"What? But!...I had you! Blast you Kal. Thats the third time this week. I will have you again." Julian said shaking his fist in mock-frustration.

"You have won a fair few domjat games on the holodeck in your day, of course we will have to do that as soon as we get to starbase with it. Seems to be your element" Kal replied and stretched.

"It was almost Trill's planetary sport. Not playing domjat on my home world was almost a blasphemy. During my Academy days thought, I was a very good Pool Player. I once got to play against Commander Paris, I lost, but It was the first time I had in 7 years. It was also the last time I played in 5 year." He said setting up a second game.

"Just about done 'Mien Kempf' I can hardly find time to read what with all the Human League business. Its a good insight on his Hitlers view of the world. If it wasn't for him being evil, I'd consider voting for him. Good that he is long dead. at least in our universe. What about you? What is 'The Last Starfleet Commander' reading?" Julian said jokingly.

"An old Valen tablet that was recently translated to modern Valen and sold in book form" he smiled, moving a knight piece "to do with how the decease and "great darkness" came upon Valen. Up till now that part of my mothers side heritage had remain purely speculative."

"Now that sounds like an interesting book." Julian said emphasis 'that', thought still debating whether he was really interested, and if he should move his rook or tower.

"I have never heard much Trill history" Kal said as he waited "why is it you never joined?"

"The Federation? Some alien rumors say its our almost xenophobic nature. Others believe we are just to reserved. A third is that we are a proud and noble race. I believe its our fear of the humans. Most stories we heard of them where terrible. Most of use over came that fear, but some Political leaders still fear and despise them. So one could say all three rumors are true. Perhaps the reformation of the Federation will insight them to join." He answered, finally moving his bishop across to an upper board.

Kal moved and pawn and spoke again "Indeed. Speaking of joined, what about yourself? Did you ever want a symbiont?"

"I do actually sir. But I have been rejected every time. I have applied several times." Julian said taking out Kal's freshly moved pawn.

"It is a competition of intelligence, physical strength and aptitude and aiding the symbiont to ascend. I have the fist two down to an art. However it the third one I struggle with. It is very rigorous and difficult." He said placing his tower aligned with the new one.

Kal hesitated before taking a pawn and then continued the conversation. "I see, well I will back you any day. Though I here you would change."
