Once she graduated from her training, she was immediately put to work. She would spend hours and hours in the medical facility, getting experience in all types of situations. It really helped her grow as a person. She wasn't as shy as her childhood self after being forced from her shell in the medical environment. Communication was key and she was thankfully quick to adapt. However, she still felt like she wasn't doing what she wanted to do, what she needed to do. She saw many people go to Starfleet Academy and become officers and she was always envious of the Doctors. | Once she graduated from her training, she was immediately put to work.

Tales of the state of the Bajoran homeland were in their peak on Earth, lots of wounded - militia and freedom fighters. Even though a small few (from her somewhat small-minded/gossipping community) may have been wary of interacting with a Bajoran at the time - "He could be a terrorist" some would whisper. - Caitríona wasn't worried about Bikar at all. The two become close, lovers, after a few years he even proposed. Caitríona was the happiest she had ever been and it was total bliss. | ||
In 2388, the year Bajor joined the Federation, Caitríona accompanied Bikar to Bajor to see his home and also meet those he cared for, however, an old Cardassian bomb which was hidden during the Occupation was trigged accidentally with Bikar and Cayne - among many other civilians and military being in close proximity. The explosion was devastating, and even though she survived she suffered from psychological and physical damage. | In 2388, the year Bajor joined the Federation, Caitríona accompanied Bikar to Bajor to see his home and also meet those he cared for, however, an old Cardassian bomb which was hidden during the Occupation was trigged accidentally with Bikar and Cayne - among many other civilians and military being in close proximity.
