After a brief respite aboard StarBase 118, the ''Mercury'' was sent back to the [[Menthar Corridor]] to provide support for the Starfleet Corps of Engineers team already working on repurposing [[Deep Space 10]]. However, once the ''Mercury'' arrived at DSX, they found the station seemingly deserted yet with no signs of an attack or evacuation. The away teams had already beamed over before it was soon discovered some sort of pathogen was loose aboard the station. Furthermore, it seemed at least some of the SCE team had succumbed to the infection and now roamed through the corridors as violent revenants. Compounding the situation, the ''Mercury'''s transporter systems were disabled by an overload in the biofilters from the pathogen, and an impending coronal mass ejection threatened to annihilate those aboard DSX, which remained unshielded from the lethal cosmic rays. | [[File:DsX.jpeg|thumb|400px|The ''Mercury'' arrives to find things nice and quiet aboard [[Deep Space 10|DSX]]... too quiet.]] | ||

Roshanara worked with the rest of the team to hold out as long as possible until the ''Mercury'' was able to send a second team to retrieve them and keep them in isolation aboard several shuttlecraft. While looking over the station's systems, she deduced that the SCE team may have sought refuge deep within the station, and eventually, the crew was able to rescue the few survivors and escape DSX before the coronal mass ejection hit the station, killing the remaining revenants. | Roshanara worked with the rest of the team to hold out as long as possible until the ''Mercury'' was able to send a second team to retrieve them and keep them in isolation aboard several shuttlecraft.

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 herself succumbed to injury while aboard DSX, but fortunately, she was quickly treated once back aboard the ''Mercury''.

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. | |||
Her true role was to help deliver a rescue team aboard a cloaked Romulan shuttle and stand by until the team's mission was complete. An encroaching patrol from the Pythron State Guard complicated matters, and Roshanara chose to bring aboard both a Pythron civilian and the leader of the Pythron guard after they had been incapacitated by Major {{n|Jacen|Fanel}}. The guard, known as Asar, however would not be taken easily, and knocked out Roshanara once he awoke aboard the shuttle before being stunned a second time. | |||
Once the rescue team had succeeded in their mission to not only rescue Wulfantine's mother but also expose the greater political conspiracy concocted by Wulfantine's enemies, the team was quickly beamed back to the shuttle. The two Pythrons were returned to the surface as a new chapter began in Pythron history. | |||

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. | 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.

Although he struggled with whether to intervene explicitly once he found himself back in 2390, Kells finally decided to do so after a more subtle attempt by him nearly cost Roshanara her life within a supervolcano on 83 Leonis II.

His intervention, though, required that Del first betray Roshanara's trust and confidentiality. Now that Roshanara knew the truth nearly a decade earlier than she had in an alternate future, not even Kells knew if she—and Del—could change their fates. | ||

===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''. | |||
In the wake of the galaxy-wide crisis dubbed "[[Through Open Gates]]", the ship was tasked with investigating the alleged existence and sale of an {{ma|Iconian gateway}} by Tol, owner of the [[Menthar Anchorage]]. Following Captain Kells's sudden detainment to answer questions by the JAG regarding the 83 Leonis II crisis, command of the ''Mercury'' was transferred to Commander {{n|Harrison|Ross}}, and Roshanara was named as his first officer in addition to her engineering duties. | |||
To help her coordinate her efforts between the bridge and engineering, Roshanara recommended {{n|Jenna|D'Soni}}—revived from stasis earlier in the year and formerly of the ''Constitution''-class USS ''Saratoga''—for promotion to assistant chief engineer, a position that had remained vacant in the aftermath of {{n|Graham|MacNeil}}'s death nearly one year earlier. | |||
