ZE/D02 - Crew Mess
#57
As the Captain spoke the names of the two planets and people they were on their way to see, C’Had’s expression was one of confusion, quickly washed over by recognition. He inspected the food chopices before him, seemingly intent on the spread. His face brightened as Ra’an spoke, and he began piling food on his plate indiscriminately. “I as my previous self din’t have any allergies – I’m not sure if my Symbiont does.” Standing still for a moment and closing his eyes, he smiled. “Nope. Though one of my previous hosts did sneeze a lot when they came into contact with targ droppings!” He laughed as ‘his’ own expense, a twinkle appearing in his eyes. Add that to the mention of oysters, and his face was positively shining.

When all had returned to the table, C’Had pointedly delayed answering the Captain’s questions, instead commenting on how good the food was. As he stuffed a fork-full of mashed potatoes to his mouth, he set his silverware down slowly. As he swallowed, his adam’s apple bobbed, and found himself staring at a table of people awaiting an answer it didn’t look like he had. The Trill glanced at his dinnerplate, filled with a variety of food from those buttery, mashed potatoes to a small spoonfull of tube grubs that were slowly twitching their way off the plate.

“My view on the situation,” He said, preempting his diplomatic change of tone, “Is this.

“The people of these two worlds are unfortuantely not atypical from something you would see in a single world not yet ready to join the Federation. Each country -or planet, in this case- has something the other wants, but neither are willing to budge in order to allow the other to prosper. In a situation like this, the two parties appear willing to negotiate, and may very well be of a mind that they are ready to do so, but when it comes down to the actual act, they resist – which is what has been happening here for hundreds of years. It is astounding that they have achieved the means of leaving their own solar system; studies have shown that when there is this kind of in-fighting, the rest of society’s progress tends to slow.”

He picked up the glass of water in front of him and took a small sip before continuing.

“The position of each planet has remained relatively the same for decades now, with the base belief that each one’s materials are more valuble than the others’. They want to trade, of course, being sister-planets, but things have always been acromonious between them. There have been a few negotiatiors in the past, even a stray request for myself, but at the time I was dealing with much less petty matters, and so had to decline.” He indicated a nod towards the Captain. “Cardassian parts are held onto very tightly.”

C’Had paused to pour some gravy over his tube grubs, who flailed helplessly.

“Now that they have requested me again, I had agreed, though my previous host knew she was nearing the end of her life. She saw this as a small thing to handle, and felt it wouldn’t be taxing on her. And now that I’m me, I suppose it can serve as something to ease me into the legacy that my Symbiont has created.

He raised his eyebrows, and followed it up a beat later with, “See? I can behave.”
