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.

Clearly! Just, you know, future earbuds.

"Hmm? Oh, hold on, let me turn down the volume," Tali said. "It's a playlist of some club music I downloaded just before I left."

Which sounded not all that different from 21st-century club music, to be honest.

"And . . . hi. Are you here for the shuttle, too?"

Lottie nodded. "For Fandoh." What? The M was silent, right? The French left letters out of words all the time. "I'm Lottie. Do like black metal? I like black metal. Or funk is also good."

It could be silent for all Tali knew. She'd go with it.

"I'm Tali. I'm not too familiar with Earth music, sorry, but if it has a beat you can dance to, there's a good chance I'll like it."

"Funk, then," Lottie decided. "Do you listen to space music?"

"That's a pretty broad category. I mean, there's a lot of different kinds of music in the rest of the galaxy," Tali said slowly. "Do you want to hear what I'm listening to right now now that I'm home and can poke around on YouTube?"

"Oooo, sure!" Lottie grabbed a chair next to her. "Do you have it on a space ipod?"

Yeah, she wasn't giving up on that 'broad category' any time soon.

"Hang on, let me just patch it through on my omni-tool," Tali said, as her left forearm and hand were suddenly encased in a glowing orange light construct. She tapped at it a few times with her right hand, and music began to play at an audible, but not too loud, volume.

"And . . . there."

"Corrrrr," Lottie said, way more fascinated with the glowy glove thing than the music. "You really are an alien!"

The music wasn't too bad, but it sure was no black metal.
