Technology and You- Monday- 1st period

Today the Danger Shop was looking a lot like the BWI airport, which if the students had taken the shuttle in, they were at least a little familiar with.

"Morning, guys. So this is our travel section, if you hadn't already figured that out," Kitty said. "I think you're all familiar with portals by now, so today I'm going to introduce you to one of our more common forms of getting between long distances here: the airplane. In reality it's going to be a lot more hassle than you'll see here, and there are a lot of rules about what you can bring on planes and what you can't, and we're not going to get into that today. In fact I programmed the Danger Shop for a lot fewer people than you'll normally see, too, and you're welcome. We're going to be going through the very basics here: getting your ticket, getting through security, and actually getting to do a little bit of flying as passengers. And of course if you have problems with heights or flying even in a simulation, let me know and I won't make you do it."

Cosette briefly considered using the machine, then decided to go to the counter instead, thinking it would be easier and more pleasant than just some impersonal old machine.

Cosette was still very naïve. The agent was taciturn and a bit on the surly side, but she managed to charm a fairly nice interaction out of the woman with her wide-eyed, earnest politeness . . . which she was starting to learn to consciously use to her advantage.
