	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.

	~~'' (Coming:~~ psi-ders, broken bones from a ~~ruptured conduit~~, ~~multiple cuts~~ and a ~~sliced artery~~. ~~Broken ribs~~ and ruptured ear-drums ~~from being blown~~ down ~~2 flights~~ of stairs ~~& being~~ to ~~close~~ to ~~concussion grenades during~~ the time-~~mission~~, ~~plus~~ her ~~dress) ''~~		As in any war, she quickly set up a rapport with various members of both the Security Department, and now Engineering… in which she was a regular visitor when the Tactical Holographic Systems needed tweaking. She was quickly assigned command of a regular squad when her time was not needed by the THIS, and she took to training that squad with a vigor she had carried from her time at Crewman School. It was a good thing too, because their first mission after shakedown ended up with a forced invasion when the [[psi-ders]] swarmed over the ship looking for fresh bodies to feed on.

			Melody and her team found themselves caught in Engineering, where several pitched battles were fought. She was cut apart several times by their sharp tentacles, and was given a concussion and several burns and broken bones when a plasma conduit was destroyed due to phaser fire. She had to be dragged into a secure area of Engineering and given emergency aid, but even so, it was a close call and she nearly died from the experience. It was partially thanks to Chief Engineer Trevan West, whom she had taken something of a liking to, that she survived the episode.

			Not long later, Melody found herself on an Away Team that was to scout and secure sensitive materials from a pre-contact Civilization. The Prime Directive usually would have prohibited this, but this planet was doomed to be destroyed, the Boudicca had traveled back far in time. In order to walk around freely, the Away Team had to dress in similar cloths to what the natives wore, and Melody found herself wearing the equivalent of a business suit. She still has that suit to this day, she thought she looked ‘sharp’ in it.

			That mission ended up in a bank robbery, because the greatest concentration of the metal they needed to travel forward in time could be found in native coined money. That robbery almost ended up as a disaster, several crewman and officers were killed when military forces stormed the bank/depository and Melody was injured several times. First with a broken cheek-bone and rib during their first pullout to a lower level when she had to jump down the stairs (which then collapsed as she rolled) due to grenades being thrown at her, and then with more broken bones, ruptured ear-drums and a serious concussion when she covered their pullout a second time to the lowest level and a series of concussion grenades launched her down yet another set of stairs.

			They were beamed out not long later, though she lost consciousness after she landed and had to be pulled out by Chief Science Officer Maddie Monroe.

			She recovered from that mission and was looking forward to a relaxing time when the Boudicca was ordered to stand-to for two weeks to gather supplies on a tropical planet, while the Second Task Force assembled. She did manage to steal a bit of time with Trevan West, including a couple steamy hours well away from any people, but the vacation was quickly ended when they were cut off from the Boudicca and their ground party came under attack and several of their crew members were abducted.

			Melody was made part of the assault team that retrieved the crew members, this time (thankfully) without an injury larger then a bug-bite, and has since spent the last weeks hammering her crew and mentally preparing for what could be their final push into Federation Space.

			The initial class spent one year on Earth, taking various engineering and tactical courses that would not only prepare them for using and teaching the device to others, but to install and repair all aspects of the device at need. Melody, being a Security/Tactical Senior Chief, spent less time learning Combat basics and more time learning Teaching Techniques and studying at Engineering. It was the single hardest bit of schooling in her life, as she’d never taken more then what was offered to beginners during Crewman School. She found that teaching was natural to her, though she had to curb her crewman’s tongue, which was quick to curse when things went wrong.

			She spent that year catching up with friends and family on Earth as well, as she had all nights and most weekends off while on detached duty.

			Melody walked away from earth after a year more rested, and now ready to take on new and challenging duties. She was quickly assigned to the fringe again, where the USS Boudicca waited in refit.

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.

	~~'' (Coming:~~ 2.~~5 year tour~~, ~~promotion~~ to Senior Chief Petty Officer, ~~combat against~~ the ~~Borg~~) ''		Her two and a half years on the Black Jack were the most peaceful she had ever experienced during her 10 years in the fleet. The Black Jack was quickly reassigned off the Border and into deep space for exploratory missions, leaving her little time to ply her trade except in its most basic terms.

			She was most often called upon to put together and head the Ambassadorial Guard whenever a new diplomat or government official from another world came on-board, but there were no incidents during these times.

			The single biggest event to happen during her tour of the Black Jack was a Borg Incursion in 2403. Melody, along with every Marine and Tactical/Security force on the ship were mobilized and were forced to fight off several waves of Borg as they beamed onto the Black Jack and several dozen other combative ships before the Cube could be destroyed. Melody watched in horror as many of her crew-mates, some of which had been with her as far back as their tours on the Marlboro, be turned. She was forced to kill several before they could be fully assimilated.

			The Black Jack sustained little damage beyond internal damage from fire-fights and only a 2 week refit was needed at Starbase 23. During this two week overhaul, however, she took and passed all the appropriate tests to become a Senior Chief Petty Officer. Passing the tests was a pre-requisite, but that didn’t automatically convey the rank. She was promoted to SCPO three months later for no apparent rhyme or reason.

She was transferred to the USS Destiny, one of the ships which had escaped major damage in the battle above, and beamed there directly with what was left of the Marlboro’s Tactical forces.

			===Serving Onboard USS Destiny===
			Melody’s time aboard the Destiny was short, a mere two years, but it was never dull as they spent most of those two years in active combat against the Cardassians during the Cardassian War. There were battles innumerable, though she sat most of them out in anti-boarding parties. Only once was the Destiny forcibly boarded, and they managed to take down the Cardassians within twenty-minutes.

			There were a further eighteen ground battles during this time, she managed to survive all but one unscathed, and that one wound wasn’t serious in the slightest, just a burn from a disruptor blast to her armor. ''

			Approximately a year after she was transferred to the Destiny, she took the necessary tests and schooling to become an Ambassadorial Guard, at the behest of the Destiny’s Senior Chief Petty Officer, Roland McDowel. She passed with flying colors at her final exam on Starbase 23, which was the center of Federation Forces in the war. And with her passing, she was invited to take the test to become a Chief Petty Officer. After one week of study, she took that test and also passed with flying colors, again on Starbase 23. She was welcomed back to the Destiny with a wild party that heralded her new rank, and it was the Commanding Officer of the Destiny, Captain Bartow, who placed the new pip on her neck. Before this, it had always been her Squad CO.

			The War ended when Starfleet bombarded the world of Cardassia, which caused the Cardassians surrendered, a little over a year after she had transferred. The Destiny was put on border patrol; she was a Galaxy Class vessel and a hard-prize to take if the Cardassians decided they wanted revenge.

			However, it wasn’t the Cardassians that struck during the lull, but the Dominion. A two week war was launched as Starfleet Forces were pulling back to regroup and rebuild, and it would have been longer had the Admiral stationed at Starbase 23 hadn’t thrown every available ship through the worm-hole while they were still available. The Dominion quickly called for an armistice which was immediately accepted by the Federation. Melody saw combat twice with the Dominion, both times from the bridge, where she had been tasked to learn standard Tactical/Security bridge duty as part of her new duties as a Chief Petty Officer. New realms of possibilities were opened for her, she had thought that she would live and die as a Tactical Ground-pounder.

	~~'' (Coming: 2 year tour~~, ~~promotion~~ to ~~Chief Petty Officer~~, ~~Combat against~~ the Dominion twice, ~~against~~ the ~~Cardassians several times in war~~, ~~additional training prior~~ to Chief Petty Officer~~) ''~~		When the Destiny was ordered to withdraw for repairs and upgrades, Melody and a good 200 other crewmen were reassigned to other ships staying on the front. Melody herself was reassigned to the USS Black Jack, a Sovereign Class vessel.
