Holographic Companionship

At the moment, no one is currently permitted to have a pet, especially one that has the tendency to roam freely. So, we have decided to take advantage of another feature of our home's built in holographic projection system. All the homes and buildings in the colony have a built in holographic projection system. It has a variety of purposes including child care, medical assistance, and entertainment. The medical assistance is used very rarely when you consider how quick the response time is from the main medical facilities. We used the system recently to simulate some furniture we were having made by some very talented craftsmen who live on the colony. The holographic projection system allowed us to visualise where the furniture would go and how it would look.

Anyway, we have decided to use the system and create a tuxedo tabby cat, who we have named Jodo. The program is very realistic, programmed with authentic cat behavioural information. There is one element Which reminds you that its just a simulation, and that is you never actually have to empty a litter tray. There is one, the cat will use it, but 30 seconds after they have "done their business", the program resets the litter tray back to fresh litter. 

Dependant on how this goes, and if they do decide to allow residents to have pets, we may decide to have a real cat. We went with a Tuxedo Tabby as its the same breed of cat that a friend of mine has on Earth and we both adored him when we met them. 

I've attached a photo of Jodo. He's very cute.

What Do We Know

Image
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

Image
Myself and my fiancée, 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.
