Although her plan at purifying the vessel's water was successful, her actions ultimately fomented distrust against her and her family throughout the vessel. While Maureen's mutiny failed, Kamal nevertheless chose to trust her math and go through with the plan anyways. Hastings was dead-set against her, and used the codes that she had given him against her at a critical moment. However, the one thing that she couldn't account for her was human nature. Although Kamal had her doubts, she told her that while she may have made mistakes in the past when it came to her family, she did not make mistakes when it came to her job. Maureen quickly put her plan into motion. She used this information against him to convince him to lock out the security team that had been sent to the bridge to stop her. From the info they gathered, she learned that Neil Caird, the security officer assigned to the bridge, owed his life to a man named Anton Penn who was still trapped on the planet. She worked together with both her family, as well as the devious " Dr. She hatched her own plan to purify the vessel's water, but in order to do had to take command of the bridge. One of Maureen's boldest actions was leading a mutiny against the acting captain of the Resolute, Captain Kamal, upon learning that the crew of the vessel planned to leave behind those stranded on the amber planet due to most of the vessel's water being poisoned and not having enough water to sustain more than a skeleton crew. She deferred her dream to have a family, but was later able to fulfill it. Maureen always dreamed of going into space, gazing up at the stars through a telescope as a child. (" Impact") This later came back to haunt her, when the information she bartered turned out to be security codes, which were used against her by Hastings, an intelligence officer of the Resolute. In order to secure him a spot, she traded secret information with an individual in order to falsify his test results. In one such instance, she was determined that her son Will would join her family on the 24th Mission despite Will having failed the stress test required of all colonists on the mission.

It is up to her to find a way off the strange planet on which she and her family have crashed, but her greatest challenge is forgiving her husband and rekindling the love they once had. When this happens, however, Maureen feels very uncomfortable, because she knows she is the smartest and most experienced person she has ever met, and has a very hard time entrusting the lives of her family to anyone else. There are some things that she can't fix, however, and must leave the problems to the rest of the family. She’s convinced there is no problem that can’t be solved if you apply your mind to it. She wants her children to have a chance at a new life on a better world. A driven and demanding woman both in and outside her home, it's Maureen who makes the decision to bring her family into space. Maureen is a mother and an aerospace engineer with a fearsome intellect.
