By 2373, Fullerton and the New Essentialists had come to see Risa as the epitome of a self-indulgence they felt was destroying the Federation. Fullerton held rallies, published analyses of recent Federation history and had his followers stage a mock attack on the tourist facilities. Fullerton convinced Worf to join them and Worf shut down Risa's weather grid, allowing the planets true weather cycle of constant rain to be experienced by the tourists. Using the uplink created by Worf, Fullerton later intiated several earthquakes that damaged several buildings. Before he could cause more, he was stopped by Worf.
