Symbiont Information

• Name: Quay
• Kassa is its third Trill host, and Quay at 101 years old, is a relatively young Symbiont, who has some inovative ideas about the Trill/Symbiont relationship it enjoys with Kassa. Although for the most part, it dominates its host, it does allow Kassa room to pursue her own goals and relationships, therefore Kassa retains her own identity.
• Quay had been greatly disappointed in his first Trill host. It had hoped the man would share a volumes of knowledge to be absorbed, but due to a serious breakdown in the Trill Symbiosis Commission screening process, instead of getting a learned mathematician that the Trill host claimed to be, Quay was stuck for 60 years in the body of a store keeper, whose mathematical savvy was limited to the daily receipts from his store. Fortunately for Quay, the store keeper died a lingering death, allowing time to choose a host more wisely.

• A diplomat became Quay's second host. The active man had vast knowledge of ancient civilizations, but what Quay found most interesting was the way he charmed women. He was a master of seduction, and that became the basis of Quay's innovative ideas about the Trill/Symbiont relationship. Humanoid behavior became his specialty. Unfortunately, Quay was only with the diplomat for 40 years. The Trill met with a swift demise while fleeing his lover's husband, and Quay faced certain death, but then along came Kassa.

• Quay saw the naive, but feisty, young Trill woman as a window to a whole new prospective in humanoid behavior. He did not want to taint her with Zhian'tara (the Trill rite of closure, in which a joined Trill meets with the previous hosts of their symbiont). He wanted to experience her totally uninhibited reactions to the stimulus around her without the diplomat's knowledge of women swaying her either way. She had never disappointed him, and was always fascinating to observe. Never a day had gone by that she had not showed him something new in her reactions as nothing with Kassa was predictable, and that's why he let her do her own thinking during her waking hours, and he did his while she slept.

Typical Kassa and Quay Banter

• Kassa, standing at her post behind the Captain, coughs slightly to make herself known in case the Captain wanted her to cover any of the stations.

• Quay: oO That was subtle. Why don’t you just ask if he needs you to do anything? Oo

• Kassa: oO I’m on duty and there is no one to take my place on the Bridge. Besides, it really needs to be his idea. Oo

• Quay: oO Oh right, forgot about the antiquated chain of command mentality. Just let the ship run amuck while you wait on the higher ups to make a decision. Oo

• Kassa: oO Shut up, Quay, you don’t know what you are talking about. Oo

• Quay: oO I don’t? Well who, pray tell, is steering the ship? Autopilot? Oo

• Kassa: ::stepping up a few paces, speaking in her usual soft voice:: Captain, if you like, I can seal the Bridge for security, and man one of the empty consoles.

• Kassa: Yes sir. Will be glad to, sir.

• Quay: oO Why don’t you add.. Anything you say sir, and anything else sir... Coffee, tea , or me? Oo

• Kassa: ::securing the Bridge:: oO No, but I could add, permission to go to sickbay. Oo

• Quay: oO Why, are you sick? Oo

• Kassa: oO No, but I’m going to need a Symbiont extraction, if you don’t shut up. Oo
