Store Trek/ideas/Mysterious New Worlds

It was another beautiful spring day on board the SUS Private Enterprise, flagship of the fleet and the Corporation's finest, and I was very much looking forward to some much-anticipated shore-leave with my good friend and superior officer, Captain Jean-Luc Poirot. After recent events in which Poirot had been abducted by a simply frightful and ghastly alien species known only as The Fourg, his famous grey-cells very nearly reprogrammed to commit unspeakable heinousness, it was generally agreed that some recuperation was very much called for. The crew as well had suffered considerable casualties during the incident, and the ship itself was expected to be in spacedock -- undergoing repairs to many plot-holes incurred thereby -- for quite some time.
