[u][b]Some time before mission start.[/b][/u]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
[b]„I'm home...”[/b] Miyako said by habit once she got to her house. Usually at this point her boyfriend would have responded, but this time things weren't such.[b]” Ohh yeah...”[/b] She muttered as she realized this time she was all alone at home... With annoyed sigh she threw her keys at the small wooden bowl she used to kept her keys at. The place seemed so quiet and empty without another soul around, but things had been going downhill between them lately. Now yesterday they finally broke up and what do you know, a day later she get's called for a mission to a very distant place. Taking a deep breath, she started to prepare the small amount of things she was going to need and could bring.

Finally after everything else was prepared, Miyako went to her computer and quickly booted it up. In general she bore no good feelings towards her family, but that was mostly about her parents. She was on decent terms with her younger sister and they had been talking via internet secretly from their parents. After turning on her PC, Miyako quickly checked if her sister was online, but it seemed that wasn't the case. Not that she was surprised about that, the time difference between the USA and Japan wasn't exactly small. Instead she quickly began writing her an email to inform her that she won't be in touch for a good while. Naturally she didn't write anything about the mission or where she was going.

With all else done there was one thing that was left to be prepared. Miyako slowly went to her bed and reached to the katana that was hanged just above it on the wall. That wasn't exactly a cheap sword replica, so she couldn't leave it here. It was a family heirloom she got from her grandfather. As such her parents couldn't say anything about it when she left Japan to join the SGC. Earlier she asked for permission to bring it with her and she got green light about it as long it she keeps it away from others.

[b]“Ahhhhh...”[/b] She finally laid down on her bed once everything was done with. It wasn't going to be her first time away from Earth, but this was going to be her first time spending so much time on a spaceship. She felt strangely excited about it...
