The Meowing Welcome Committee.

-
We arrived home late last night—just after 2300 hours, exactly as the transport captain predicted. We docked with our orbital platform, disembarked, and finally stepped back onto familiar ground.

Ranih let me stop by to check in with my colleagues on the late shift while she beamed down with our luggage. She promised not to activate Jodo until I got there, which felt like a fair compromise.

All was well in my absence, and James had managed not to get himself into any trouble. Mildly disappointing, really.I beamed down about thirty minutes after Ranih. 

While we were away, Jodo’s program had been running a simulated cattery, so when we finally activated him, he was ecstatic. He meowed almost nonstop for over an hour, weaving around our legs like he was trying to fuse himself to us.

Once he settled, we headed to bed and left the unpacking for the morning.Most of today has been spent doing exactly that—sorting, tidying, and getting ourselves back into home mode—until it was time to meet James and Jean at their place for dinner. 

Now it’s late, we’re finally home again, and both of us are back to work tomorrow. Plenty of catching up awaits.

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...
