#within--shadows

The first night in First Order custody was sleepless and stressful, and being dragged from her newly granted quarters for her first day just added to the unpleasantness of the entire situation.  Major understatement.

There is no way this could possibly work out well for either party involved, and yet they had insisted (if you could even call kidnapping that) and so here Charlie is, being presented to the technicians she would be working with like some prize cattle that had been won.  Fine.  So be it.  If she is to be treated as such, she would act accordingly - bullish and stubborn.  Chin raising, haughty and statue-still, despite the discomfort associated with her new work attire, she surveys the scene, gaze grazing across the room of glittering holo-displays and staff busy already despite the previous lack of chief architect.
