After the prolonged skirmishes with the Romulan Star Empire, the USS Bayou St. John was authorized for some shore leave. The crew was excited and Admiral Bot ordered a course set to the pleasure planet of Risa.
On it's way, the Bayou St. John was hailed by a Federation Colony ship that was undergoing engine problems. They stopped briefly and beamed over a small Engineering crew over and performed routine maintenance and repair work on the Dilithum Chamber.
Shortly after the colony ship got underway, the Bayou St. John returned to it's flight path and arrived at Risa on Stardate 87499.3 and most of the crew beamed down to the planet while a volunteer skeleton crew stayed on the ship to continue operations.
