As March began, most of the senior staff remained off-ship on an unexpected and unofficial mission to rescue Eyas Wulfantine’s mother from a trumped-up death sentence on his homeworld. The rescue parties split into three groups and sowed chaos across the planet — sometimes overt and sometimes covert — as the group under the charge of Eyas made its way closer and closer to his mother. Meanwhile, the skeleton crew aboard the Mercury, under the command of Lt. JG Richards, the chief science officer, answered a distress call in the [[JB-437]] system from a vessel that turned out to be an old ''Constitution'' class starship, the USS ''Saratoga'', that had been lost and adrift in the gravity well of a gas giant in the Menthar corridor for one hundred years. Finally, Deep Space 10 (DSX) officially came online under the command of Commander {{n|Melitta|Herodion}}. | As March began, most of the senior staff remained off-ship on an unexpected and unofficial mission to rescue Eyas Wulfantine’s mother from a trumped-up death sentence on his homeworld.

===SD 239004: Grand Opening=== | |||
The rescue of Eyas Wulfantine’s mother was a success, but the senior staff of the ''Mercury'' was left with the not-so-minimal task of sneaking back to the Menthar Corridor. After this had been accomplished, the crew settled in around Deep Space 10 for some shore leave. | |||
DSX had come fully online while the senior staff was in absentia, and many of them used the opportunity to explore, meet the new residents, and acquaint themselves with the officers who had recently been assigned there. Events of note during shore leave included an experimental surgery upon Lieutenant Commander {{n|Roshanara|Rahman}} and the reappearance of the [[Ring]], last encountered by the {{USS|Drake}} years before, around a planet in the [[Omicron Geminorum]] system. Meanwhile, some of the new junior lieutenants bonded; Captain {{n|Quinn|Reynolds}} discovered an old friend; and Lieutenant Commander {{n|Isaac|Bale}} and Major {{n|Jacen|Fanel}}, the ''Mercury''’s two hardened warriors, discussed the noble art of fatherhood. | |||
