Thoughts of the Past

-
I was sorting out my home office, just putting things away and giving things a tidy and, as I put my copy of Anslem back on the shelf, my thoughts focused briefly on my recent meeting with Jake but then shifted to memories of Benjamin. 

Things were a little challenging after he left us to be with the Bajoran Prophets (Wormhole Aliens). As far as I know, no one has heard from him since in 2375 which will be 100 years in 2475. 

I wonder if he is still alive, maybe now as a non-corporeal being.  Trill symbionts can live 500 to 600 years,  and hosts 150 to 200 but for non-corporeal beings, like the Wormhole Aliens, time must be an entirely different concept all together.  The oldest known Trill Symbiont on record was 800, but that it's extremely rare. 

I might not see him again Orzal's lifetime but Dax might. Who knows.

Benjamin was a great friend to Curzon, Jadzia and Ezri and we benefited from his friendship and wisdom.  

I wasn't sure if I'd encounter another person like Benjamin again but, despite it being early days, I think I might have found this, in James Scott.

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.

Unexpected

Well.... That was unexpected. I visited the coffee shop this afternoon, just to get out of the house and stretch my legs.  When I got there, it was quite busy so as I was looking for a place to sit with my coffee, a voice spoke above the background noise say I could join them. I hadn't noticed who they were till I sat down.  That's when I looked at the couple sat across from me, Benjamin and Alora Bashir.  I tried to act normal but Alora picked up on it and asked if I was ok.  I thought about how to respond for what seemed like an eternity. Just as I was about reply, their coffees arrived. After a short pause, I introduced myself. Benjamin's eyes widened, similar to the infamous stare of Gowron. I then said that yes, I was Ezri but I'm Orzal now, and I live on Docosie as one of the administrators.  I told them about my life here, Ranih and our holographic cat, Jodo. I told them that I was aware they were moving here but didn't expect to possibly run into them un...
