Centering her operations in [[New Tyne]] on the independent world of [[Venezia]], Forge often worked along the [[Via Casilina Trade Route]]. Since about [[2500]], Forge used the {{Class|Mariner|transport ship}} ''[[Ace of Spades]]'' as her vessel of operations. ''Ace'' was crewed by a handful of individuals that she trusted, including former Marine [[Cade]]. All of the money she earned from her career went towards upgrading her ship. In around [[2555]], Forge was in the mining slums of [[Aleria]] when siblings [[Lessa]] and [[Niko]] attempted to hack into her [[COM pad|commpad]]. Rather than turn them other to the authorities, Forge recruited both of them into her crew. Forge found success in her career, creating what she described as a "''lovely little circle of profit''", as her jobs provided her profit to keep her crew satisfied, her ship operational, and her informants eager to continue dealing with her. Forge soon became one of New Tyne's most notable salvagers. She often traded with [[Nor Fel]], a [[T'vaoan]] who owned [[Nor's Clearing House|a clearing house]] business that bought goods obtained by Forge. The two enjoyed a mutually beneficial relationship, with Fel providing Forge with information on large salvage finds before her other clients. Rarely did Forge report her findings to the UNSC under their [[Salvage Directive]]. | Centering her operations in [[New Tyne]] on the independent world of [[Venezia]], Forge often worked along the [[Via Casilina Trade Route]].

In [[2556|December of 2556]], Forge participated in a four-way bidding war for a small piece of [[Forerunner]] navigational databoard at a small bazaar on [[Komoya]]. After winning the bidding war, she sold the databoard for a large profit, despite the damage the device had sustained. Shortly after, Forge discovered information on a Forerunner [[Luminary]], which she began working towards locating. Around this time, she took on [[Kip Silas]] as a recruit engineer among her crew. In [[2557#January|January 2557]], after spending six weeks away on their last job, Forge and her crew returned to Venezia to sell their salvage, including a [[stasis field]] generator to Fel and a small lot of [[Type-25 Spiker]]s and [[Type-51 carbine]]s to a [[Sangheili]], bringing in a decent amount of profit. | In [[2556|December of 2556]], Forge participated in a four-way bidding war for a small piece of [[Forerunner]] navigational databoard at a small bazaar on [[Komoya]].

Forge has been described as reckless and volatile Forge found enjoyment in her career as a salvagers, believing that she was good at it. She created her own way to success in the business, never hesitating to take more drastic actions to remain one of [[New Tyne]]'s most notable salvagers. Forge presented herself as [[neutral]], believing her business depended on it. She avoided politics, [[religion]], and [[Insurrectionist|rebellions]], though she sometimes recalled how [[Forge family|her family]] would have disagreed with her refusal to take a side. | Forge has been described as reckless and volatile Forge found enjoyment in her career as a salvagers, believing that she was good at it.

Despite her success as a salvager, Forge found that her career often left her engaging in sales and transactions that left her with feelings of doubt and misgivings, believing that these deals betrayed what honor, integrity, and loyalty she had left. She referred to these dealings as dark karmic tally marks that put a few kinks in her otherwise successful and enjoyable career. Each time she sold weapons to a former member of the [[Covenant]], Forge felt a nagging sense of betrayal, despite the empire's demise and her lack of loyalties to the Unified Earth Government. To avoid such feelings during the deals, Forge would always have a few drinks at [[Stavros' Middle East Asian Cuisine and Bar|Stavros' bar]] in New Tyne after ending the transaction. | Despite her success as a salvager, Forge found that her career often left her engaging in sales and transactions that left her with feelings of doubt and misgivings, believing that these deals betrayed what honor, integrity, and loyalty she had left.
