Having reunited with Murphy during this posting, she was quite satisfied with her life until an unexpected disaster resulted in his death. As if history had repeated itself, she was flung into panic, terrified of the way she felt and her reaction to his death, and the all too real possibility of her becoming "like her mother", who had died decades prior. Desperate to distract herself, she asked Captain Koth of the Marigold if she could change her mind about an offer of academy sponsorship that she had declined many times before. | Having reunited with Murphy during this posting, she was quite satisfied with her life until an unexpected disaster resulted in his death.

After graduating the Officer Candidate School, she was reassigned to the [[USS Gorkon]] as an Engineering Officer under the Command of Vice Admiral [[Quinn Reynolds]]. | After graduating the Officer Candidate School, she was reassigned to the [[USS Gorkon]] as an Engineering Officer under the Command of Vice Admiral [[Quinn Reynolds]]. Immediately thrown into action, she was tasked with piloting the USS Azetbur, the USS Gorkon's primary shuttle, down onto the "Rogue Planet" that threatened the destruction of the Tyrellian moon, Palanon. After navigating wild kaleidoscopic clouds, the shuttle was successfully landed in a zone where Lt. Commander [[Alieth]] and Lieutenant [[Corliss Fortune]] waited for her. Once introductions were made, and the main objective explained, Doz suggested that they used the Azetbur's onboard scanners to aid them in the search for underground tunnels. Once discovered, the team made their way through crumbling tunnels weighed down by yellow waters thrashing above, and after some creative engineering, broke into a patchworked ship that held a number of refugees. Once secured inside again, Alieth and Fortune left to heave the old freighter up and out using the Azetbur, whilst Doz remained inside, ensuring that every individual was securely strapped in. Though challenging as it was, they managed to exit the planets atmosphere moments before it zipped away. | ||

As months went on, Doz and many other officers throughout the ship were pulled into a strange shared dream experience, known as "Skarbek", which initiated her second mission with the Gorkon——though she wouldn't know it at the time. In this alternate reality, she was known as "[[Doz Finch/Skarbek|Gramma]]", a cold and rather dour woman who lended her skills to a Maquis group, mostly to escape the clutches of her nemesis, Norström (who in the real world was actually her best friend who had died some years before: [[Murve Norström]]). An ex prison convict, "Gramma" worked with [[Tahna Meru/Skarbek|Lark]] ([[Tahna Meru]]), [[Alieth/Skarbek|N'Alieth]] ([[Alieth]], [[Seva Reeshe]] and a Bajoran man named Imul, in attempting to recruit civilians to their cause, hoping to build up a resistance and eventually beat the Cardassians who had taken over the colony of Witherington. | |||
Going from warehouse to a farm barn and then onto another warehouse, in a relentless neverending rain, tensions were high. After taking out two guards, Gramma, Lark and Imul ran quickly inside and collected a number of supplies, namely medical, with the intention of returning them back to the barn. It was here that Doz (as Gramma) suggested stealing a Cardassian shuttle from a landing pad outside, feeling it was not only the most practical means of transferring the items they had collected, but also slightly for herself, so that an escape route was always there and feasible should she need it. Though reluctant at first, Lark eventually agreed to the idea. Once they had scaled the innards of the warehouse and escaped to the landing pad, they found themselves in the sight of a worker, and in a quick flash, Gramma pushed Imul into him, believing him capable of handling it, and so that their window of opportunity was not lost. Although he did indeed win the fight, it also created a disconnect between him and the others——though mainly Gramma——and any trust he had for them severed from then on. | |||
Later on the mission, Imul ultimately departed to return to his family, and Gramma, Lark and Seva, made their way to a known Cardassian headquarters, with the intention of breaking in and disrupting their communications across the colony. Many hostile encounters along the way, they found their intended communications room, locked themsleves inside and commenced with their propaganda broadcast, hoping to inspire rebellion and resistance, and finally secure their main objective——to recruit. They escaped as the building went up in flames. In the final moments of her Skarbek experience, Gramma finally encountered Norström, but woke up in her real quarters as Doz Finch before anything could really happen. | |||
