While on the station he was responsible for increasing shield strength and increasing tractor beam systems. He spent two yeas on K-12 before being transferred to the USS Carolina, as assistant chief engineer.

While attempting to navigate the storm, the ship was heavily damaged, resulting in the entire bridge being decompressed. Francis managed to rewire the control circuits to engineering. With the help of some junior officers, they were able to steer the Carolina out of storm and call for help. After being being picked up by Starfleet, he was taken back to K-12 to rest and recover. After a few months off, he was transferred to the USS Challenger as her new chief engineer. |
