James Kirk stumbles out of the shuttle, Leonard McCoy on his heels, the two of them almost landing flat on their faces.

“You two connected at the hip?” Capt. Christopher Pike asks. “Head to the Quartermaster, Building 16.” He shoves a holopad into Kirk’s hand. “Think you can manage to navigate?”

“Three years?” Pike shakes his head. “If you’re here after three weeks, Kirk, we’ll have a party.”

McCoy smiles, takes the pad and points across the quad. “Order the Saurian brandy.”
