In 281 AL, Wolcott graduated from the Royal Manticoran Naval Academy on Saganami Island with Mai-ling Jackson. In 1903 PD, she held the rank of Ensign and was assigned to the heavy cruiser HMS Fearless (CA-286) as a junior tactical officer, her first assignment out of the Academy. Wolcott brought Admiral Raoul Courvosier's baggage down to Grayson when a Grayson officer attempted to sexually assault her. At first, she was too embarrassed to talk to her ship's executive officer, Lieutenant Commander Andreas Venizelos, but Lieutenants Prescott Tremaine and Rafael Cardones persuaded her to tell him. When she told Venizelos, she was brought before Captain Honor Harrington and told about her harassment at the hands of the Grayson officers. An investigation was started afterwards.
