Roshanara Rahman/Mercury: Difference between revisions

On SD 238909.16, Roshanara was promoted to lieutenant commander and assigned to the [[USS Mercury|''Mercury'']] as chief engineer. She became acquainted with one of the ship's medical officers, {{n|Niccolò|del Vedova}}, through her medical check-in, and introduced herself informally to her engineering staff the night before her first official day as chief of the department.

===Hell of a First Day===

The crew did not have too much time to investigate further as the ship was rocked by several explosives the following morning after the ship's captain {{n|Aron|Kells}} and several senior officers had been seemingly kidnapped by the Klingons. Among the most heavily damaged areas was main engineering, where 16 engineers perished, including {{n|Graham|MacNeil}}, the assistant chief engineer. Had Roshanara not remained on the upper level when the explosives went off, it is likely she too would have died.

===Things That Go Bump in the Night===

Roshanara herself succumbed to injury while aboard DSX, but fortunately, she was quickly treated once back aboard the ''Mercury''. Yet it was the headaches she had begun experiencing in late 2389 that were continuing to bother her. She kept with the medication Dr. Del Vedova had originally prescribed, but she was finding that she was needing to take more of it to be effective.  

Meanwhile, her colleague {{n|Eyas|Wulfantine}} had learned that his mother was to be put to death and began preparations for a rescue mission with the aid of some of his shipmates. Roshanara was initially hesitant about getting involved in the internal matters of another world, and she wasn't particularly close to Wulfantine outside of a professional context for that matter. However, her friend Lidia Ivanova shared a deep bond with the Pythron, and after an intense conversation with the spirited security officer, Roshanara was soon aboard a civilian transport, disguised as a lowly servent for a visiting dignitary.

===Premonition===

Meanwhile, Captain {{n|Aron|Kells}} underwent a second transformation into his 60-year-old self, through which he remembers the ultimate fate of Roshanara's deteriorating medical condition, unfortunately accelerated by the surgery performed by Ven and Del. By 2392, he had been forced to relieve her of duty and ultimately agreed with a recommendation by Del at that time for Roshanara to be medically discharged from the service. By 2404, he tracked her down to a distant Dopterian ocean colony, where she had been hiding from the intrusions of greater society that had wrecked havoc on her.

===New Paths Forged===

Confining herself to her quarters and engineering over shore leave, the reclusive engineer contemplated the truth of her personal crisis. A possible answer then presented itself through the return of {{n|Isaac|Bale}} to the ''Mercury''.
