With this promotion, Melody had come almost as close to the top as she could get. There was only one more natural rank she could attain, that of Master Chief Petty Officer, before she hit a ‘glass ceiling’. The only two ranks above Master Chief were as much positions as ranks, that of Master Chief Petty Officer of (Whatever Fleet she was in) or Master Chief Petty Officer of Starfleet. At any one time, there were only as many Master Chief’s of the Fleet as there were fleets. Her own Master Chief of the Fleet was Master Chief Petty Officer of the 49th Fleet Don Johnson, and he’d been in that position for no less then seven years. And at any one time, there was only one Master Chief of Starfleet, which was always picked from one of the Master Chiefs of the Fleet. | With this promotion, Melody had come almost as close to the top as she could get.

There were thousands of Master Chiefs in the Fleet, and Tens of Thousands of Senior Chiefs. Less then 100 at a time ever got to serve in the much vaunted positions just one more level above her head. It was easier to become an Admiral then it was to become a Master Chief of a Fleet, and easier to become President of the Federation then to become Master Chief of Starfleet… at least Presidents had a term-of-office, some Master Chiefs of Starfleet had served for 30 years in the past | There were thousands of Master Chiefs in the Fleet, and Tens of Thousands of Senior Chiefs.

Melody would require more training, and more experience, if she ever hoped for one of these positions. And her prayers were answered not long later when her orders came through to report to Earth, for training in experimental Tactical Technology. She packed her bags and boarded a high-speed transport back to Starbase 23, which was nearly 2 months away, so she could catch a transport back to Earth. | Melody would require more training, and more experience, if she ever hoped for one of these positions.

After her transfer, Melody immediately began overseeing the refit of the USS Boudicca in terms of the Tactical Holographic Systems. She expected to have a full year, but her time was cut short with Admiral [[Robert LoDona]]’s pullout of Starfleet. The refit was rushed, though thankfully her systems were nearly completed by the time the Captain Caladryll Sevant was assigned as her new Commanding Officer and the Boudicca was given a launch date. | After her transfer, Melody immediately began overseeing the refit of the USS Boudicca in terms of the Tactical Holographic Systems.
