Inside the Normal Range Barely.

-
I’ve been at work for most of the day, though taking it far easier than I normally would. That’s on strict instructions from both my wife and the medical centre, and frankly, neither is a force I’m inclined to argue with.

Since the initial tests yesterday, my isoboramine levels have improved, though only just inside the normal range. The medical team would prefer them sitting comfortably in the middle rather than clinging to the edge, but progress is progress.

Isoboramine levels can be influenced by all sorts of factors, stress, fatigue, and viral infections among them, and it appears I’ve picked up the latter. I feel generally fine, but the tiredness is unmistakable, and the low levels are a predictable side effect while my immune system deals with whatever I brought home.

It’s suspected I picked up the virus either during our time in Scotland or on the transport back. Nothing serious, just inconvenient timing.

Even so, I’ve managed to sort through a good portion of the files needed for the upcoming archaeological investigation of the Bajoran site. Everything is now organised and copies have been sent to both the Federation team and the Bajoran Government, ready for when the work begins.

For now, I should get back to resting before Ranih appears and chastises me for wandering off-task again.

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...
