*“Multi-lifetime learning”

The Qet symbiont had spent multiple lifetimes studying the impact of First Contact on various species, both in terms of culturally as a xeno-ethnologist and physically as a xeno-biologist. Verdan's childhood surrounded by ancient artifacts and his experience at the Ministry studying forensic science meant their interests were particularly well matched. None of Qet's previous hosts were ever involved with Starfleet, so the opportunity appealed to its need to continue growing and learning. The excellence of the match between Verdan and Qet and lack of similarly well matched candidates for joining with the Qet symbiont are what finally convinced the Joining Commission to risk this particular host, despite concerns that his reaction to the trauma at the Trelkian mine and the loss of his partner indicated psychological unsuitability as a candidate.
