 ::'''Dogar:''' ''"No, *you* knew it was going to be this way. And I... I was foolish for going along with it instead of having us move on with our lives as we should have."''

-: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. At their final reunion, they spent an intimate holiday on {{ma|Casperia Prime}}, where they grew closer to one another. 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. However, while Javed indeed had also grown closer to Roshanara, he reacted very differently. 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''.

 :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." In contrast, Dr. Del Vedova, or "Del" as she calls him, surprised her by both his morbid sense of humor and his blunt bedside manner. Still, he seemed genuinely interested in knowing more about her beyond what was in her medical file, and with those first seeds of trust planted, Roshanara felt comfortable opening up to him, and the two developed a natural dynamic.
-* '''{{n|Ian|West}}''': A human astrobiologist and science officer.
+* '''{{n|Danielle|Vistain}}''': A human engineering officer.
-:Having both been assigned to the ''Mercury'' at the same time, Roshanara and West shared a cup of coffee before the ship's arrival at [[StarBase 118]]. A confident man from his extensive education and record of achievements before joining Starfleet, West soon worked with Roshanara to resolve the mysterious computer glitches that plagued the ship after its departure from the starbase.
+: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.
 * '''{{n|Dre'lith|Chaun}}''': An Andorian pilot.
 :Confident, persistent, and shameless, Chaun finished his previous assignment aboard a ship with a nearly all-Vulcan crew and was looking forward to serving aboard the ''Mercury'' and particularly with the female members of the crew. He eavesdropped on Roshanara and {{n|Danielle|Vistain}}'s conversation at StarBase 118 and introduced himself to his new shipmates but was unsuccessful at getting them to spend some time with him in a holosuite adventure. Still, he's not one to give up that easily, much to Roshanara's annoyance.
-* '''{{n|Rick|Rawden}}''': A young human engineer/tactical officer.
+* '''{{n|Rick|Rawden}}''': A human engineering/tactical officer.
 :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.
 * '''{{n|Isaac|Bale}}''': An intense Betazoid intelligence officer.
 :Bale first made himself known to Roshanara when he programed the ship's computer to perform a series of legally—if not morally—questionable actions to help him deal with a couple of assassins that were traveling aboard the ''Mercury''. However, he was also the first person to respond to her call for help immediately after the bombing in main engineering on SD 238910.22, and although she isn't quite sure what to make of him, he seems like a man with a sense of duty, albeit a duty he defines for himself.

+* '''{{n|Kael|Thomas}}''': Chief engineer of the {{USS|Vigilant}}.
+::'''Thomas:''' ''"Commander, I have the report you asked for."''
+::'''Rahman:''' ''"Good. Add it to the official maintenance request."''
+::'''Thomas:''' ''"It is....extensive. But it's nothing that can't be taken care of while docked."''

+::'''Rahman:''' ''"You don't trust the station personnel to take care of the ''Mercury'' with the same dedication that we do?"''
+::'''Thomas:''' ''"Well...no..I mean. Just to make sure they are on track-"''
+:::She laughed, interrupting him.
+::'''Rahman:''' ''"Well, I certainly don't. But I need to stay here and wrap up the final report. I'm still waiting for Petty Officer Garry to return with the final inventory. I imagine the captain will be calling shore leave soon, but if you'd like to put in some overtime, go aboard the starbase and meet with their engineering head. I suspect if we ingratiate ourselves with them a bit, the repairs might happen a little more quickly... and with a little more care."''
+::'''Thomas:''' ''"Understood Sir."''
+::'''Rahman:''' ''"And when you do get a hold of them, lieutenant, it'd probably be best not to imply you doubt their conviction... to their faces at least."''

+:Thomas served as part of Roshanara's staff when she first arrived on the ''Mercury'' on SD 238909. 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.
+* '''{{n|Kevin|Breeman}}''': Chief engineer of [[StarBase 118 Ops]].
+:A veteran of the fleet, Breeman worked with Roshanara and Thomas in late 2389 while the ''Mercury'' was docked for repairs at StarBase 118 to find a solution to the [[Efili]] "problem" that had been the source of a cascade of computer glitches aboard the ship. 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.
