Serran always kept in touch with her family, still out there on the freighter, and hoped that one day her parents would understand that she had her own life to lead, that one day they would forgive her and accept her for what she wanted to be; out there exploring the stars.
'''USS Ticonderoga, CA-1471'''.
Upon Graduation from Star Fleet Academy, Serran was assigned to the USS Ticonderoga, where she served as Helm Officer. She enjoyed piloting such a large starship, but quietly felt that the fun in piloting came from the small ships, the fast and maneuverable ones. Still, she found herself quite adept at not only piloting but in space combat tactics.
Ironically Serran was on Shore Leave during the fateful last flight of the Ticonderoga. Having disembarked at starbase for Leave, she took a shuttle out to meet with the flagship of her family's freighter fleet. She was catching up on family news when she got word that the Tico needed her crew immediately for an urgent mission. She was just too far away to get back in time.
'''USS Pegasus, CL-2500'''.
With the USS Ticonderoga destroyed, Zan found herself without a starship to pilot... with so much competition in the Tactical department she decided to cast her net wider. It was that or give in to the pressure to rejoin the family business and pilot freighter ships for the rest of her life. The prospect of that was just too much to bear. As she'd taken a Minor in Starship Security while at Star Fleet Academy she added that to the options in her applications for a post. Star Fleet were certainly recruiting more Security officers in the wake of the recent conflict, and with her being 'halfway there' they would be able to fast track her through the training rather than starting someone off fresh. So Serran returned to the Academy to complete training to full Security Officer level. Putting in applications for starships she found that a position was possible on the USS Pegasus, which featured other members of the Tico crew also, but unfortunately she would have to take a demotion from Lieutenant Junior Grade back to Midshipman. As there were no fancy starships begging for her piloting skills Serran decided to make the move and take demotion. She would still be able to fly for fun as a past time, on the holodeck perhaps...
The team split into two, and Serran accompanied the group up onto the Bridge. Everyone experienced visions, for want of a better word, or perhaps... ghosts... of the old crew. Were they dead? Alive? One encounter on the Bridge had Zan feeling that they were very much alive but trapped in time by some effect of the rift. Attempts to free the Gryphon from the rift proved fruitless unfortunately, as the rift ramped up the psychological trauma experienced by the Away Team and crew on the Pegasus. Zan managed to get herself and an engineer down to the auxillary shuttle bay and start up one of the old shuttles. Rikka Zan's memories were what got her and that shuttle out of the bay and the Away Team back to the Pegasus. Headaches and visions plagued her and the rest of the team, visions of people she knew, her parents, slipping away from her... Back on the ship, the First Officer, Commander Gregg, felt the only solution was to send the Gryphon all the way into the rift and seal the whole thing up. This done, the Pegasus could finally continue her mission. Everything went smoothly with that thankfully, but Serran kept on feeling that she was seeing images from her past, echoes of the nightmare on the USS Gryphon.
'''USS Dauntless, CA-1553'''.
After just one mission on the USS Pegasus, Serran was transferred once again. She found herself assigned, along with many other of her Pegasus crewmates, to the USS Dauntless. She felt thrilled to be heading to such an illustrious ship and hoped to learn more about her chosen career in a larger Security department. As the ship set out for a routine patrol, Serran was promoted back up to the rank of Ensign, and began a new set of duties among a new crew once again. Maybe this time she would stick around long enough to get to know some of her crewmates better? Some had been on the same ships as her going back to the Tico, but she didn't know anyone outside of duty shifts. It just proved to her that one could be among a crowd, but still be alone. Serran needed to learn to open up a little, make new friends.
The assignment to the USS Dauntless was an eventful one, especially considering it was supposedly just to chart an area. Encountering time-travelling Iotians, a singularity, travelling back in time themselves, forward again to discover that the timeline had been changed, so back into the past to put things right... and a few Ferengi and an unidentified warship from the future... Eventful to say the least. During the mission Serran was promoted to Lieutenant Junior Grade, and head of the Security department. It was a tough mission, but she kept her head together and kept to her principles of duty and loyalty to her crew and to Starfleet. By their return to civilisation she was starting to get used to the new responsibilities of her role.
'''USS Pegasus, CL-2500'''.
Her next assignment saw her returning to the USS Pegasus, and having recieved the Distinguished Service Globe for her part in the mission with the Dauntless, Zan was also promoted to full Lieutenant, and continued to serve as Chief of Security.
It was a different Serran Zan that rejoined the Pegasus though, one that was more experienced, more mature, more responsible. So she had grown and evloved, but still hadn't found much common ground among her crewmates. Opening up and making friends were still challenges to be faced. Maybe she would succeed during her second tour on the Pegasus.
The new assignment would challenge her in many ways, especially as it would take the Pegasus right to the furthest reaches of the Gamma Quadrant...
