Just in Time for Rain

-
Ranih isn’t happy that, no sooner had she arrived home, the skies opened and heavy rain began to drench the colony. She’d enjoyed such glorious weather on Bajor, but sadly Docosie III chose this as her welcome‑home present.

It’s not as if we weren’t aware this weather was coming. It had been forecast for some time, but I don’t think we quite expected it to resemble the weather on Ferenginar so closely. On the bright side, it did remind me to make sure we pack sufficient waterproof clothing for our trip to see Rom and Leeta next week.

For his vegetable patch, James decided to water using only rainwater and set up a collection system. I suspect it will be very full, very quickly. The rain is expected to last until 0300. Not only did the Colony Development Team plan for the severe winters of Docosie, but they also prepared for downpours like this, so we have superb drainage systems.

I’d best focus on other things. This weather tends to make me feel somewhat miserable. My first host, Lela, was the same. I seem to be more susceptible since being joined.

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...
