- After mediating a difficult trade agreement, Captain Picard is encouraged to take a much needed rest on a vacationing planet, where he's visited by a strange race from the future, in search of a dangerous weapon.
- After Doctor Beverly Crusher insists that Captain Picard is in need of recreation after exhausting negotiations between two hostile planets, the crew manages to make him accept a stay on a well-reputed holiday planet where Commander William T. Riker gets him to pick up a local souvenir statue, without telling him it is the accepted means to call for sexual gratification. After he brushes off obliging females, Picard is approached by several people, including two aliens from the future, who draw him into a quest for a mythical weapon - just the adventure he needs to refresh and revive him.—KGF Vissers / corrected by selmovero
- After a particularly difficult round of trade negotiation, Captain Jean-Luc Picard is exhausted. He reluctantly agrees to take a week's leave on the pleasure planet Risa. Picard's idea of a good holiday is to sit in the sun and read but he soon becomes involved with an attractive archaeologist, Vash, who seems to also have caught the eye of a Ferengi. When he meets two creatures from the future, he is told that history records that he will find an advanced device that must be returned to its own time. When it turns out that Vash is looking for the same device, as is the Ferengi, she and Picard set off to find the object. Vash hasn't been entirely truthful with him however.—garykmcd
- After Doctor Beverly Crusher insists that Captain Picard is in need of recreation after exhausting negotiations between two hostile planets (The Gemarians and the Dachlyds), the crew manages to make him accept. Picard wanted to attend to the Enterprise's maintenance on star base 12, but Deanna manages to convince Picard by telling him that her mother will be at star base 12 at the same time. Picard decides to a stay on a well-reputed holiday planet Risa where Commander William T. Riker gets him to pick up a local souvenir statue, without telling him it is the accepted means to call for sexual gratification. After leaving Picard on Risa, Enterprise is off for her maintenance at star base 12 and will be gone for a week, and outside of communication range. From the minute Picard lands, he is under observation by 2 mysterious aliens.
Joval (Deirdre Imershein) is a waitress at the resort where Picard stays. She is intrigued as most people come for sex, but Picard is only engrossed in his books. After he brushes off obliging females, Joval tells Picard the meaning of the local souvenir statue he has picked up. A random girl Vash (Jennifer Hetrick), very sexy, kisses Picard to hide from a Ferengi Sovak (Max Grodénchik). The Ferengi approaches Picard and asks him not to get involved with the girl and demands his disc back. Of course, Picard has no clue what Sovak is talking about. Vash meets Picard again and slips the disc in his robe.
Picard is approached by two aliens from the future. They are Vorgons Ajur (Karen Landry) & Boratus (Michael Champion). They draw him into a quest for a mythical weapon The Tox Uthat, which was hidden in time by a mysterious time traveler. Tox Uthat was invented by scientist Kal Dano in the 27th century. It is a quantum phase inhibitor, capable of halting all nuclear reaction within a star. The device was hidden in the 22nd century by Kal Dano, when it was attempted to be stolen. Ajur and Boratus are the security officers assigned to retrieve it. Study of historical records revealed that Picard discovered an object matching its description on Risa. Picard promises to give the Tox Uthat to the aliens if he finds it.
Picard finds the disc on him and meets Vash. Vash is the personal assistant of Prof Samuel Estragon who devoted half his life to searching for the Tox Uthat. He founds the exact location before he died, and the disc contains his notes and maps. She says the location is 27 Kms from the resort in some caves. Vash says that she plans to recover the Uthat and donate it to science institutes for study.
Sovak tells Picard that Vash was paid to steal the disc, but she got greedy and used the money to travel to Risa. But Picard punches Sovak and continues with Vash. They cover 16 Kms in a day and end up having sex in a cave when they stop to rest. The next day they reach the location as per Estragon's notes. They are joined by the Vorgons and Sovak. Sovak has a phaser and forces Picard and Vash to dig, but hours later they cannot find the Uthat. They conclude the professor was wrong. Sovak can't handle the failure, but the rest leave.
Picard is puzzled and gets back to the resort with Vash. Enterprise is back in orbit around Risa. Picard concludes that Vash had already been to the location before Picard and Sovak and taken the Tox Uthat. He confronts her. She admits and reveals the Uthat. The Vorgons appear and Vash says that Estragon had noted 2 Vorgons who tried to steal the Uthat. Picard asks for proof that the Vorgons are security officers. They try to take the Uthat by force, but Picard gets the Enterprise to destroy the Uthat from orbit.
