Kiradax

Kiradax is the femslash ship between Kira Nerys and Jadzia Dax from the Star Trek: Deep Space Nine fandom.

Season 1
BABEL

While walking on the promenade, Jadzia remarks that she forgot how different it was. Kira asks what she means by that, and Jadzia clarifies that she means being female. She hasn't been one for over 80 years and there's a lot of attention. Kira assumes that it takes some getting used to, but Jadzia actually finds it quite enjoyable. They get stopped by Quark who invites them into the bar. Jadzia asks if Kira's up for it, but Kira says she needs to get back to op's and tells Jadzia to enjoy herself as she walks away.

PROGRESS

While in the runabout, Jadzia tells Kira that Morn asked her out. Kira is surprised and asks what she said. Jadzia said she was busy, which Kira thinks is good. Jadzia does admit that she found him kinda cute, much to Kira's confusion. They then get a read on a humanoid in an area that should be clear. Kira decides to beam down, and won't be long. Jadzia then beams her down.

DRAMATIS PERSONAE

While Jadzia is getting a drink from Quark, Kira comes up and asks how Jadzia is. Jadzia just gives her a weird saying, much to Kira's confusion. She clarifies that she was asking if Jadzia was happy. Jadzia admits that no one really asks her that often, and Kira thinks that it should be. In Kira's opinion, Jadzia is the most valuable officer on the station. She asks if she can have a sip of her drink and Jadzia allows it. Kira takes a sip and says that it's not bad, for Quark. Jadzia agrees and Kira goes to fill it up a bit more. She says she couldn't imagine running the station without her there, and Jadzia asks if she's trying to tell her something. Kira says that her disagreement with Sisko is no secret, but it's hard to move him on a decision. Jadzia starts to tell a story about her and Sisko, but Kira points out that she told her it that morning. Kira asks if Jadzia could talk to Starfleet about their displeasment with Sisko's handling of things, since they'll listen to her. Jadzia starts to tell another story, but Kira interupts her and tells her that they need to keep the Valerian's at the station, it's for the good of everyone. Jadzia starts to say that Sisko is like a son to her, but Kira says that she's getting rid of Sisko. She doesn't want to get rid of Jadzia along with him.

DUET

As Kira looks out the station window, Jadzia comes up and asks what she's looking for. Kira says answers and Jadzia asks if she found any. Kira says that Maritza believes that she doesn't care about the truth and that all she wants is vengeance. Jadzia asks if she believes he's right, but all Kira wants is to see him punished. Jadzia asks if that includes if he's just a file clerk, but Kira doesn't want him to be just that. She wants him to be worse. Jadzia says that Kira wants him to be guilty, but Kira thinks that anyone at Gallitep is guilty. Punishment would allow Bajor to feel some satisfaction. Jadzia thinks Kira's trying to hard to believe what she's saying, already knows that punishing without reason won't work and that vengeance isn't enough. She then leaves as Kira watches.

Season 2
THE CIRCLE

As Kira is packing, there's a knock on her door and Jadizia comes in. She asks if she's disturbing her and Odo, but Kira says that she can stick around to help her cry into her synthale. Jadzia just thought she should return the lotion Kira lent her, but Kira insists that she keep it. Jadzia asks where she'll be stationed, but Kira doesn't know yet but will earn a desk a foreing affairs building after a vacation. Jadzia believes it sounds dull, but Kira think that doesn't begin to describe it. Jadzia then asks if she was given an alternative, but she wasn't. As more people come in, Odo insists that Kira should fight to stay, but Jadzia says that it's up to Kira. She then asks if Kira wants her to talk to Sisko, but Kira knew the risks when she went on her mission.

THE SEIGE

On Bajor, Kira takes Jadzia to the cave where ships are stored. It's completely a mess and covered in cobwebs. Jadzia says that Trill's are extremely allergic to insect bites, but is suddenly surprised by a large insect like animal. Kira says that the moons are filled with them, and Jadzia assumes they were pets. Kira corrects her and says they ate them, much to Jadzia's disgust, and finds the ship they need. Jadzia sees how run down it is and asks if it will fly. Kira's done so in worse, and starts to climb in. Kira starts the engine's but worries if they will work. Jadzia assures her that she's go it and starts working on the ship. Kira double checks and Jadzia says that she will, since she in no way wants to get stuck here.

Jadzia gets the ship running and tells Kira not to turn if off. Jadzia gets a bit stuck, and Kira asks if there's a problem. Jadzia sarcastically says everything's wonderful, and Kira gets some memories from the sound of the engine. Jadzia asks how they ever won a war with the ships, and Kira says that the Cardassians were basically allergic to them. Kira then starts to get ready for takeoff.

Once in orbit, Jadzia tells Kira that the navigation systems have broken. Kira says that's not a problem, but Jadzia thinks it is. Kira says they'll just have to wing it, much to Kira's dismay. Kira says that Starfleet officers are too dependent on tech and gizmo's, instead of the survival instincts. Jadzia's instincts told her not to get in the ship, so she thinks they're doing okay. Kira thinks she'll be able to recognize the landing site, when they're suddenly hit. Kira gets ready to fire as Jadzia gets a reading on the other ship. They see it's some of Jaro's and Jadzia says they won't be able to outrun them. Kira agrees and decides to even the match. Jadzia asks how she plans to do that, and Kira says that she's going to take them into the atmosphere. They'll have to fight on their terms.

Once lower, Kira sees the playing field as even, but Jadzia doesn't think of 2 on 1 as even. Kira does see a problem, as the guys in the other ships, used to fly the ship they're in. Jadzia test the phasers but the locks are dead and they won't be able to aim. Kira says there is, and tells her to use her eyes. Jadzia says that Kira will fly while she shoots and are able to take out one of the ships. They look around for the other one when it shoots at their engine and starts a fire. Jadzia asks for the fire gear, and Kira tells her to check under the seat. She finds an extinguisher, but it doesn't last long, and tells Kira to jettison the plasma tank. She asks for a place to land and Jadzia finds a spot 2 kilometers away. Kira asks for a place closer and the two prepare for impact.

After the crash, Jadzia sees some coming for the raider and they can't stay. Kira says that due to injury, she'll just slow her down. She needs to get the information to the government, that's all the matters. Jadzia says it will be more convincing coming from Kira, but Kira believes it speaks for itself and hands Jadzia the evidence. She tells her to leave her, and makes it an order, but Jadzia says that since the Federation left yesterday Kira is no longer her superior. She attempts to help Kira up, but Kira says that she can't walk. Jadzia insists that she can. Kira thinks she's being a fool, but Jadzia just tells her not to talk back to her elders as she drags Kira up. They hear voices and quickly hide, when Kira suddenly passes out.

After Kira gets up, Jadzia finds her and tells her to put on a Vedek's uniform. Kira is confused and Jadzia says it's the only way they can get to the ministers. After they're done getting ready, Jadzia asks what Kira thinks of her bajoran nose. Kira finds it flattering and Jadzia jokes that she might keep it.
