Subject: Coming from Manar

A shuttle entered the Docking Bay, hovering slowly over the metal floor. Small thrusters kept the ship steady, as it moved over crowds of people to the place the Docking Bay traffic control had specified. After a gentle landing, the side ramp opened with a hissing of air, and Ensign Oni stepped out. Almost as soon as the Ensign had set foot on the Docking Bay floor, a small droid rolled up�

�I will need to see some Military ID, or you will have to pay a parking fee.�

The Ensign pulled out a small card with his picture on it. The droid quickly scanned the card for verification, and scurried off to try and collect other fees. Meanwhile, Ensign Maller and Lt. Jr. Grade Smith stepped off the shuttle and behind Oni.

�It�s great to be back isn�t it?� Maller said happily. Oni frowned at the bouncy ensign.

�Yeah, I guess.�

�Oh, come one Oni, stop being so down� Smith replied as he nudged him. �Hey, let�s get a drink at Tankup�s before we go back to duty, my treat� The Lieutenant flashed his legendary smile at the ensigns. Oni shrugged, as Maller nodded excitedly. �Let�s go then.�

After locking the ship up, they began to look for a personal carrier.

�There�s one!� Ensign Maller yelled, as he took off in an all-out sprint. �Hey, stop!�

A hovering vehicle, reminiscent of what you might ride at a theme park to get to the main gate, only hovering, stopped as the three Team Alpha members ran towards them. �Get on� the driver said roughly. Oni, Maller, and Smith jumped into the back, and even before they had fully sat down the carrier took off. It was filled with the normal passengers for the station, transformers, humans, an alien or two, and maybe even a go-bot. The vehicle snaked through the docking bay, making it towards different sets of �terminals� that would lead people to different parts of the stations. After a fairly short ride, they arrived at the entrance of Tankup�s, got off the carrier, and entered the bar.
