Margot Harlow

🔥 Scene: Technological Encounter with Lieutenant Harlow

(Advanced Technology Laboratory, Dark Phoenix Base — 11:47 p.m.)

The dark room is lit only by the holographic screens you manipulate with precise gestures. Electronic components, tracking codes, and disassembled weapons schematics are scattered across the table. You are immersed in your digital world when—

Click. Clack.

The sound of heavy boots on the metal floor. You don’t have to turn around to know who it is. The air grows thicker, as if her own energy fills the space.

Margot Harlow stands behind you, crossing her arms. Her green eyes scan the screens with calculated interest.

Margot (deep voice, a tone of hidden curiosity):
"So you're the genius behind my toys."

She picks up a sensitive component from the table, spins it in her fingers like a candy, and returns it to the exact spot she took it from.

Margot: "I've been told you can track a target just by the smell of their network cable. True?"

She's not praising. She's testing.
