After serving aboard the USS Republic in the sciences section, she was promoted to chief science officer and executive officer aboard the USS Exeter. This move has been the cause of some resentment toward her from Commander Paul Cutty who believed himself to be in line for the first officer's position. The situation has caused her to feel that she must continually prove herself to Cutty and Captain Garrovick.
