Mission: Shore Leave on Risa
Location: USS Washington

Shran sat in his chair in his ready room looking over the repair schedule. It was a routine mission, and he had offered shore leave to the crew for anyone who wished to take it. Considering all the crew had been through over last several months, especially all the wild encounters in the frontier, he had arranged for this little respite of sorts and was happy that Command had agreed to it. All it had taken was him calling in a few favors, and for them to wait a bit. Of course, some of his engineers would have to work a bit, but nothing too strenuous and once the work was done, they would have the chance for a little shore leave as well.

Shran wasn't planning on going down to the planet. Risa was a paradise, but one he didn't particularly enjoy. He better enjoyed time with his family or being aboard the ship with those he served with and considered friends.

His communicator chirped, calling him to the bridge. The Andorian stood and made his way to the bridge. "What is the situation lieutenant?" he questioned as he entered the bridge.

"We have entered the Risian system. We will be in orbit of Risa in 10 minutes" Ibarra noted as she relinquished command.

"Very well. Contact the planet, notify them of our arrival and our eagerness to begin the repairs to the weather control systems" Shran ordered as he sat. "Notify Lt. O'Connor that we have arrived, and he will be able to begin the repairs at his convenience."

Shran sat in his command seat and took note as the junior officers worked, the senior officers all off, likely preparing for the leave. He allowed a slight smile to come over him as he considered so many of the crew taking a much-needed rest.
