The High Council was reluctant to immediately nominate her due to her lack of authority and attributes that do not measure up to Cameron's family's standards. After a two month searching for a more suitable candidate, the council reluctantly agree post her as a candidate for the people vote on. The citizenry of the Hegemony showed their faith in her, and confirmed her as Director-General.[5]

Alistair found this acceptable, which free up additional troops he needed to route out Combine forces invading. The agreement sent Hegemony forces jointly owned worlds such as; Blue Diamond, Lyons, and Nusakan. Her forces would first clash against Combine forces on Lyons in 2408.
