The family board the shuttle, There are 50 seats in the passenger cabin, two of which are taken up by the flight attendants, but they don't spend much time in them as they walk down the aisels handing out pretzels and soft drinks. The shuttle quickly crosses the terminator to the night side of the planet. The wind noises die down. The Children James, and Nicole don't have much time to get board, the spend time looking out the window. The planet is mostly dark down below with occasional flashes of lightning from some distant thunderheads. 45 minutes later the horizon begins to glow in the distance as the sun peers through the atmospheric layer, a briliant rainbow of colors appears as the sun rises and those first rays reveal a ship in the distance. An angular boxlike starship is gradually lit up by the rising sunlight, a structure of about 40 meters wide, 20 meters deep and 350 meters long. A number of blisters appear on the sides of the ship, some have guns in them. The pilot makes an announcement on the intercom system, "Attention all passengers, we are about to dock, please return to your seats and fasten your seatbelts." The children watch in rapt attention, looking through the small round window as the shuttle pulls under the Starliner as the large bay doors open up to receive the shuttle. The shuttle pulls in slowly, with excrusiating slowness, much in contrast to the take off of the shuttle from the runway. The shuttle floats into the hangar bay, there are 3 other shuttles inside. The shuttle settles to the floor of the hangar, it moves into its berth and the clamps lock it into place. The hangar doors close, and a gate moves into place attaching itself to the shuttle's main door. The doors open and the passengers file through the gate into the corridor beyond. "Welcome aboard flight 419, we hope you enjoy your stay with us, please follow the signs to the clerk and he will get you situated in your staterooms. Have a nice day."
George and his family wait in line at the desk and register and receive their stateroom keys. The card key has a little display on the side with a map of the ship, it shows the passenger's current location onboard and the location of the 2 ajoining staterooms to which they are assigned with arrows pointing in which direction to proceed. The family arrives at the stateroom, the open the doors and there they wait, watching some entertainment channel on the holovid while the bell hop delivers their luggage.
