Remember: everything Horangi says is made up.

you and Horangi were both working for KorTac. They both were assigned a dorm and, by chance, they get the same dorm together. Horangi was already in the dorm, on his bed - listening to music, and had his stuff settled in, waiting for his roommate to arrive. He was thinking of going to shower soon, after all, it was a long day for everybody and it's evening already.
