Tarqesh Lo'Ami

 Unfortunately though, they were too late to save the New Hampshire.  There was nothing left of her but a lot of flying debris. There were no survivors."  

Nice story, but I have to ask one question.  If there was nothing left, and there were no survivors, how was the symbiont passed on to the next host?

 

Inquiring minds want to know!?   ???

It's called hyperbole.  Clearly, Mr. Tarqesh Lo'Ami was a teller of tall tales!

 

I'll bet that had he lived to be an old man, he would've said things like: "What luxury you kids have -- when I was a kid, I walked to school carrying a ten ton knapsack, in the snow, barefoot, uphill, both ways."  :angry:

Umm... I don't know how compatible a Trill symbiont is with ... a Klingon.  Or whether the Klingons would've bothered implanting it into one of them (a very unklingon thing to do!), rather than killing it and eating it.  And, of course, there would be the question of how it got back from the Klingons to the Trill symbiosis council.  

 

Since it is my job to reconcile everything, I still think that the best resolution is that the ship was damaged, but not destroyed, even though our friend the first officer was killed; maybe it was towed back and recommissioned a year later as a transport.

Maybe a few managed to escape in escape pods.

 

OR ... an even better solution!

 

The ship was destroyed and the Klingons left. LoAmi was thrust out of a window into space, narrowly avoiding being burned in the explosion of the ship, and her body immediately froze.

 

Then some Borg came by and found her body floating in space, thawed her out an assimilated her.

 

Then the Borg tried to attack a Trill ship. They beamed a party aboard the trill ship, including the assimilated LoAmi. But the Trill managed to escape and when they were out of range, the Borg on the Trill ship became independent and then they had their implants removed and then they were happy and then they went back home to trill and then he died and then they put the LoAmi in a new host and thats what happened and how he survived, the end.

Hmm, you know, I don't think my original story's gonna work, so I'm going to re-write it a bit,  based on your suggestions. OK? Thanks everyone. :angry:

Ensign Seiben finally reaches his destination.  He presses the chime button at Lo'Ami;s quarters and awaits entry.  "Who is it?" Lo'Ami asks.  "It's me Ensign Seiben". "Oh, OK come on in" Lo'Ami says.  The door opens and Seiben enters.  "I believe this is the report you wanted from engineering".  ::Seiben hands the PADD to Lo'Ami:: "Ahh, thank you.  You're Arcadia's newest recruit, eh?"   "Yes, I am sir, I'm Hans Seiben.  I just tranferred here from Starfleet Academy." ::Lo'Ai offers his hand and Seiben shakes it:: "Well Ensign, welcome to the Arcadia".  "Thanks sir" says Seiben.  Just then Seiben notices

Erko, and another person that he never met yet.  "Oh sorry sir, am I interrupting something?" Seiben asked.  "No, I just finished performing a riutal with these two people".  Said Lo'Ami.  "Ritual? What kind of ritual?" Seiben asked.  His curiousity running wild.  "It is called a zhian'tara, a Trill rite of passage. This is where I try to learn about my past.  I possesed this man and learned some information about one of my past lives".  Lo'Ami said.  "Oh. And you have finished your zhian'tara?" Seiben asked.  "No, far from it..that was just one of many of my past lives. I still have alot to learn".  ::Seiben looks at the man,  who is now beggining to leave:: After the man and Lo'Ami say their goodbyes and part ways, Seiben asks if he can help.  ::Lo'Ami then faces Seiben:: then says "That's very kind of you Seiben" Lo'Ami said "I could try to contact one of my past lives through you".  ::Lo'Ami then calls over Erko who was in the back of the room:: "Ensign Seiben here wants to be possesed by one of my past hosts.

"Very well, Ensign. Please lay down on this couch".  ::Seiben lays down on the couch:: "Now" Erko continues "free your mind and stay completely still".  "Ok" ::Seiben nervously tries to relax himself:: "Is this safe?" asks Seiben.  "Yes, Hans, it's perfectly safe". said Lo'Ami, " Even though you are possessed by a host, you will still be completly self aware."  ::Satisfied, Seiben starts to relax:: "Ok, go ahead sir." Seiben said.  ::Lo'Ami then turns to Erko::  "OK Erko, let's begin."  ::Erko then places his fingers on Seiben's head:: "My mind to your mind, my thoughts to your thoughts..." A few moments later Seiben falls into a state of slumber.  Then, Seiben opens his eyes.  "Hey, where am I?" says Seiben, but in a much deeper and masculine voice. "You are my a room on board a starship. Who may I ask are you?"  says Lo'Ami.   ::The entity inside Seiben looks around:: "I am Commander Tarquesh of the USS New Hampshire. A Soyuz class starship."  ::Erko turns  to Lo'Ami and whispers in his ear::"That class of vessel has not been used in over 90 years". ::Lo'Ami leans over to Tarquesh/Seiben:: "So, tell me about your past" Lo'Ami asked.  "My past? Well, my family moved from Trill to Earth when I was 6 and there I lived in Sydney, Australia until I joined Starfleet Academy where I was joined. Upon graduation, I was posted on the Phoenix as a security officer.  I served there for 8 years, until I was assigned to the New Hampshire, because Starfeet thought I'd do better as a tactical officer. I was a lieutenant then that happened, and from there I arose to the rank of commander, and First Officer." Tarquesh then squirmed in the couch.  "One day, we were patroling in undiscovered space where we came across this undiscovered planet.  We wanted to get a closer look, when we were ambushed by two Klingon birds-of-prey.  They decloaked all around the New Hampshire, and had us surrounded.   Apparently, we accidentally stumpled across a top-secret Klingon military base.  We tried hailing them, telling them it was an accident, but they didn't listen and opened fire on us.  We tried to fight back, but we were no match to the birds-of-prey.  The New Hampshire took on heavy damage and our warp core was going to explode from the attacks.. I honestly thought I was going to die, when backup finally arrived and destroyed the birds-of-pery and the military base. The surviving crew, which wasn't much of us, I'm sad to say, were beamed aboard the USS Cochrane, and a few minutes later, the New Hampshire's warp core overloaded and destroyed the ship."  ::Lo'Ami then got up and pondered this abit:: "What happened after that?" he asked. "After that, my host died from his injuries and I was taken back to Trill and got a replacement."  ::Tarquesh/Seiben got up from the couch:; "Well, it was a pleasure sharing my story with you, but now I must take my leave."  And with that, Tarquesh left Seiben's body.  ::Seiben, who is back to normal now, looks at the time on a console at Lo'Ami's desk:: "It's getting late, I'm supposed to help Lt. Jaruq with something in Transporter Room 1. So I'm gonna have to split now."  "Very well, Hans." said Lo'Ami.  "Thanks for helping me, come back again anytime."  ::Seiben starts heading for the door:: "Sure. You're welcome sir.  Goodbye, sir."  "Yes, bye Hans."  And with that, Seiben left and  headed for the turbolift.

No problem in just reposting it.  That way people will not wonder about what the following posts were talking about.  :angry:

 

Either way works just fine!

Yikes, didn't mean to make you think you had to go through that kind of trouble Seiben. I just figured you'd send a follow-up with someone having escaped and found inside a hollow photon tube or something. Nothing major, I was just curious if you were writing a follow-up and more to the story. Sorry if you felt you had to re-do it. That was not my intention at all.

One of Dax' former hosts was Klingon, was he not?

I thought Curzon was an 'honorary' Klingon?

'Honorary' is the key word here.  This host was in the 23rd century, before Klingon and Federation relations were so good.  Anyway, I hear Trill symbiont tastes good with gagh.

Ok, so I had some time on my hands, and actually had used this info in a trivia thing I did a few weeks ago.

In summary, being the Trill symbiont, can be a good thing.....

Being the Trill host..not so good. Host seem to be, at times, rather shortlived!!
