[edit] Biography
In 2009, by the time the USS Hammond arrived with Senator of California Alan Armstrong and civilian Eli Wallace concerning the Icarus project, she and Scott were having sex in a secluded room. That night, she, along with around 80 other people were forced to abandon the base after it was attacked by what they suspected were Lucian Alliance, and arrived at the Destiny, several billion light years from Earth. After arriving, she and other soldiers searched the ship for problems relating to the life support worries. After they found a planet to help the situation, she was sent there when Scott was lost, in order to search for him. (SGU: "Air, Part 1", "Air, Part 2", "Air, Part 3")
She was one of several people who recorded a message on the Kino incase they would be found one day. She felt that the majority of the crew weren't kept in the loop on the situation. She was part of the group that brought Eli in if he knew anything Rush and Young were thinking on a way to return home. After he claimed he didn't know anything, James appointed a reluctant Eli as their "inside man", to inform them of any developments as soon as he would. Sometime after the ship lost power, she accused Eli and Sergeant Riley of spying on her while she slept, after she found them flying the Kino on the corridor when she left her quarters, though Eli claimed he went the wrong way. (SGU: "Darkness")
Her name was one of 15 handpicked from a lottery to evacuate Destiny to the remaining shuttle to one of three potentially habitable planets when Destiny is on an unalterable course to a red dwarf star. While the shuttle was en route to the planet, she was the first to wish Sergeant Hunter Riley a happy birthday. Upon discovering Destiny flew to the sun to recharge, the shuttle, and James were brought back to Destiny before it jumped back to FTL. (SGU: "Light") Sometime after, she caught Scott making out with Chloe Armstrong when he didn't respond to Young's radio calls. After finding out, she seemed somewhat bitter about her finding. She later informed Chloe of Scott being trapped in a crevasse despite the expedition members being ordered to stay in their quarters. (SGU: "Water")
