A Gift

-
Ranih got me a gift today. It's taken me completely by surprise. I asked if there was an occasion I wasn't aware of but no. She simply said, "because I wanted to, and I love you."  I love her so much. 

It's a beautiful ring for my right hand. It's made from Tungsten carbide, a super-hard, dense composite material made of tungsten and carbon. I did a bit of research on it, as things like this interest me and more so now I have the memories and scientific curiosity of Jadzia. 

Tungsten Carbide is often mixed with a colbalt binder (cemented carbide), creating exceptional wear resistance, high stiffness, heat tolerance, and compressive strength, making it ideal for cutting tools, armor, industrial dies, and jewelry. It's significantly harder and stiffer than steel, second only to diamond in hardness, allowing it to maintain sharp edges and resist abrasion in demanding industrial applications. 

It's a beautiful ring.

What Do We Know

Well, I've done a little bit of research and Rom is still the current Grand Nagus of the Ferengi Alliance at the ripe age of 137 with his wife Leeta (never quote a lady's age). From what I have read, he has made a few reforms to Ferengi society and the Rules of Acquisition. I won't go into details here, but suffice to say, they look like they are definitely an improvement with room to grow. I wonder if he has time to see an old friend and if so, it would make me the first Dax ever to visit Ferenginar.

who am I?

It's me, Dax. I'm Orzal, the 10th host of the Dax Symbiont. I followed on from Ezri in 2462, she was 108. To say that it's an honour to be the current host is an understatement.  I met my fiancée, Ranih, in 2466, just four years later and I proposed to her, as the sun rose over the Fa'hari Mountains on Trill, early this year. Our wedding is next year in the summer. Lots to do plenty to plan and sort. So, we live and work on the colony, our home for the foreseeable future. In my job, I do get a slight perk. Every third week, get to work from our orbital station. From there I enjoy a view of Docosie III and any amazing ships that visit.  Best get back to work - Dax.

Docosie III - New Beginnings

-

Myself and my fiancé, Ranih have just moved to this new colony to start a new life together. Ranih, who is already an accomplished teacher, will be joining the education department to teach children under the age of 10. I, a well trained and experienced administrator and diplomat, will be joining the main administrative centre for the colony.  Docosie III is on the very edge of Federation space. Quite the distance from our Homeworld of Trill. It might take time to get used to living here but so far, things are going well.  I plan to use this journal to document our lives here as we embark on new beginnings for both of us.
