With a positive evaluation from his field docent, Yogan returned to the compound energized and inspired.  Although his final two years as an Initiate challenged him, he persisted, and the Symbiosis Commission approved him for Joining in 2390.  Because the number of potential hosts far exceeds the number of symbionts available, Yogan was required to wait to be Joined.  Eager not to put his life on hold any further, he applied for and was accepted into a one-year fellowship in critical care and emergency medicine at the university teaching hospital in New Scirapo.  This experience reconnected him with his medical training and allowed him the opportunity to reintegrate back into the wider world after four isolating years as an Initiate.

In 2392, the respected politician Eira Yalu unexpectedly died while debating on the floor of the Trill Senate.  That same day, the Symbiosis Commission notified Yogan that he had been selected to become the next host to her symbiont, and would need to report to the Institute compound immediately, where he would become Yalu's eighth host.  After the procedure was complete, now-Yogan Yalu–tradition dictates that the symbiont's name replaces the host's family name after Joining–returned home to Grodor to recover and adjust to life as a Joined Trill.  Returning to his family home after a decade revealed disturbing cracks in the seemingly happy Verso family story, and Yogan did not remain there for long.
