The Bembow, the Bajorans, and the Burning Hasperat.

The Bembow arrived in the Docosie system this morning. She made a brief stop at our orbital platform, which gave me the chance to go aboard. They’re an unusual design, the Duderstadt‑class,  based on a much older vessel, the Wasp‑class interceptor.

Sadly, I was only afforded an hour onboard, but it was enough to satisfy my curiosity. She departed shortly afterwards to begin her tests.

The Bajoran community on Docosie is preparing a welcome for the Archaeological Group: traditional decorations, drinks, and food. It sounds wonderful. They’re a small community, but incredibly active.

I’m hoping the Hasperat is nice and spicy, as it’s one of my favourite Bajoran dishes. Jadzia loved them too, but Ezri wasn’t fond of the spiciness and often had the replicator tone it down.

I’ve enjoyed spicy foods since long before being joined with Dax. My mother’s Fynhar Curry was seriously good,  but dangerous for the uninitiated.

I wonder if Jean would ever attempt making it. I’d love to see how James handles it, given his claims of having a high tolerance for spice. I hope we get the chance to find out how he copes with Fynhar Curry.
