 (Risa–Suraya Bay Resort – ACMO – Ensign Dural Methor DrPH – 1833)

Dural transported down just outside of the main walkway. He decided to wear something appropriate. After discussing with some of the others in sickbay they said what they called a Hawaiian shirt was appropriate. Given, that Risa’s climate was very much like a series of Islands in the Earth’s Western Hemisphere of the same name. Khaki shorts and leather sandals completed his outfit.

It was the first time in a long time he got some shore leave. He never did beam down from the Mystique to Trill Prime in his first out of academy mission under the command of Admiral Remae. He thought it important that everyone else get some shore leave. Even his shore leave to Cardassia Prime was cut short when he got orders to join the crew of the Exeter. Others told him that he needed to take time for himself and spend some time planet side.

There was a warm breeze coming over the island’s mountain to the leeward side that put a spring in the Cardassian’s step. As he walked toward the nearby structure. Many times “Welcome to Risa!” could be heard, he said “Hello,” to each and smiled pleasantly as he walked at first the wooden pier, and then the cobblestone walk way heading towards the large stone structure. He made his way now to a covered walkway leading into the building. The sun was just setting and to his right on a large square platform could be seen with a large group of people were gathered.

Dural turned to someone tending a curio stand, “Excuse me, kind sir. What is that gathering?”

“Welcome to Risa!” The Risan man said out of habit, “Oh, that is the collective dance event. Some of the guests call it the dance competition, though no one wins and no prizes are awarded. It happens every night. Are you interested?”

Dural waived his hand, “No thank you. I’m not much of a dancer.”

“Of course,” the Risan answered. “As you wish.”

“What do you offer here at this establishment?” Dural asked earnestly.

“Certainly!” The man said with practiced welcome, “We have a Dabo table downstairs, private rooms, the bar is upstairs we have a balcony..”

“A bar? Perfect. I thank you for your time.” Dural said.

“Thanks are not necessary, all are welcome here on Risa.”

“For your assistance I should purchase some of your wares, I would like to buy one of these wooden curios.” Dural said picking up one of the small wooden carvings.

“Certainly,” the Risan said with a smile, “Currency or credit?”

“Credit, unfortunately I didn’t bring any latinum or Cardassian Lek from my previous shore leave.” Dural explained admiring the carving.

“Which line of credit?” He inquired.

“Starfleet, USS Exeter. Place it under Doctor Dural.” The Cardassian said.

“Enjoy your stay on Risa, Doctor Dural.” The man said pleasantly.

Dural made his way to the bar.
