Normality Resumes, but the Past Resurfaces.

-
Normality recommences today for my wife, and I enjoy saying this, and I have returned to work as well. There’s plenty waiting for me, especially the proposals for the colony expansion.

Regarding the expansion, new information has come to light, information that has left most of us unsettled, particularly because it was kept from us for reasons that still haven’t been fully explained.

One of the proposals involved establishing a satellite colony across the ocean, east of our current settlement. However, the newly released data reveals that evidence of a previous small settlement on Docosie was discovered during the initial survey.

The site isn’t visible from the surface; the ruins lie several metres below the current ground level, directly beneath the area we had been considering for the second colony. There are alternative locations, of course, but this revelation has put everything on hold for now.

The ruins themselves are not extensive, covering roughly 930 m², one of the survey team compared it to the average size of a Roman villa built in England on Earth between the 1st and 4th centuries CE. They have not yet been excavated, only deep‑scanned and recorded.

We talked about all of this at length over dinner at James and Jean’s this evening. It’s easily the top talking point in the colony right now, and I suspect it will remain so for some time.

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...
