As a Trill Beno had a little more responsibility than others, joined Trill serve as a coach for those who are training to be joined. With Beno now on some down time, she was catching up on some over due paper work while she waited for an appointment. He was on a Transport heading there, and should be there any time. He has no idea what he was getting into, as no one really does before they are joined. For her it was a confusing time considering there were a lot of Hosts that amplified the matter. It was also natural for people to go through a bit of an identity crisis, for a short while they believe they were a previous host. Most of the time it lasts a few seconds, and in rare cases it lasts a few minutes.
As she waited Beno was thinking of how it went for her, it was extremely confusing considering that she had quite a few. Her body wasn't able to do a few things the previous hosts could do, one of them was a dancer and when Beno attempted to do some of her moves but ended up having a small accident. It hurt a lot, but she was able to heal. It was a little embarrassing and eventually she was able to sort things out, there was an effect on her own personality. The over all effect didn't alter who she was, just gave her a new perspective.
While she was distracted a tall Trill man approached the table, as another Trill she stood out. Anyone looking at him would be able to tell that he was a little nervous, that too was normal for people in that position. Beno looked up from her paper work, she had a feeling someone was close. "You must be Toran." Beno stood up to meet the man. "I have been expecting you, please sit make yourself comfortable." Both of them sat down and Beno had a drink brought to the table.
"You are going to go through a lot right after you are joined, you will forget who you are while believing you are a previous host. It will be a mind twisting experience that you can not fully prepare for, once it is done there is a very short window where it can be undone. After that window closes you are joined until you die, without the symbiont your body will just shut down. The rewards and the downfalls are equal, the one thing I just cant get used too is cold hands. That is my introduction and I have my favorite drink coming for you, it is the best drink I ever had on Earth."
A Ferengi waiter brought the beverage in a frosty glass, and Toran made a face as he was able to smell it. It made Beno smile as she watched him pick it up for a sip, no sooner did it enter his mouth he spit it out making a face that said how disgusting. Beno couldn't help but to laugh harder than she had for a long time, Beno didn't actually like Root beer. "Relax I don't actually like the stuff, I couldn't even get passed the smell." She continued to chuckle a little, but needed to regain composure.
"I like using it as an example because of the experience, it looks alright from a distance but when you get into it the whole thing changes. Just like Root Beer being joined isn't for everyone. If this is not for you the earlier you realize this the better, this also applies for if you get joined. Do you have any questions?" She asked him because there was a lot of information she put out there.
Toran thought for a second and asked his first question. "You seldom do this with a pledge, is it because you don't like doing this?"
Beno thought of his question, and he was right she didn't do this often. "As an Officer my first priority has always been to my crew, as a Midshipman I always looked out for the lower ranks. As the ranks grew so did the responsibility, being First Officer you can imagine what kind of schedule I have. Its not that I don't like it, I just normally don't have the time." When she was doing this, Beno was fully invested.
"We are not going to really get things started right away here, we both need time to climatize from our journey here. Right now feel free to enjoy the station, there is a lot of work we are going to cover in the morning but not too early I want to sleep in. If you want to join me for a drink, please do I promise no more Root Beer." It was a prank that Beno enjoyed doing to people, she had no idea why people would enjoy the drink it was just strange.
