[[Image:Independence-ANav2.jpg|thumb|USS Independence]]The Euphrates mission held several revelations for the newly-minted Chief Engineer.  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 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. During their time at the Galactic Barrier, the imposter was frustrated with her own unusually short temper, the nightmares still present and including flashbacks from the battle where the real Quinn commanded the Yellowknife.

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.

Before she had a chance to fully recuperate from either the physical or mental stresses of her ordeal in the Klingon prison, Quinn was ordered to the USS Prospero to take part a tactical exercise.  The war games took an unexpected turn when the uninhabited system turned out to have a large and expertly concealed population hidden in one of the gas giants.  The Prospero was attacked, the crew imprisoned and the forced telepathic contact between the crew and several of the aliens resulted in heightened psionic abilities amongst those already possessing them - including Quinn.  Without any form of control over her newly unleashed empathy, her condition began to rapidly deteriorate and only a hastily arranged telepathic Zhian'tara ritual, involving [[Tam, Kael|Kael Tam]], [[Reynolds, Hayden|Hayden Reynolds]] and [[Ventu, Lily|Lily Ventu]] was able to give her some relief.  More formal training followed during shore leave on the planet Vulcan.

The return to the Starbase revealed the the Klingon virus situation had not been resolved during her absence from the Starbase; a situation which resulted in the Starbase coming under biological attack and her close friend Walter Brunsig infected.  As he lay close to death, she was forced to make several difficult decisions about his treatment, some of which she knew he would not have accepted had he been given the choice himself.  He pulled through, but was soon turning to drink to deal with the experience.

While she trying to help Walter with his suddenly worsening habit, Lily Ventu summoned the senior staff on the base to a clandestine meeting.  Announcing her intention to go AWOL and violate orders, she followed up with a request that the staff cover for her whilst she did so.  Realising that they were being telepathically probed to check their loyalty and questioning where her own lay, Quinn stormed out of the meeting.
