She only looks this shallow. There are surprising depths to Verity Willis.
"Wow. Sounds like something Tony Stark or Reed Richards would build." Because those jerks never shared the really cool stuff with everyone else, it's still alien and impressive to her. (Capitalism really fell down on the job when nobody made a Moonland theme park in the Blue Area.)
"Port is left, starboard is right. It was the same back home." It's not entirely unfamiliar, then; even if this is the last time she understands how something work, she can hold onto the one thing she knew.
The keypad is studied curiously and she pays close attention to the code. Four 'numbers', that shouldn't be too hard to remember. Right in the sweet spot of what a human memory can handle easily. Four and a clear button. She can handle that.
The question will be, will she remember it in an hour? After a meal and several distractions? Because right now, it's easy.
