The Dax Committee of Boredom.
It’s been a dangerously quiet day. Most of our work is up to date, and the colony expansion on the northern perimeter is entirely on hold while the survey team does their thing.

The trouble with a lull is that it gives the mind room to wander. And when you’re a joined Trill, your mind doesn’t just wander, it brings along a committee of previous hosts. Naturally, they all decided to chime in on the exact same theme: How to Distract Yourself When Bored.
Left to my own devices, I tend to get agitated. Case in point: earlier today, I found myself in the corner of my home office, actively standing on my head.
Emony, being an Olympic-level gymnast, used to do this for relaxation. My symbiont apparently felt compelled to try it again. But just like Ezri, who once fell for the exact same muscle-memory trap... I just ended up with a massive headache.
Tomorrow promises actual mental stimulation, thankfully, as we should finally get the expansion survey updates and make some real headway.
James, on the other hand, has had no such existential crises today. A cargo vessel arrived yesterday needing maintenance, and he and his team have been happily swamped with work. Some people have all the luck.
