Mission: Sand Sea Fun and Surf
Location: Shuttlecraft Lamia

The type eight shuttlecraft dropped out of warp on the edge of the Beta Antares system. At the controls sat a blonde hiared young ensign. Unlike other pilots, his uniform was blue and white an indication that this young officer belonged to the Starfighter Corps of Starfleet and not conventional Flight Control.

"Rin. Wake up Rin." he said looking over at the co-pilots seat. The seat had been reclined as far back as it would go, causing it to be nearly horizontal. There next to him another young officer, with similar blonde hair and uniform was fast asleep. This ensign however seemed far more content with sleeping than operating the console in front of her.

One arm had flopped down the side of her chair, and the other had lifted up her shirt to reveal her pale stomach underneath. She was clearly fast asleep as she made quiet snoring noises, fresh drool eminated from her mouth as she slept.

"For crying out loud..." the other ensign said. "RIN WAKE UP!" he said raising his voice slightly. However Rin didn't even stir, nor did she make any reaction.

"You're going to be the death of me one day little sis..." he sighed.

"Well, if you want wake up. This will..." he muttered as he disabled the shuttles internal dampners. His fingers flew across the console, piloting the shuttle to suddenly slow down in speed before speeding up again. He then took a sharp turn to port, and then back to starboard.

The sudden change in speed and direction shook Rin awake. "Len! Whats... going on?" she asked as she gripped the side of her chair.

"Oh, look who's awake" grinned Len. "You've been asleep for hours. We're nearly there."

"Oh...." Rin yawned. "We're nearly there huh...".

"Don't go back to sleep. And pull your uniform down, everyone can see your belly button!" Len told her, scolding her slightly. Rin pouted as she straightened her uniform and returned the chair to its upright position.

"You're not supposed to look..." she muttered.

Len chuckled. "As if I'd look at my little sister in that way. Honestly, you should show more dignity..." he sighed.

Rin simply grinned back at him, she punched him lightly on the arm. "I was joking you know. You're by big brother, even if you are only five minutes older than me."

"Five minutes more the wiser too," Len laughed. He held up a finger to his mouth to shush his sister as he opened a communication channel to the shipyards. "Beta Antares Shipyards. This is Shuttlecraft Lamia requesting permission to enter local space and proceed towards the Starship Tokyo."

"Shuttlecraft Lamia, permission granted. Please stick to your flight path. The Starship Tokyo has requested you use shuttlebay two, they have provided co-ordinates" came the reply.

Len looked over at Rin who nodded and immediately pulled up the co-ordinates on her console.

"Recieved and understood." Len replied before closing off the comms.

"Looks like we'll get a nice view of the ship before we land" Rin commented as she charted the course they needed.

Slowly the shuttlecraft entered the fleet yards and began its course towards the USS Tokyo. "There she is!" Rin exclaimed pointing at the Armitage Class Starship which was berthed in one of the many drydocks.

"She's bigger than I expected" Len commented as he followed the flight path they had been given. It gave them a nice flyby of the ships hull, past rhe large saucer section. The twins could make out people working on the hull, replacing hull plating and some of them even had part of the phaser arrays disassembled.

The shadow of the shuttle followed them along the hull, as they passed the ships name and registry on the side of the saucer. Ahead the long streamlines nacelles proceeded from the struts, and several workbee's could be seen working on the warp coils themselves.

"She's a beautiful ship" Len commented.

Rin simply giggled at his response.

"What?"

"Well, you've always been obsessed with ships. No wonder you can never get a girlfriend!" she teased.

"Oh shut up..." Len replied turning his head away as he blushed slightly.

Slowly the shuttle rounded the aft of the Tokyo. The flight deck beneath the saucer could be seen, however that was not their destination. The rear shuttlebay which was on the upper decks could clearly be seen. A tractor beam locked onto them and began to pull them in.

"Well, here we go!" Len said. "You ready for our first ever assignment little sis?" he asked.

Rin nodded as she clenched her fists. "I'm ready. I hope we have lots of fun on this ship!"

"Its not going to be like the Academy remember. We may have all the training and flight hours, but this will no longer be a simulation. This is the start of our careers." Len warned her. "So no goofing off got it!"

"I got it..." Rin replied with a cheeky grin.

The shuttle touched down on the deck of the Tokyo's shuttlebay and Rin skipped over to open the rear hatch. She grabbed her bag which had been nestled on of the rear benches and slung it over her shoulder. "Lets go brother!"

Len couldn't help but smile as she shut off the shuttles systems. He picked up his own bag and followed his sister out of the shuttle. 'I have a feeling she's going to be in trouble by the end of the week' he thought as he followed her.

"Welcome aboard the USS Tokyo."
