After just over 2 years abroad in Klingon space with Isaac, Martin returned to Earth again, for the wedding of his mother to prominent political advisor George Rathbone. From his mother’s marriage, Martin gained a supportive stepfather in George, and a younger sibling, his new stepsister Lauren. He also gained two little nieces, Mary and Lucy, and a nephew, Thomas. All three are very fond of “Uncle Marty”, and look forward to his visits. After the wedding, Martin and Isaac decided to revisit Klingon space, and spent 2 years there, only to be attacked by Klingon raiders on his return, suffering severe burns on his right arm and leg while pulling Isaac to safety, which he chose to keep, as a reminder that sacrifices must always be made. While recovering Martin served as a guest lecturer at the Daystrom Institute for 3 years, and resolved that upon recovery, he would join Starfleet, in order to continue his research in safety, and to promote peaceful, cooperative sharing of culture and information by all species.
===First Assignment, USS Dauntless===
====First Mission- Yadalla Prime====
After graduating from Starfleet Academy, Martin was assigned to the USS Dauntless, CA-1553,
under the command of Nathaniel Lornak. Martin spent his first mission in Sickbay, where with
the help of a senior medical crewman, the captain, and Sarah, of all people, he managed to find a cure for a mysterious illness that was plaguing the Romulans on Yadalla Prime. This was
accompanied by the shocking discovery that Sarah had done work for Starfleet Intelligence, and
she had been working with them when she was killed.
He was awarded the Starfleet Commendation Medal and Leonard McCoy Lifesaving Cross for his work, and was incredibly happy with the impression he made on the captain and crew.
However, this did not last long, as Captain Lornak departed the ship for Acamar, his homeworld, leaving Commander Theo Caldecott as acting captain.
During his first shore leave, Martin met his Department Head, Lieutenant Lancepaul Starnault, a bright young man who seemed to have found a father figure in Martin. These feelings were mutual, as Martin considered Lancepaul to be the son he had always wanted. Martin had a great
respect for Lance, as he reminded him of himself as a young man.
