For the first instance in her career, Quinn experienced the loss of personnel under her direct command; rather than deal with how it affected her, she chose to ignore it, distancing herself from the situation. Toward the end of the mission, she experienced fresh emotional turmoil in the form of a burgeoning relationship with David Cody. | The Euphrates mission held several revelations for the newly-minted Chief Engineer.

She was | The medical relief mission to TE-IV left a permanent impression on the young engineer; the explosion of a sabotaged generator was the cover to supplant Quinn with an imposter. She was held captive, a device implanted into her brain in order to provide the imposter to access with her memories. The switch between the pair wasn't flawless, however and the imposter came truly close to death. With detailed access to the real Quinn's mind, the imposter was able to flawlessly masquerade as the engineer; though the experience left her with some serious scars; physical, in the form of constant pain in her left leg and mental, as she is subsequently plagued with nightmares as a result of memories streaming through the implant. She also discovered that Quinn's cousin was intending to marry Lily Ventu and portrayed a struggle to deal with the unexpected and uncharacteristic jealousy that would have accompanied the discovery, had it been made by the genuine article. | ||
Shortly before the Independence was pulled the Galactic Barrier, the imposter found herself thrust into a teaching role as a tactical officer with no formal engineering training was assigned as Assistant Chief Engineer. It was not a position the real Quinn would have been particularly comfortable with and whenever possible, she delegated it to other crew members.

The subsequent scouting mission into the Igloo Cluster brought an end to the imposter's time on the Independence; transported to the Skiptrace, she was unable to return to the Independence - Quinn had managed to effect an escape from the Breen ship on which she was being held captive. Quinn's return to the Independence was less than happy, as she discovered that both Lily and Hayden were gone, and that with his promotion to First Officer, David appeared to have chosen his career over her. Feeling alone, abandoned and lost, she decided to request a transfer away from the Independence and the memories it held. | |||
