One of the few tall buildings left standing after the disaster, the former Infinity Tower had remained abandoned for a long time. On occasion, there have been a few inhabitants- or hired workers from Mars- to maintain upkeep of the building, and to take a few boxes full of tapes, CDs, and other music storage. Why? To preserve the music collection, of course. For those lucky enough to own the devices available to play the compact discs, tapes, and, if extremely lucky, old records, this is the perfect place to "shop" for pre- Astral Gate Disaster music. Once a museum and record company, this is the place to get "old" music for free. Plus, it's a place to socialize and simply hang out.

"This Ain't Your Fairytale"
=============================

"Wait, wait a minute, take a step back, you gotta think twice before you react
So stay, stay a little while 'cause a promise not kept is the road to exile
Hey! What's the circumstance? You'll never be great without taking a chance so
Wait, you waited too long, had your hands in your pockets when you shoulda been gone

D**n! D**n it all down, took one in the chest without even a sound, so
What! What are you worth? The things you love, or the people you hurt?
Hey! It's like deja vu, a suicidal maniac with nothing to lose
So wait, it's the exception to the rule, every one of us is expendable

Boom-Lay, Boom-Lay BOOM! One push is all you need
Boom-Lay, Boom-Lay BOOM! Fist-first philosophy
Boom-Lay, Boom-Lay BOOM! We watch with wounded eyes
Boom-Lay, Boom-Lay BOOM! So I hope you recognize

I'm on the front line, don't worry, I'll be fine, the story's just beginning
I'll say goodbye to my weakness, so long to the regret
And now I know that I'm alive

I'm on the front line, don't worry, I'll be fine, the story's just beginning
I'll say goodbye to my weakness, so long to the regret
And now I see the world through diamond eyes..."

If there was one place Aaliyah would not be expected to be found- other than by her fellow crew mates- it was here. Of all place, an old building that barely managed to survive the Astral Gate Disaster of 2022, not to mention the occasional rock showers, and even more... just an old building. Yet here she was. Aside from her personal fighter, her room, and a few places back home on Venus, this was the place where Aaliyah could come to clear her mind without interruptions; that is, expect from one or two Earth locals that would drop by for a greeting. Among the many rooms within the building that Aaliyah frequented were the third floor storage room for the cassette tapes and CDs, and an old recording studio on the fifth floor.

Having scavenged through the storage room for several tapes she wanted, Aaliyah stepped into a mostly empty room, right next to the recording studio. Though it was cleaned every time, some of the dust had managed to settle once more onto the floor. Nevertheless, Aaliyah walked to one side of the room before dragging out what appeared to be a boombox- a very early 2000's one, to be exact. At least it ran on battery power. After checking to make sure the batteries were still working, Aaliyah put in a CD she took out from her backpack before kicking off her shoes and pressing the play button. Despite the fact that she was alone, it didn't stop the girl from dancing to the song playing from the boombox speakers.

After she had finished dancing, Aaliyah took the CD out before shutting the boombox off. For a second, she contemplated taking the device with her... and decided to anyways. What the heck, one more addition won't tip the Athenian over. Having decided to return to the Athenian before Apollo started blowing up the message inbox on her computer- which she doubted would happen- Aaliyah gathered the CDs and cassettes she gathered, placed them and the boombox into a cardboard box, and exited the room. Once she finally reached the inside of her ship, she carefully tossed the box in the bedroom, returning to the cockpit to turn on the ship and pilot it back to Cario Station. As the Deathaura took off into the sky, Aaliyah hoped Apollo had taken the time to look at the message they had received earlier.
