Title: We've Got Mail
Author: Simon Biggs
Scene: Shuttle Bay Two
Time: After "Mail Call"
--------------------------

Simon was in the main security office watching the surveillance screens, making sure everything was fine and admiring the view of Earth on one of his monitors as well.

He didn't get to see Earth that often, and had missed the sight of it. The sight of home.

Lt. Blane said over the intercom, startling Simon. Simon took a deep breath and tapped the button on his console.

"Biggs, here,"

There was a slight pause,

"Aye, sir! I'll get right on it. Biggs out" Simon left his station and headed for the shuttle bay 2.

------------In the shuttle bay---------------

The shuttle had just landed as Simon walked in the bay. The doors to the shuttle opened up to reveal a few crewman. They began to move large bins of mail onto anti-gravity units to unload them from the shuttle. Simon followed procedure to the letter, checking over the shuttle and the cargo for anything harmful and dangerous.

"The crew's mail then, is it?" Simon asked quietly.

"Yes, Sir," the crewman said, "The bins are quite big and heavy. Too much so to lift." the crewman said.

"Let me help you with those," Simon volunteered, as he retrieved another anti-grav unit and gestured for the crewman to help him in sliding the next bin in line over onto it. "I'll get this end. . ."
