Reality V Fantasy

When I look across at this sight on our sofa in the lounge, I have to remind myself that our feline friend is a holographic program and isn't real. But the program is so sophisticated, I struggle to remember that little fact. 

Since the invention of the holodeck, there has been numerous documented cases of where the dangers of it's use have been put in the spotlight from accidents, deaths and inappropriate behaviour.

It could be argued that this program, known as Feline Simulations V1, has its own issues, the main one being emotional attachment to the cat and the potential issues as a result. 

I can't deny it. I am fond of him. We will have to keep ourselves grounded to the fact that he isn't real.

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.

Panpipes

Image
Rahni and I went to a concert last night. The music was something we had recently heard and become interested in, panpipe music from the Andes (that's on Earth) We recently heard a piece of this music whilst at a local café and we found it strangely captivating and beautiful.  The piece we heard was called "Amores Hallaras" by the artist "Incantation". The title is Spanish and translates as " You will find (other/more) loves ," often used in songs and poetry to suggest finding new affection after loss, meaning "you'll find another love" or "many loves you will find" .  Ranih loves a tune called "Cacharpaya" (primarily means a farewell party or send-off, often with music and dancing, especially in Andean regions of South America.) All in all, a very enjoyable evening.
