Summary

In the Star Trek: Voyager episode “Fair Haven," there's no time like some downtime to visit the holodeck. Tom's new program has it all: beer, arm wrestling, and a handsome barkeep who catches Janeway's eye. She's hesitant to let herself go in this idyllic Irish town until she realizes she can program the perfect mate. Mission Log visits "Fair Haven."
