"I arrived by bus two weeks ago," Claire says, not really paying attention as she examines the room for anything that might end up stressing her out, like a weird noise from the air conditioner or an odd stain on the ceiling. (There aren't any of these things, which is unsurprising, but she still wants to check.) "I have been staying in a CONDOR facility since I arrived and presented myself for registration."

She glances back at Rikki with a hint of a smile, though she doesn't look at her face. "It was a long trip, though. I don't really like busses."
