Lael joined the crew shortly following the [[What_Happened_At_Luxis_III_(Victory)|Luxis III]] mission. She played a role in repairs to the damaged vessel until the crew was temporarily re-assigned to the [https://wiki.starbase118.net/wiki/index.php/USS_Achilles| USS Achilles] while the Victory was in port for repair and refit. The ''Achilles'' was sent to work with the {{n|Romulan Republic}} in hunting down missing vials of the [[Skyfire Cure|Skyfire Virus]]. During the course of the mission, Ensign {{n|Janel Tarna}} noticed a suspicious-looking female carrying what he thought to be the missing vials in a box and immediately gave chase when the woman ran. Lael went after Janel to offer back-up. However, she found herself caught in a firefight and was kidnapped in the chaos that ensued.

She awoke to find herself in a shuttle with her captors. Despite her fear, she taunted her captors, refusing to provide them with the information they were seeking. Lael and Janel were held in an unknown facility and tortured for three days by {{n|Sicarius}}. It was later discovered that part of that torture was a drug that enhanced the emotions of its victims, administered on the first day of their captivity. This resulted in a strong sexual attraction between the pair. While Lael and Janel were attempting to escape, Janel took a severe beating which led to a head injury and Lael took a Romulan knife to her right side while attempting to stop the Romulan from claiming Janel's life. They were later rescued by Lieutenant {{n|Tarsii Asmara}} and his team.  After the team recovered the vials, Janel was rushed back to the ''Achilles'', where he underwent surgery and care for his injuries.  Even after the drug was out of her system, Lael found that her attraction to Janel hadn't faded. She stayed by Janel's side during and following his recovery.

Lael was called to the Captain’s Ready Room, where Nugra commended her on her actions. During this meeting, she requested and was granted a transfer to Helm/Comm/Ops. During the awards ceremony, she was promoted to Lieutenant Junior Grade and awarded the [[Prisoner of War Ribbon]], the [[Silver Lifesaving Ribbon]], and a [[Purple Heart]]. She later discovered that Janel wasn’t present at the awards ceremony because he had gone AWOL. Consumed by a desire to become a host to a symbiont, he had defied doctor’s orders and piloted a lone shuttlecraft to {{ma|Trillius Prime}}, desperate to make it back in time. Upon his forced return, Lael visited him in his quarters and learned that he had been rejected by the {{ma|Symbiosis Commission}} and his family had disowned him. Neither he nor their blossoming relationship were the same after that. She then underwent counseling for her time in captivity (aka the Temlai incident). <ref>[[SIM:Lael_Rosek_-_In_So_Many_Words,_Part_I_(Victory)|In So Many Words, Part I]]</ref><ref>[[SIM:Lael_Rosek_-_In_So_Many_Words,_Part_II_(Victory)|In So Many Words Part II]]</ref><ref>[[SIM:Lael_Rosek_-_In_So_Many_Words,_Part_III_(Victory)|In So Many Words Part III]]</ref><ref>[[SIM:Lael_Rosek_-_In_So_Many_Words,_Part_IV_(Victory)|In So Many Words Part IV]]</ref>

Following the awards ceremony and shoreleave, the ''Victory'' was again underway. Once out of dock, {{n|Harrington James}}, a space pirate and captain of the SS ''{{n|Lady Adventure}}'', contacted the ''Victory'' and provided Captain {{n|Nugra}} with the coordinates to a Starfleet vessel, the ''USS Arrow'', an Archer-class vessel lost in the early 23rd century. James came across the distress signal from the vessel and decided to pass the information along. Nugra pursued the lead and had Lael set a course to retrieve the ship. Upon arriving, Nugra assigned away teams to investigate. However, due to minerals in a nearby asteroid field that were confusing sensors, the teams were forced to use shuttlecraft out of concern that the same minerals would interfere with the transporter signal. Lael picked up some strange readings but couldn't get an accurate scan due to the interference from a nearby nebula. Though the readings weren't clear, the pattern indicated it might be another ship.
