Mira made a beeline for the mirror, but unlike the bathrooms in the overcrowded Earth, she found this one to be completely empty. She let out a sigh of relief, finally feeling comfortable now that there were no eyes on her. Mira’s brown eyes found themselves in the mirror of the dim bathroom.
While she had been walking through the shuttle port, she couldn’t help but feel like there were eyes on her, having noticed the blatant stares she had gotten from the two Zethradans leaving the bathroom.
She frowned, looking at her blonde hair, which she had pulled back into a neat ponytail to seem more professional. It didn’t match the black-to-white shade wheel, making her stick out like a sore thumb. The biologist also began to question her outfit, which she had selected to seem more uniform and simple, like she expected a military civilization to use. They were pants and a simple, loose shirt, both black.
