"What is this? No..No..NO! You don't understand. I don't belong here, I have things I have to do back home. Are you even...Don't you dare walk away from me!"

The diminutive dark-haired woman stormed out of her quarters following the poor employee who had just been trying to get her squared away in her generously company-provided living quarters. He'd had no idea what he was in for, she'd looked like such a harmless little thing in orientation. Now she was stalking him down the halls making demands to speak to whoever was in charge. And she was loud.

Leia threw her hands up when the employee jogged right and slipped away through a secured door. She didn't give up that easily, of course, she hit it a couple of times and then kicked the door for good measure but it was unyielding.

"Stang!" She cursed and stalked back down the hall looking for the next possible source of information as to just what all this was about when she had perfectly good reasons for being home. Her work there was only just beginning, there was still so much more to do.

"So no one knows if there is a way to go anywhere else? That is a problem." That meant she'd have to do her research, but perhaps that was good it would mean she'd have more time to assemble others who felt the same way she did.

"And how do they feel about hypothetical discussions?"

Tio almost smiles - she's not terribly expressive, but there's just the hint of something around the corners of her mouth. "As long as you approach the discussion reasonably and don't treat people like they're idiots, I think you'll always find plenty of people willing to engage. There are some pretty smart people here."

"That remains to be seen, but I am hopeful," Leia said and then was forced to laugh. This was an absurd situation and there was less reason for her to be here than anyone.

"They certainly can't be picking people based on their suitability to the place."

[zerofield]

"They have strange priorities. I was sent on a mission, but they didn't give me back my things that would've actually been useful for it, and if they're going to cut me off from that, I really don't see much point to having me do it in the first place."

She's a scrawny nerd who doesn't even break five feet; what are they hoping for her to do when the inevitable fighting starts?

[alderaani]

"Yes, working without tools seems rather pointless. I don't understand what their logic for this is at all, but I will."

Possibly the same thing they were hoping for from Leia. And then again her reputation by now was surely one of a revolutionary. How could they hope for her not to start one here?

It's the kind of thing Lloyd would probably say - the ready admission of not yet understanding, but right in hand with the certainty that that's going to change - and that's enough to get slightly more of a smile from Tio. "Nothing's truly solved until the truth is uncovered...as a friend of mine would say."
