As of Stardate 21305.31 Ambassador Jal contacted HQ of the UFP Diplomatic Corps, reporting the completion of her latest assignment to a colony near the Neutral Zone, and reported she had commenced her return to Earth for debriefing…
Starfleet wanted Jal back in the service, and she suspected also wanted to keep her and the knowledge she held of 'the experiment' where they could keep a close eye on her. So she was given a role at Starbase Alpha, and the rank of Commodore once again, then promotion to Rear Admiral and the position of Fleet Commander, managing the First Fleet and defence of Sector 001.
Finding a silver lining in having a desk job, Kinziri found a home for her family on Earth. Kyoto, Japan, to be precise. Jhesev and Jihan could live in the house and Kinziri could visit regularly with ease. She enjoyed this balance between duty to Starfleet while also seeing her son growing up, and spending time with her dutiful husband. As a bonus, their adopted daughter was on Earth a lot for her studies and training at Starfleet Academy and could spend time with the family too.
Kinziri's life entered a period of peace for a while.
'''Pioneer Outpost'''.
With the long period of war finally over, Starfleet began to rebuild and to think about the future, and a little of their past as well. Before all of the conflict, they had been explorers. A new expedition was proposed out far away from Sector 001, out near the Dozaria System.
When Jal heard of this expedition she used every bit of leaverage she could muster to get a place in that Group.
Appointed to the position of Expedition Field Commander, Kinziri said a tearful farewell to Jhesev and Jihan, who would remain on Earth. Her adopted daughter, Calico, had graduated from Starfleet Command and gained her first assignment. Not on the Expedition, but on a Starfleet ship at least.
Travelling to Pioneer, Rear Admiral Jal would manage organisation of the ships exlporing the region, while Rear Admiral Nick Ristone would manage the Outpost and its personnel.
'''USS Sheridan, DD-4086'''.
From Stardate 21807.01, Jal took command of the USS Sheridan on a simple supply run to pick up equipment and other supplies needed by Pioneer Outpost. With the Sheridan's regular commanding officer on medical leave, Kinziri decided to take the post herself. It would get her out of the office, and it had been far too long since she had sat in the central chair. She figured that if Starfleet Command was going to make her a Rear Admiral, she could use that authority as she saw fit. She privately hoped that it wouldn't be just a simple supply run.
There was a distraction along the way thankfully, a strange amount of warp traffic in a pre-warp system. Jal ordered the Sheridan go investigate. Pushing her authority further, she surprised the regular First Officer, Commander Boislevesque, by choosing to take the Away Team to the surface of the planet herself. Waiving the tired old Starfleet regs about a CO not leaving the ship, she left the Sheridan in Boislevesque's capable hands and took a team down to the surface of the desert planet. Their investigation uncovered a group of Brikar who had been using technology to impersonate the native people's deity,'Phezus. Again using her authority as Rear Admiral etcetera etcetera she had her team apprehend the Brikar on the surface and Boislevesque threaten likewise to the Brikar ship that had been discovered in orbit. That all settled, and without bloodshed, Kinziri felt pleased to have had this chance to 'blow away the cobwebs' and do something positive in the field.
Unfortunately that was short lived, and once the Sheridan had the supplies back at Pioneer, Jal was back at her desk in the outpost Admiralty office. The admin of the Expeditionary Group had piled up in her absence, and of course there were several Commanding Officers that needed debriefing.
Feildwork was nice while it lasted.
