    Summary

    Charlotte used to measure her life in blueprints and structural tolerances, which is a very engineer way of having a life. Now she measures it in survival and the tolerances are much tighter. Asset LOG-002, ranked below a servitor. Her old self would have demanded a meeting. Now, a meeting would end in execution.

    She exists thanks to a clerical error. The Administratum filed her under something vague, buried beneath low-priority reports, the paperwork equivalent of a drawer labelled 'miscellaneous'.

    So long as nobody asks what she is, she isn't anything. The moment someone asks, she's a problem and problems in the 42nd millennium get solved with fire.

    Her career plan is simple: be boring.
