |||
'''Cormac:''' But I could have. So I'm gonna quit. And ask [[Elis Nacubaq|him]] to take me back. | |||

When Sky joins the ''Veritas'' in 2392, [[Brandon Cormac]] expresses his immense frustration at her lack of training and liability to the crew to [[Zhou Tai-Sheng]] in Blake's company. She explains to him that, as a Brekkian citizen, she understands how the Brekkian drug trade works and can provide valuable assistance. Much to his Bajoran friend [[Elis Nacubaq]]'s distaste, he continues to place pressure onto Blake, convinced that she fails to feel anger or remorse in the face of her fellow Brekkians crimes, how no one onboard seems to know anything about her background, not shows any kind of empathy - though she disputes this, stating to him that if she ever became emotional over such trivial things, it would be detrimental to her capability as the ship's strategic ops officer. | |||
They grow into a friendship quickly after resolving their dispute, and Cormac takes to filling in the gaps of her understanding of Starfleet operations inside and outside the Shoals. She finds out about Cormac's relationship with Elis when she accidentally walks into Cormac's office during a heated moment between the two officers - unfazed, however, she simply hands Cormac the PADD she'd needed to deliver to him and walks out of the office. Five months later, however, the two men break off their relationship, but remain close friends. | |||
Cormac (and by extension, Elis) learns of Blake's casual relationship with their XO through Carrero whilst Blake is operating in Cakapunnual, told to tell her to "stop hiding behind [your] boy toy" if Blake refers back for Zhou's involvement. | |||
When Elis and Cormac are transferred away, Blake beings to grow uncomfortable with her sudden lack of "safety net". | |||
Elis contacts Blake as she returns to the Shoals (following a trip to [[Duronis II]]), panicked that Cormac had failed to send a coms check on schedule, and asks Blake to check on [[Outpost 3]]. She arrives to an utterly destroyed outpost, left barely space-worthy following an attack by Klingons. Cormac, alive after ten days and severely injured, is the sole-survivor aboard the outpost. Cormac decides to quit Starfleet as she takes him back to [[Shadow's Edge]], and becomes a [[Colonial Coalition Marshals Service]] marshal. Though they'd been separated for almost two years, he tells Blake he intends to ask Elis to take him back. | |||
Unable to follow two marshals outside of Shadow's Edge space, Blake chooses to take a night off to spend in a bar in Cakapunnual. Cormac seeks her out when she becomes unreachable to the Shadow's Edge Starfleet intelligence officer to deliver more information about the marshals, and suggests she return to the ''Veritas''. She hesitates, stating that the ship no longer feels like home without them, to which Cormac simply responds that if she doesn't like the transfers, she should quit now. Blake refuses and returns to the ''Veritas'' the following week. However, she leaves her personal small craft for Cormac's use. | |||

Though deceased, Sabor still affects Blake's personality and psyche, as Blake once held access to his experience as a Starfleet armory officer - potentially why she was able to return to active Starfleet duty so easily. She can recall perfectly "rants" about potential weapons and uses, and such things influence her choices of defense when operating in the Shoals. However, there are some things Blake believes Sabor wouldn't consider despite his capabilities as an armory officer, such as Crewman [[Rotha]]'s use of a phaser to create a forcefield. | Though deceased, Sabor still affects Blake's personality and psyche, as Blake once held access to his experience as a Starfleet armory officer - potentially why she was able to return to active Starfleet duty so easily.
