After working as a mercenary for a while, she eventually hired out as a courier, ostensibly to transport a genetically altered ovum to the First Family of The Realm. When she learned that she was pregnant with the fertilized ovum and realized that she would not be allowed to live after delivering the embryo, she took refuge on the colony planet Botany Bay where she was reunited with her Canadian friends and their family. Friday settled comfortably into the role of frontier wife and mother, holding many civic leadership positions and taking an active role in raising her own and others' children.

Friday did not learn until after Hartley Baldwin's death that he had arranged for her conception, using among many others his own genetic material and that of Joe and Gail Greene. He had intended to raise her as his own, and had in fact arranged adoption papers and retroactive birth certificate for her.

Friday's aliases were Marjorie Baldwin, Friday Jones, and Marjorie Friday. The name on her adoption papers was Marjorie Baldwin; she used this alias not knowing it was her legal name. (When Friday was dealing with J.B. while using this name, he mispronounced it several different ways: Bedlam, Belgium, Bulgrin.)
