Chimichangas and Cinematic Classics.

-
We've had a very productive day on the moon base. It's an incredibly peaceful place. The orbital platform is peaceful as well, but there's definitely something different about the atmosphere on the moon base.

For lunch, James and I opted for a dish popular in the Southwestern United States and tried something called a chimichanga. 

It features a flour tortilla packed with fillings like meat, beans, rice, and cheese, folded and cooked until the outside turns golden and crispy. It was quite spicy, tasty, and definitely very filling.

We return to Docosie tomorrow, and I'm both looking forward to it and not at the same time. On one hand, I’ll be back with Ranih and my home office; on the other, I’ll have to deal with the build‑up of all those darn seed pods in the garden.

Only a few more months and the trees will stop shedding them, and then we can have a reprieve,  even if it’s somewhat short, before the next garden battle arrives.

The crew of the moon base enjoy watching very old films from Earth. Tonight we have what is considered to be the quintessential Dracula film from 1931, over 500 years ago, starring Bela Lugosi and Edward Van Sloan.

The crew plan to watch several other Dracula films over the next few weeks. I might follow along with them from home.

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...
