After her arrival on Earth, Vale spent the remainder of her childhood on the relative safety of the planet. Vale attended [[Sydney University]] on Earth and, upon graduating, followed in her mother's footsteps and enlisted in the UNSC Navy's [[Office of Naval Intelligence]], specializing in signals intelligence.{{Ref/Reuse|Id=OVUniverse}} Following the end of the [[Human-Covenant War]] in [[2552]], Vale found the opportunity to travel to the Sangheili [[Sangheili colonies|frontier colony]] of [[Khael'mothka]], where she wandered the planet for months. The world was embroiled in the Sangheili's ongoing [[Blooding Years|civil war]], though Vale's well-being was rarely endangered as she learned who to stay away from and many of the planet's inhabitants were both tired of war and curious to see the human.{{Ref/Reuse|Id=HitD5}}

Following Nerina's death in the Battle for Earth, Vale attempted to contact her father to let Caleb know that his ex-wife had died in the [[Covenant]] attack. However, Vale learned that Caleb Vale didn't exist. Through her ONI connections, Vale discovered that Caleb Vale was actually a false identity assumed by [[Caleb Aagard]] who had been born on Luyten in the same year as her father, but the trail then ran cold. The only note in Caleb's file was that he had refused conscription in [[2517]] and then vanished. When Vale tried to find a ghost file that would explain the discrepancy, her superior claimed that it was simply a case of father and son having the same name, and then advised her in a tone that suggested that the "advice" came from someone far above both of their heads to stop wasting ONI resources and devote herself to her proper assignment.
