:Roshanara met Javed in 2380 as she was finishing her master's degree at the Starfleet Academy annex on Beta Ursae Minor II. The two began dating and decided to continue the relationship after Roshanara was assigned to the ''Shanghai''. The long-distance relationship lasted for another two years, with the couple reuniting three to four times a year when the ''Shanghai'' returned to the sector.

A few months later when they were to meet again, Roshanara was excited to tell Javed of her recent promotion to lieutenant junior grade and an offer to sign aboard the ''Tempest'', a more advanced ship that offered further career opportunities for her. Truthfully, though, she was seriously considering remaining on the ''Shanghai'' as she was now eligible to bring family aboard with her promotion, and she hoped that Javed would consider moving their relationship towards those steps.

:Yet while Javed indeed had grown closer to Roshanara, he reacted very differently to this newfound intimacy. He had always missed her, but now, he felt that the physical separation was finally too great for him. He was frustrated with dates over subspace and socializing with other couples without his own companion. The future he saw of being separated from her for an unknown number of years further down the line frightened him, and he broke off their relationship in a letter. Shortly thereafter, Roshanara accepted the offer from the ''Tempest''.

:During the accident, Montanez was forced to eject the warp core, effectively subjecting Reez and Roshanara, who were trapped within the isolated core compartment, to painful, horrific deaths once the actively feeding plasma coolant system ruptured. Fortunately, Roshanara's quick thinking protected the two engineers from the subsequent flood of plasma coolant. After the accident, Montanez received a commendation for his decisive action that saved the lives of over 300 people aboard the ''Tempest'', with no casualties incurred among his engineering crew. He last spoke to Roshanara one month after the accident during her long-term recovery at Medical Starbase 253.

:Some people admire doctors while others abhor them. Roshanara doesn't fall into either group, but after her time spent with many doctors during her long recovery, she has grown wary of their intentions, especially those who seem overtly "caring."

:While not close, Roshanara had developed a polite relationship with Kells since arriving aboard the ''Mercury'' on SD 238909. However, Kells—already a victim of a temporal transformation that aged him into his 35-year-old self—experienced another transformation on SD 239005.03, aging him to his 60-year-old self, complete with the accompanying memories of the years he had seen in an alternate future.
:While duty-bound by the Temporal Prime Directive, what Kells remembered in regards to Roshanara's fate, as well as that of their mutual friend Del Vedova, over the next 25 years pushed him to intervene now that he was given a second chance. The intervention, though, tests Roshanara's friendship with Del Vedova, and whether or not she can escape the fate Kells witnessed—or if she is destined for a worser fate—remains to be seen.

:Having both been assigned to the ''Mercury'' at the same time, Roshanara and Danielle met while waiting for the ship's arrival to [[StarBase 118]]. Seldom seen without her trademark smile, Danielle shares Roshanara's propensity to tinker with anything that has a circuit, and for Danielle particularly, anything that can fly. The junior engineering officer is assigned to shuttlebay ops, in charge of maintaining the ''Mercury's'' complement of auxiliary craft. Though she's been through her share of precarious situations while previously aboard the {{USS|Independence|A}} and {{USS|Tiger|A}}, Danielle still can be a little unsure of herself at times. Roshanara hopes to build the young woman's confidence, even if that means pushing her to the plate a little more forcefully than just a nudge.

:Rawden's made a good impression on Roshanara, although she hopes he can remember to stop calling her "sir" eventually. With his "can do" spirit and eagerness to be helpful, the young man reminds her of what she was like a decade or so ago, which only makes her more determined to ensure he doesn't have to learn about the dangers of being a Starfleet engineer and officer the hard way as she did.

After the deaths of assistant chief engineer {{n|Graham|MacNeil}} and other senior engineers in a horrific bombing on her first day as chief, she relied on then-Ensign Thomas to help rebuild the department in the aftermath of the devastation. A workaholic with a tendency to worry about the little things, Thomas soon discovered that his new chief appreciated his attention to detail and wouldn't turn down his offer to put in extra hours, even during shore leave. Before the ''Mercury'' was to depart on her next mission in December 2389, Roshanara was informed by Thomas that he had been reassigned suddenly to the newly-commissioned {{USS|Vigilant}}. While she was sad to see him go so soon, she had no doubt he'd soon make a name for himself as an excellent chief engineer.

Efili was actually a sentient AI, and with Breeman's experience with such rogue programs, the engineers successfully transferred the AI to a contained environment for further joint study.
