In 2387, Zhou completed his cadet cruise and was assigned to the [[USS Independence-A|USS ''Independence''-A]] as a medical officer. He was greatly affected early on in his Starfleet career by the death of Crewman [[Jessop, Veralise|Veralise Jessop]], a medic who had sacrificed herself to save the lives of Zhou and several other crewmembers. Shortly thereafter, Zhou was promoted on SD 238708.26 to Lieutenant Junior Grade and assigned as the ''Independence'''s chief medical officer. | In 2387, Zhou completed his cadet cruise and was assigned to the [[USS Independence-A|USS ''Independence''-A]] as a medical officer.

There was little time to relax, however, as the ''Independence'' was quickly called into action for [[Operation Bright Star]]. Though he had a moment of doubt, a new physician, [[Shelley, Fiona|Fiona Shelley]], helped Zhou focus to do his job to serve the injured among his crew, which ultimately included Captain [[Riley, Sidney|Sidney Riley]] herself. Though Zhou managed to stabilize the captain, she suffered severe traumatic injuries that threatened to prevent her from returning to active starship duty. | |||
With the onslaught of death and sorrow experienced so relentlessly in the first few months of his Starfleet career, coupled with being caught in a lengthy divorce, Zhou began serious thought into resigning his commission while the ''Independence'' remained on leave at the recently-recaptured [[Deep Space 17]]. | |||
