​A Little Addition to the Colony.

-
This is a day I’ve been looking forward to ever since the moment I met Ranih, the exact moment I knew I had found the woman I wanted to spend the rest of my life with.

Up until this evening, it had been a wonderfully uneventful day. Everything was running smoothly with the colony expansion construction, new residents were steadily settling in, and a lineup of exciting new concerts and events was being organized for the central park. It was just another productive day on the colony.

That all changed the second I walked through the front door. Ranih was already home waiting for me, her face beaming with pure excitement. I took a seat across from her at the table, and she slid a PADD toward me. I was fully expecting to see news about a promotion at work or perhaps an update regarding her new role as the Trill Representative on the Council.

Instead, as I picked up the PADD and read the screen, time seemed to grind to a halt. I stared back at her across the table, my mind struggling to process the words in front of me. A rush of sudden emotions hit me all at once, a heady cocktail of sheer excitement, fluttering nervousness, and profound joy.

We’re having a baby.

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...
