Though trained extensively in combat, she ultimately worked as a military magitek engineer far from the front lines for two years. This is not to say, however, that she saw no combat. More than once, she was stationed at an outpost where she would have to assist in defence against incursions from meddling adventurers of Eorzeans looking to keep themselves from the Empire's rule. Her will to continue on her path, however, started to weaken as she saw the resistance the Eorzeans would put up in the name of freedom. She began to realize they neither wanted nor needed what Garlemald was bringing to their doorstep, and fought more Eorzeans than beastmen. This caused her resolve to weaken further over time, though she kept faithful to her duties. Such weak resolve, however, was noted by her superiors, and so she failed to advance to a station where her intellect would have served a more fulfilling role. | Though trained extensively in combat, she ultimately worked as a military magitek engineer far from the front lines for two years.

After two years, she was present - and fought in - the Battle of Carteneau Flats. Though she worked a good deal with keeping magitek reapers and other such weapons functional and operating to batter and bruise the Eorzean Alliance's line, she was also forced into her fair share of combat situations both to defend herself and on the offensive from time to time. At this point, her resolve to continue in the war had reached its lowest point, and she even harboured thoughts of desertion, so great was her doubt. However, she had very little time to really think on it in the midst of the battle, especially when Dalamud burst open above the battlefield. She was nearly obliterated when one of the spires from Dalamud fell and destroyed the fortifications behind which she and her Cohort were operating at the time Bahamut was released. The resulting ceruleum explosions from destroyed magitek and reserves left her stunned, gravely wounded, and half-conscious as the Elder Primal ravaged the landscape, but also kept her hidden from the greatest of the devastation behind the selfsame spire. | After two years, she was present - and fought in - the Battle of Carteneau Flats.

She spent a good deal of time among the crew of the "White Coeurl," especially with her new friend, Aiouxdaux, acting as their "inside" source of knowledge on Garlemald, its technology, and combat practices. It served to keep them safe on more than one occasion when engaging Garlean vessels, and in repurposing stolen Garlean tech and weaponry for their own needs. They worked and sailed as privateers for a few years, taking down Empire and pirate vessels alike. Corelyn found herself taken by the thrill and adventure of life at sea and fondly regards those memories as some of the best times of her life. She made great strides in her efforts to learn more of Eorzea, and Aiouxdaux helped her by creating an alchemically-treated patch that would hide her third eye and allow her to blend in when they were on land. Wearing this patch, of course, stifled her third eye and its benefit to her, leading her to realise her eyesight was somewhat flawed without it. Thus, she sought out corrective eyewear, and wears it not just as a means of compensating for her hidden third eye, but often even with it exposed to keep her senses as sharp as possible. | She spent a good deal of time among the crew of the "White Coeurl," especially with her new friend, Aiouxdaux, acting as their "inside" source of knowledge on Garlemald, its technology, and combat practices.

However, after a number of years sailing with them, disaster struck and left the ship decimated, its crew and captain almost all dead, and Corelyn stranded, separated from any survivors, as, at the time, she had been experimenting with a prototype long-range boarding mechanism and had used it to escape before the fateful crash, the glider-like contraption launching her up into the air to witness the horrific events as she coasted off and away from the sounds of screams and the cracking of the ship's hull. After the fateful crash, she was rescued by a merchant vessel as she drifted on her device as a makeshift raft and taken to Limsa Lominsa where she took up a room in the Drowned Wench, having officially registered herself as "defector" under the Thalassocracy, though she remains hidden for fear of people's - and her own - fear of her own people and the persecution she could face at the hands of either. | However, after a number of years sailing with them, disaster struck and left the ship decimated, its crew and captain almost all dead, and Corelyn stranded, separated from any survivors, as, at the time, she had been experimenting with a prototype long-range boarding mechanism and had used it to escape before the fateful crash, the glider-like contraption launching her up into the air to witness the horrific events as she coasted off and away from the sounds of screams and the cracking of the ship's hull.
