Timeline: Current

At the time Deezell's destiny was radically altered by having to become joined, much sooner than she had hoped or even planned to, the need to get as much help as she could to handle the situation, her mother was on her yearly rest and relaxation retreat and thus was not able to be contacted until now and so had no idea, that this call was going to be anything but normal.

Deezell sat at her table in her quarters, staring at the blank screen on her computer terminal, as she waited for her mothers call. Then, right on time, the screen flashed up with the incoming call to be accepted. She taps accept.

Her mother's face appeared. "You look so well my dear. How are you settling in on Starbase 40? " She asked.

"Thanks mom, You look well too. I am settling in well and already have a good routine but it wasn't as straight forward as I planned. We need to talk." Deezell replied.

"Oh? what's wrong?" Her mother asked.

"I remember you being somewhat OK with me putting my aspirations of being joined on hold whilst at got my career going first, but fate decided to intervene." Deezell replied.

"You're joined? " her mother asked looking shocked.

"Yes, Ensign Deezell Vox at your service." Deezell replied.

"Vox? as in Raekwon? " Her mother asked.

"Yes, he was my last host. He died 6 months ago in a tragic accident. Did you know him?" Deezell asked.

"Not in person, only in reputation. He helped obtain sculptures for the restaurant chain owned by our family friends the Tagnen family. " Her mother advised.

Deezell smiled. "Oh that's right, I remember Raekwon having trouble getting certain pieces from the manufacturers on Telma 2. Some were too tall for the cargo bay aboard his ship. He had to lay them down but securely fastened to ensure they didn't move. " Deezell replied recollecting Raekwon's memories.

"The tall ones were for the flagship restaurant here on Trill. So, if you didn't go through initiate training, how did you end up joined? " Her mother asked.

"The ship I was on, that was on route to Starbase 400, intercepted the distress call from Raekwon. We rescued him before his ship exploded. Sadly he died of his injuries. We then headed back to Trill with Vox but the symbiont experienced difficulties and being the only Trill onboard, that was that. It has taken me a while to get use to things. I still get days where I have some issues." Deezell.

"Do you want me to come see you? " Her mother asked.

"I would love to see you mom. I would have to clear it with the Station Commander first but I don't think it will be an issue. I will get back in touch when I have. " Deezell replied.

"Great, let me know as soon as you can. Hope to see you soon. " Her mother replied.

"Likewise mom. Love you." Deezell replied.

The channel closed. She let out a large sigh of relief. That went better than she thought it would.
