“This is the records floor,” Milo called to Paige, running to the far side of the building and stopping at one of several large computer terminals sitting all along the wall. He whisked into a chair, and his fingers flew across the smooth keyboard. On the crystal screen the interface appeared like most of the ones on Earth, with windows and pictures and boxes of text. Milo opened a program and entered a long code into one of the text boxes, which brought up a long list made up of strings of alien letters.
“Oh, sorry,” Milo said as he noticed that Paige couldn’t read the strange characters on the screen. He pressed a key, opening a small window, and selected ENGLISH from an unfathomably long drop-down menu. The strange letters were revealed to be names.
Milo selected his name, opening a new window. It featured a picture of Milo and a brief profile. Paige saw Milo’s name, home planet, a list of relatives, and his birth date. Without asking, she nudged Milo out of the way, selecting a new name and date from another incredibly long drop-down menu and changing it to Earth years.
