BWI Airport, Portalocity Lounge

So ... this was the East coast, huh?

Cosima wasn't sure what she had expected to see, and the bland nothing of an airport lounge wasn't giving her much of an impression of her new home yet. She felt a sudden twist of worry mixed with homesickness. Maybe she shouldn't have obeyed the impulsiveness that had led her to transfer to some tiny boarding school thousands of miles from home. Not that San Francisco was doing anything great for her lately, but at least she knew people there.

If she looked at it logically, she knew not to let her nerves wreck the experience. School would be fine, and if it wasn't, she could go home at the end of the summer -- or even sooner if she wanted. But logic wasn't the easiest thing to have when you were 16 and alone in a strange airport.

She lounged in a hard airport chair, earbuds in, and poked at her phone until she found a new science podcast to listen to. It was comforting.

Well, it was roomier than the Mako, although Tali was, out of habit, listening closely to the sound of the engine to see if she could figure out what might need tuning up, though unfamiliar as she was with combustion engines, that might prove tricky.

She made sure her luggage was safely stowed away and settled in for the ride. It would probably be fine; she doubted this bus was equipped for ridiculous vertical climbs. Besides, what were the odds that anyone in the galaxy was an even worse driver than Shepard?
