A Blessing from the Prophets.

-
Today, we said a bittersweet farewell to the Bajoran Archaeology Group. Our local Bajoran community, true to form, threw a magnificent send-off party that everyone thoroughly enjoyed.

Near the end of the evening, Dezi Zoler, Kira Nerys's granddaughter, approached me. She thanked me warmly for my help with the excavation work and for handling the mountain of administrative support required to pull it off. 

With a knowing smile, she handed me a PADD and told me to tap the screen. There, flickering to life, was a video message from Kira herself.

"Hello, old friend. I wish I could come and see you in person, but sadly, I am rather frail these days. My granddaughter sent me a picture of you and your beautiful wife, Ranih. You make a lovely couple. Thank you for looking after Dezi for me. May the Prophets guide you and watch over you always." 

Tears well'd up in my eyes. Hearing her voice immediately transported me back, unlocking lifetimes of memories shared with Kira from my days as both Jadzia and Ezri. It was a profound moment of connection across time. 

I thanked Dezi from the bottom of my heart and asked her to send Kira my deepest love and best wishes.

Now, the festivities have ended and the group has gone. I am sitting alone in my back garden, watching the stars and quietly reminiscing. A flood of happy memories from Jadzia and Ezri's lives are washing over me, and tonight, they feel closer than ever.

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...
