Sometime before 1907 PD, Jourdain was a People's Commissioner assigned to the light cruiser PNS Vaubon, commanded by Commander Warner Caslet. Vaubon's officers, Commander Caslet included, soon recognized that Jourdain was a fairly decent person in comparison with other People's Commissioners. It was Jourdain who, recognizing the usefulness of Shannon Foraker's technical skills, began to turn a blind eye to the officer's tendency to use pre-revolutionary forms of address. Upon Jourdain's recomendations, other Commissioners who served along Foraker (such as Everard Honeker) also took to ignore her speech lapses. (HH5, HH6, HH7)
