Following the death of Lt. Commander Jadzia Dax, the Dax symbiont
was to be taken to Trill and placed into another host to carry on
the Dax legacy. But the journey to find a host at the Trill homeworld
was cut short during the symbiont's voyage home on board the U.S.S.
Destiny. The Dax Symbiont took a turn for it's worst and needed a host
right there and then; and the only Trill available was young Starfleet
ensign who did not plan, nor had the training to be a host. "I went
to the operating table as one person, and woke up a whole new person...
well, eight whole new persons."
This young Starfleet officer was Ezri Dax. An assistant counselor, Ezri
was a notable officer with a promising future. With the joining of the
Dax symbiont, Ezri has to learn to deal with the pesonalities of all
previous hosts (including Kurzon and Jadzia's taste for Ractagino), which
she has admitted to be a difficult task, and to her new life aboard Space
Station Deep Space Nine.
Facing a new and frightening experience with the Dax symbiont within her, Ezri was ready to leave Starfleet. Having everyone see her as the shadow of the beloved Jadzia, Ezri was confused and wanted to escape from Deep Space Nine. But after seeing how her skills have helped the distressed Elim Garak as well as herself, Ezri decided to stay and face her challenges on DS9 like a true Starfleet officer...and to honor the wishes of Jadzia. From then on, Ensign Ezri Dax was promoted to a full counselor with the rank of Lieutenant. After all, "what can they teach her in a few months that she hasn't already learnt in the past eight hundred years?"
more to come as season progresses.
