:(
I thought you wanted to hear about the Founders
I will free you...
When the choice is between yourself and Jem'hadar we all know to save ourselves...the Jem'hadar would kill to protect us...but also sacrifice us for the Founders...
It's good you were able to find happiness, it is more than most of us will ever find
Oh? You may...we are Vorta after all...
You are fortunate...very much so.
If only we were all so lucky...so welcome. I miss being surrounded by other Vorta, Jem'hadar, and being able to be in the Founders' presence.
-as are poisons...pretty much anything that isn't a sweet fruit.
The only good thing is we can go so long without needing to eat at all, eating is such a bother anyway
I don't know what to do...the Founder calls me...I know you think I'm insane, I think I'm insane...but I must answer that call.
I remember I liked fruits, but no favorites...I like fruit because they are fruit...nectar...it is so discouraging. Some stuff tastes bad, acid is normally unpleasant-
-being denied welcome to our homeworlds, our home space! The Dominion replies on loyal Vorta, intelligent commanders, overseers; we are vital!
Being rejected is...being told to terminate....I still can't believe it...or that I resisted! I owe that ability to the Romulans, how disgusting.
Sometimes deep memories are more of a burden and a benefit.
The Founders have been working on perfecting Vorta for a very long time. I know we are...tools...implements that the Founders use...I can't say it is wrong...the Founders are gods, and how are gods every wrong?
It is cruel that you're-
-lost so many ships and Vorta, even one my own went insane and was lost...
I'm off track...Shana...she is like a window into a simpler past.
They might, but you were not slated for such things any life soon. Shana has always been an excellent officer, her mind is sharp and she didn't take risks often.
I remember when she was lost...she'd not been reactived yet but I was busy elsewhere with the Founder in the Alpha Quadrant. We-
That π΅π©π¦πΊ will order her to terminate, or send the Jem'hadar for her. She was assigned to do specialty, high risk runs to get White or to be a courier. Sometimes she transported Founders.
Shana was activated only a couple years before she was lost, we knew she would rise through the ranks again
I am worried for Shana
-made to adore the Romulans...how disgusting...but that abomination meant I evaded the order....that and another order...from Her. Our gods have gone crazy."
"No, Shana...no, you have done the right thing, we are in a time of testing and trivail. Within hours of arriving here I was confronted by a supposed Dominion ambassador and then a Founder ordered my termination." βπ ππππππππ, π‘βπ ππππ ππππππ’π, "I agree I am flawed, I was-

Hello, @zorvaanade.bsky.social do you have a moment to speak with me?
-the war, their Tal'Shiar...and Dr. Bashir helped find the cure. He saved the Founders, preserved the Great Link, you can trust him. He is held in high regard. I believe the disease may have compromised the Founders...and they lost the True Way when the Founder agreed to submit to the Federation."
"Zorvaan is right...of all the Vorta he is the one you can fully trust...my memory is corrupted, but I remember the disease...it spread beyond the Founders to all those who were in the Great Link...any that were there in Communion, they were all infected. It was an attempt by the Federation to end-
"Yes...that is part of why I would advise not to trust this new supposed Ambassador."

"Thank you...I don't want them harmed, if it can be avoided. Mirad is an excellent officer, he has family...I am sure that they would like to escape their chains...eventually."
"I just need to know my guards will be protected, Avox will try to claim them if he comes back."
