'''Shore Leave''' | '''Shore Leave''' | ||
With the Bairiri on ''Arrow'' ending in disaster, the Gentii government allowed Maria and crew to host a Bairiri a little more than a week later on Genti II at a purpose-built hall inside their Federal District. Maria practices hard to put together a performance, but during preparation has a heart-to-heart with R'Ariel about the difficult visions she experienced, and the feelings they stirred up. R'Ariel encourages her to embrace the challenges in front of her, and reconnect more fully to her dance and artistry. Inspired, she doubles down on the efforts and dives head-first into putting together the Bairiri and her performance. She shares in some of the local cuisine with Serinus and DeBarres, and discusses the value of avant-garde art with a native Gentii Girl. She cheers on "Bad Maz" Rodan and Serinus in their performances on the main stage. Finally, she partners with a Gentii dancer, Eka, to put on a production of Stravinsky's Firebird; creating a memory she won't forget any time soon. | With the first Bairiri on ''Arrow'' ending in disaster, the Gentii government allowed Maria and crew to host a Bairiri a little more than a week later on Genti II at a purpose-built hall inside their Federal District.

At the end of shore leave, Maria is re-assigned the the {{USS|Degault}} as an ambassadorial aide and operations manager for a new diplomatic mission with the Gentii. She is promoted to '''Lieutenant Junior Grade''' in recognition of her accomplishments and the new duties she will have. | |||
'''Shore Leave 239810.24 and Return to the USS ''Arrow''''' | |||
Maria returns to the ''Arrow'' only two short months later aboard a shuttle craft that, to say the least, has seen better days. It turns out her early return is due to accidentally sparking a youth counter-culture movement on Genti II with the introduction of Earth ballet. Before ''Arrow'' heads back off on mission, she welcomes newcomer Ensign Jacin Ayemet aboard, reconnects with Cassandra Mason, and plays a well-meaning prank on Quentin Collins pretending to be her 80-year-old self from the future to announce her return. | |||
