Meru's quarters, located on deck 2, are homey and comfortable, filled with plants, holophotos of friends and family, and several shelves of antique books. Her desk is usually home to multiple PADDs, so she can work on her personal research or continuing education whenever the mood strikes. Other personal effects include: | |||
**A painting of her family's kava fields, as seen from her childhood home (painted by her father). | |||
**A Bajoran prayer candle. | |||
**An antique collection of Emily Dickinson poems, purchased on Ensign Tahna's first shore leave. | |||
**A chameleon rose, known to change color according to one's feelings (gifted by Meg Bendyn). | |||

A rogue moon mysteriously appeared in the [[Tyrellian system]], on a collision course with Palanon. Freshly-promoted Lieutenant Tahna Meru joined Admiral [[Quinn Reynolds]]'s team on the Bridge in investigating the rogue moon and its origins. They were investigating the possibility that the moon might be sent back through a transwarp conduit via a series of tachyon pulses when the ''USS Kerla'' returned to the Gorkon with inconclusive lifesigns. Admiral Reynolds, Lieutenant Commander [[Ayiana Sevo]], and Lieutenant [[Gnaxac]] were investigating the runabout when they were thrown back in time to the Gorkon's time "Over There." They devised a plan to inject the ship's bio-neural circuitry with a chroniton-infused serum in order to return to the present. Upon their successful return, were able to send the tachyon pulses necessary to send the rogue moon home, while shielding the inhabited planets in the system from further damage. | A rogue moon mysteriously appeared in the [[Tyrellian system]], on a collision course with Palanon.
