|* Following a three month leave on Vulcan, Saveron was assigned to the USS Mercury. | |||
|- | |||
|* During a mission then Captain [[Rhul,_Tallis|Tallis Rhul]] reveals that the Mercury is also under orders from Starfleet Intelligence to undertake secret reconnaisence of Cardassian resources and military, using the ship's advanced sensor pod. This causes division amongst the crew and Saveron is firmly of the opinion that such is unethical and wishes to have no part in it. Commander [[Parker,Hannibal|Hannibal Parker]] and Commander [[Tobias_walker|Tobias Walker]] advocated expanding the Mercury's paultry offensive capabilities in case of attack. Saveron pointed out that to do so could make the Mercury appear as a greater threat, one that the Cardassians would feel they had to answer, and that if their spy mission was revealed, it could well trigger interstellar war. This led to a heated discussion with Saveron and Parker rapidly polarising to opposite sides of the debate which the two felt compelled to continue in the corridor after Captain Tallis had dismissed them. No agreement was reached, and it seemed to mark the beginning of sour relations between the pacifist and the warrior. | |||
|- | |||
|* Political considerations aside, Saveron was always responsible for the health of the crew and at that time was managing then Lieutenant[[Blake,_Sky|Skyleena Blake's]] pregnancy which was complicated by stress and depression and he felt that he could offer advice both as a medical officer and as a parent. | |||
|- | |||
|* The appareance of the Menthar Anchorage, a cloaked and independant trading centre in the Menthar Corridor was a surprise to the crew, but not nearly as much as a virulent and potentially deadly case of Aldebaran Lunar Flu that the crew contracted due to an unquarantined shipment of Aldebaran musk rats. Unfortunately Saveron was one of the first to be infected and thus it was with decreasing efficiency that he worked from inside a containment in Sickbay with the infected crew whilst Lieutenant [[Ba'Eli]] worked from outside to synthesise a cure. Saveron acknowledges that, were it not for the Mercury's [[EMH(Mercury)|EMH]] the worst affected would likely not have survived; including himself. | |||
|- | |||
|* The political situation in the Corridor was complicated by an attack on a Cardassian outpost by what was apparently a Federation ship. However the name, the ''[[USS_Nimitz|USS Nimitz]]'' was recognised by some of his colleagues as a ship that was captured by the Borg and assimilated. However it was not behaving in typical Borg fashion. The USS Mercury's encounter with the Nimitz led to the discovery that these Borg were a splinter group with their own collective, and Saveron's first ever encounter with a Borg Queen. His conversations with her intrigued him, as he sought to plant the seeds of an idea that might reduce the Borg's virulence. | |||
|- | |||
|* Shortly thereafter Saveron resigned his Starfleet commission for personal reasons and returned to Vulcan. It was over one Terran year later that Saveron began looking for a posting amongst the stars again and Captain Kells offered him a civilian posting aboard the Mercury once more. | |||
