{{SubHeading|The Hocktin Incident|Goldenrod}}

SShortly after her spinal replacement surgery, Lael followed her transfer orders with her friends Dassa and Chythar to the USS Za where Alex was already waiting. Not long after her arrival, she reported for her first duty shift on the bridge where she was a part of first contact with a bear-like race called the Hocktin. Lael was assigned to Alex's team to help with setting up a ship to ship network to exchange information. However, the mission quickly went sour when a crewmember was bitten by a flea-like creature and was exposed to a deadly virus.

To make matters worse, Lael and Alex were bitten while aboard the Hocktin vessel and Captain Rhani her team were taken hostage by a militaristic faction. The situation was further exacerbated when Hocktin scientist Professor Mindor beamed aboard without following proper quarantine procedures and exposed the whole ship to the virus. Lael and Alex learned that the Captain had been taken and had to they fight against time to get a blood sample from the immune Hocktin to save the crew and locate the Captain before the disease reached its final stage. The energy they expended in their efforts took a severe toll on them both and they barely returned to the Za in time to receive the cure the Medical team had synthesized.

This particular incident was one of the turning points of Lael's career, offering her the first taste of leadership. It showed her superiors what she was capable of under pressure. Though the topic still makes her extremely uncomfortable, it's made her more cautious when it comes to similar situations.

{{SubHeading|Conduct Unbecoming|Goldenrod}}

Her first mission aboard the {{USS|Veritas}} was a challenging one in many respects. While on Antor II, the mines she and the Engineering team were working in collapsed, trapping Commander [[Luna Walker]] and Lieutenant [[Anjar Thoran]] behind a wall of rock. The two were eventually rescued, but the incident left Lael shaken. During a briefing that included the Antor II governor via comm, Lael became very upset and emotional when Luna suggested sending more teams down into the mines. The disagreement became so heated that Captain [[Roshanara Rahman|Rahman]] had to cut them off.  

When the briefing was over, Captain [[Roshanara Rahman|Rahman]] called both women into her ready room for a dress-down regarding their unprofessional behavior. Lael was extremely embarrassed once she'd calmed down enough to realize the full magnitude of her mistake. Despite the tension that remained between her and Luna for a time afterwards, the two women were able to overcome it and become trusted colleagues to the point that they felt comfortable joking with one another. It was a lesson for Lael in the time and place to question a superior officer's decision as well as in overcoming negative first impressions.  

{{SubHeading|The ''Astraeus'' Incident|Goldenrod}}

Shortly after her promotion to Lieutenant Commander, Lael was asked to lead an Engineering team aboard the {{USS|Astraeus}},  a large Galaxy class ship that became "stuck" after attempting to use high warp in a tetryon radiation-dense region. However, soon after the away team arrived, the ship was boarded by pirates. With internal comms on the fritz, Lael and both the medical and Engineering teams were trapped on the bridge unable to communicate with Commander [[Kelrod]] and his team.
