Mission: Shoreleave
Location: Various
Timeline: 29th june 2395

"Captains log Stardate 72491.6, it has been 36 hours since we concluded negotiations with the Vulcans of Alpha Trionus and the android community, their voluntary relocation to the Lakar island chain has been completed without incident and so far there has been no provocation from either side, Minister Sarel has began to bring her people back out of hiding and security compounds so I intend to take the Wolff out of orbit shortly. I put in a request for crew shoreleave as our last attempt was cut short but i'm still waiting for a response, hopefully I'll get one soon. Computer End log."

With the log done Taliserra stood from her chair and headed out to the bridge. "Status report." She called out

"Security is ready, tactical station all green," Lieutenant Volsung said from where he stood, looking up from the console to look at her. With everyone back on ship and the situation calmed down planet, he was as eager as everyone else to leave.

"Helm is ready whenever you are, Captain," Ash Rowe assured from her place at the controls. Her blonde hair was tied back and as they weren't actually underway yet, she sat in a more casual posture that allowed her to stretch a leg out a little.

Summer was sitting in her seat, a PADD in hand as always. “I’ve been catching up on evaluations Captain, I’m available for anyone who might need to see me.”

After a few more buttons being pushed science officer Lt Anthony Edwards yawned, he was glad the Alpha Trionus incident was behind them, but something caused him to think for now, his final report before he made his report was *Well that is someone else's worry.* "Science is ready Captain!"

"Helm set us a course out of the system, full impulse." Taliserra said to Ash as she sat down in the center chair. "And Anthony, keep our sensors trained on the planet, I want to know if anything suspicious happens."

"Always Captain. Can't have the mice coming out to play again as soon as the cat has turned their back Ma'am!" Anthony said, considering how stubborn and bull-headed Vulcans usually were, and seeing as that race was the progenitor of Alpha Trionus, them as well.

Ash straightened up with the call to action, tucking her leg back in under her console as she tapped away at it, a small smile on her lips. "Course laid in and confirmed."

"Whenever you're ready Lieutenant." Taliserra said. "Once we're out of the system set a course 190 Mark 12. Warp 4."

"Aye Captain," despite Ash' penchant for speed, she took her time in taking them out of the system, keeping the ship steady in its graceful arc away from the planet. "Engaging...now..." the pilot looked up as she set the ship into warp, her heart skipping a beat as always as the stars seemed to stretch and flash.

Not long after the Wolff left the system and jumped to warp Taliserra took a deep breath and tapped the comm system button in her command chairs arm. “All hands this is the Captain. Due to the situation on Alpha Trionus our previous assignment has been taken by another ship so we will not be heading back to Starbase 54, we’re free to do some exploring on our own initiative until we receive some new orders. I have, however put in a request for some shoreleave for us. You have all done well this last month under very unusual circumstances and I think we deserve some. Command has not yet responded to my request but I have set us on a rough course towards our hopeful destination.”

Summer smiled at the thought of Shoreleave, finally some time for her to spend with Tyrus.

Magnus smiled to himself at the idea. Shoreleave would be welcomed. He could relax, rest...he was sure that a swim in the oceans could be a good idea. A different place to relax under the open skies.

At the ops console Binea smiled, her antennae rising up high with interest. Risa meant fun and sun and plenty of it.

Miranda emerged from inside the ready room and realizing Taliserra was on an open channel quietly tried to get her attention, when she turned she gave her Captain a thumbs up.

“Excellent timing Petty Officer.” Taliserra said, the whole crew channel still open. “Shoreleave is on everyone. Commander Acevedo and Lt Binea will work out the personnel roster. LT Row….. Set a course for Risa….. Maximum warp.”

Summer looked towards Tyrus. “Ready for some Shoreleave Commander?”

*Move this if it is better elsewhere* Finally, when Alpha Tronis was left so far behind them that it finally left the Science sensors Anthony said "And she's gone Captain."


=== Ops office ===

"Ohh Risa, has been a long time since I last when there." Will Raynada remarked as he listened to the Captains announcement. "Ever been to Risa Nakata?

"No. I hear it's popular with Starfleet personnel though?" Akira asked with a smile as he leant against the edge of his console to see him better. "I have no idea what to do there. I'll have to do some research..."

"No! No research!" Mina said, her features firm as she looked at Akira. "Risa means relaxing. You should be relaxing." But she doubted he would. In fact, she was convinced Akira found researching relaxing.

Will chuckled, "You should come with me planet side Nakata, I'll get you to relax for a change. Might have to tire you out with a few activities first."

Akira looked to him with surprise before grinning. "I'd love to," he accepted quickly, and with a touch of relief. At least he wouldn't be wandering around by himself with no clue.

"Someone has to show all the technology minded folks how to have a good time." Will remarked.


=== Engineering ===

"Yes." Debbie called out. "Warm sandy beaches and lots of sun bathing and swimming here we come.

"Easy Debbie, we still have to get there first." Lt Kail told her, her knew it'd take them several days to get there even at high warp.

"I know but we can get excited in advance. Think about it, cocktails, warm water, big burly lifeguards ready to dive in and save you." She chuckled.

"You're a professional swimmer Debbie, the only time you would need saving is if you deliberately tried to drown yourself."

Debbie made a hhhmmm sound as she weighed up a decision "Can't say I wouldn't do it on purpose, I can play damsel in distress if I need to"

"I am just going to drink and relax by the pool," Rafe confessed, smiling as he looked at them. "If I get into the water it'll be by accident."


===Science Labs===

Ensign Daniel Franklin listened to the message as it came through and was already thinking about the steam pools and subterranean gardens, he was sure he could find some digging to do while he was there.

Ensign Brendon Watanabe a stellar Cartographer, shivered as the message came through and started planning his holiday, Activities could be included were laying on the beach, hiking in the forest, laying on the beach, rock climbing, laying on the beach, drinking at numerous bars, eating at numerous restaurants and of course the obligatory laying on the beach. If you weren't that interested in those you could sleep.

"Yesss." Nicola loudly called out. "Can't believe we're going to Risa, always wanted to go there."

"Oh bloody hell. As if anything is going to get done around here." HG crossed her arms and looked up at the ceiling. "Fine, gives me more time to play around. Maybe convince getting another shuttle to play with."

"I'm sure Lieutenant Edwards will probably find some time to get you to relax Ma'am!" Ensign Watanabe said. "Depending on when the admirals decide we're being too lazy."

"The beaches don't intrigue me. Now maybe another galaxy. Anyone game?"

"I'll stick to this one, that mission stuck in the void was the most starless space I want to ever see." Brendan said with a smile

Daniel chipped in, "Any archaeology in that different universe?" He was looking forward to doing some relaxing after the last few missions.

HG shrugged. "I have no idea. Probably, but the Kelvans chased us away or rather we ran away before finding out. Still......," She paused a moment. "A trip to Icconia and probing about their gateway technology sounds like a smashing idea."


===Forward observation bar===

"I guess will be getting lots of tropical fruits and juices for a while once we get there." Chef James Sulu said to Jessica with a smile.

"Definitely a good spot to stock up on some of the more unusual foods," Jessica replied though didn't look away from the food she was preparing. "and to restock our alcohol supply."

James smiled and said, "Certainly, their fish and other seafood are divine. As are the fruits which you can make juice and well really sweet alcoholic wines if you give them time to ferment."

===Sickbay===

News traveled fast on starships and one of the nurses came to Hopes office with a smile on her face. “I hear we are headed to Risa for shore leave.”

Hope returned the smile “ever had the chance to visit Risa?”

The young woman shook her head “first time.”

“You’ll enjoy it” Hope said with a smile.

"If you enjoy sun. And sea. And alcohol. And unusual food. And therapeutic treatments. And people with very little clothing," Sol added, almost absent in his precise, Vulcan cadence, never stopping his clearing up of instruments.

Hope smiled “there is a lot of that” she looked at Sol “but I don’t participate in any of the nakedness. I do enjoy a massage when I’m on Risa.”

"Nothing wrong with a little nakedness." Cameron called from outside the office where she was treating a patient; Amanda Turell who added a chuckle to the bustling conversation.

“I’m not saying there is anything wrong with it” Hope replied “it just isn’t my thing."
