"Did you ever wonder what lobster thinks before it dies? I mean here it is sitting in a pot of water, and all of a sudden the water is like a hot tub and then, presto the lobster is dead and ready to be eaten. What do you think your meal's last thoughts were?"

Lieutenant Kentra Donrav stood over his table holding a plate, she pointed to an empty table, "I was sitting over there by myself but I figured you looked like you needed to eat with a talkative trill so..." She dropped her plate on the table and sat down. She took a bite of her own meal, a salad, and smiled.

"My name is Lieutenant Kentra Donrav. I'm the Chief Communications Officer of the USS Laffey. Pleasure to meet you."

| Day 0, dinner

The place was crowded, and Kenin looked around as she tried to find an empty table. The tray she was carrying was filled with some kind of pasta dish, and a fruit bowl, as well as a glass of a fruit drink. Much of it was unfamiliar, and she just hoped it was palatable. As she negotiated the room, she noticed a woman vacate a table and moved that way, but before she got there, two surly looking Klingons settled there. She'd had her fill of surly for the day, so she continued to move around.

Then she spotted Metallic. But there was a woman with him, and she was afraid she would be intruding...For a moment, she hesitated, then moved to where she was sure he would see her (she hoped) and did her best to look lost and bewildered, which wasn't difficult because she pretty much was! Looking as nonchalant as she could, she waited for Metallic to notice her.

ON:

"Hey there" Metallic said to Kenin while drinking more blood wine.

"Oh, hi!" She tired to sound surprised and spontaneous, but she doubted she carried it off well. "How are you? I was...uh, just looking around for a place to sit..."

Still down you" Metallic said in a stern voice, while point to the third side of the table to a chair.

"Yes, sir!" Glad for the recognition, she sat in the chair indicated, smiling. "It's good to see you here..." She glanced at his companion, wondering if he was going to introduce her

"This is Lieutenant Kentra Donrav, the Chief Communications Officer of the USS Laffey, Kentra this Kenin leGoz of,... sorry I don't know where you work." Metallic said trying to think if Kenin told him.

"Work?" Kenin shrugged, then chuckled. "I'm still in school..." Well, she would be if she had a family and home and, well, if she listened to adults like Rael and Zara and..."I'll probably start Academy soon..." As if she would be caught dead in Starfleet!

Metallic saw right through her and then smiled, "Hated the academy, one day I'm teaching the next day I'm just another student." Metallic continued, "I'm 46 god dang years old, a veteran of over 29 years of non-stop bs, A nd what do I have to show for it, some messy quarters in a space dock." Metallic said loudly quiting near by tables.

Looking over at him, Kenin had a new appreciation for him. Of course, Kentra might feel differently, so she smiled and shrugged. "I hear just about everything in life is pretty disappointing..." Great attitude for a seventeen year old!

"Just wait till your my age, you'll see!." Metallic said without thinking if Kentra was joined or not

Kenin laughed and rolled her eyes. "I'll never be *that* old!"

Kentra smiled, she looked a bit older than the girl, but younger than the man but the truth was that in a way she was far older than either of them. "If you're finding life disappointing then perhaps you are living it wrong. I tend to find that you can make any life interesting if you approach it properly."

"As for the Academy, I enjoyed it. It was a totally unique experience, I've never been through something like that even though one of my hosts graduated from the Trill Science Academy and taught at the Vulcan Science Institute it was totally different."

She shrugged, "My advice is that your races only get one life, and so you should enjoy it as much as you can. The Donrav symbiot is going to outlive me, and my memories will continue on but I too only really have one life as Kentra Donrav."

She smiled and took another bite of salad, "Sorry to ramble."

"That's all right." Kenin shrugged. Everyone was entitled to their opinion, and her grudge was against Starfleet in general, not against individuals. "I'm going to be a doctor, I think. You're a Trill? What's it like, having that...symbot in you?" Even though she lived with a Trill, Zara was unjoined. And the idea was a little...creepy. "Does it hurt or anything?"

"I would assume without the proper anesthetics that the procedure would hurt," Kentra said, taking a bite of her salad. After she swallowed her mouthful she considered, "It is hard to describe, even to another trill. Imagine waking up and suddenly having the memories of another person as well as your own. Then imagine that it's not just two sets of memories but dozens."

"It changes you, me. I lived my whole life on a small farming colony. Everyone there was deeply religious, my parents, my family, me. We believed, and I still do in a way, that any sort of violence was abhorent and it was better to allow oneself to be killed than to even raise a hand in defense," she explained, "It is not a popular religion among trills, but it is similar to the Quaker faith that was prevalent on Earth throughout the many centuries."

"When I was joined it was a great honour, and my family was excited and proud. But as I said joining changes you, and I was different. The Donrav symbiot has been in hosts that have done everything from being scientists, to scavangers working with the Orion syndicate, to diplomats to... whatever you could imagine," she said.

"I went to be as a pacifist who had never hurt a fly and woke up with memories of killing people in combat, for profit, for honour, with phasers, with knives and it," she sighed.

"I no longer felt a part of my family, or our faith. I was no longer pure. I realized that I needed to leave and the Donrav symbiot had been wanting to experience Starfleet for several lifetimes so I went along. But this," she pulled at her uniform, "was too much for my family. Just wearing it is an offense to God, it's embracing our base nature instincts for violence. And so the day I was accepted into the academy was the last day I spoke with my family."

"When trills are joined we're not supposed to reestablish relationships with our previous hosts' families or friends. I lost both my own too," she said.

She smiled slightly, "I apologize I don't mean to bore anyone. I just have been thinking about this a lot recently. Between signing up for this tournament, and other recent events in my life I have found it hard to define who I am. Am I Kentra, the girl who spent her life raising our version of earth chickens, or this mixture of lives and memories that is always in me."

"Sorry, I do go on. Tell me about yourselves," she asked.

Metallic looked at Kentra and groned.

"Thousand plus years of trill knowledge and memories or not, my life was made a disappointment, and how it became that way is a long story one I don't care in talking about at the moment."

Metallic continue to savagely stuff his face, full of the seafood he had ordered.

Kenin shrugged. "My parents dad and brother were killed in an accident, and my mother..." Kenin realized she had said too much and was about to say too much more! "Uh, my mother sent me to stay with my uncle for a while, until she could get her life better, you know?" The girl shrugged. "I'm going to be a doctor. I have friends who are helping me. I need to get back to my studies, though. They kind of were interrupted." By living on the streets and making due anyway she could, not to mention those boys who had...

Shaking her head, Kenin forced a smile. "Anyway, I want to be a doctor and work with children and stuff..."

"A doctor, that would be interesting," Kentra mused, "I've never been a doctor. Have you ever considered joining Starfleet? It would be a way to get a comprehensive education and you'd get a good working knowledge of practical medicine. After a few years you can retire and work with children."

She turned to Metallic, "Life is only a disappointment when it's over. You are young, you have much time to do something. I don't know what your past is, but your future is yours alone to decide what to do."

Often even without a medical degree you can provide a helping function. I believe humans called them candy strippers or something similiar." <Tag Kenin> Off
