She was assigned to the {{UNSCShip|Hilbert}}, an older, unarmed science vessel. Despite this, the ship was used by Keyes to play a critical role in battle. In the following years, Keyes spent most of her time in the front lines, playing a crucial advisory role in the coordination of several major offensive strikes against Covenant targets. This proved invaluable to her as she quickly rose through the ranks of the UNSC. Throughout her career, she was forced to confront accusations of nepotism from those who ascribed her rapid rise in rank to the position and influence of her father, Jacob Keyes.<ref name="news"/> | She was assigned to the {{UNSCShip|Hilbert}}, an older, unarmed science vessel.
