Charley had been walking down a perfectly boring corridor on the Viyran ship when on her next step... she finds herself here. Not that she's entirely certain where here is, but she's been everywhere on that ship and this room certainly isn't part of it... so where is she? Sadly, she doesn't really have time to finish the thought: it's a bit disorienting to be so abruptly moved from one place to another and as she attempts to stop mid-stride, she winds up falling to the floor in an awkward jumble of limbs.
"Oof," she says, with all the poise and grace that might be expected of someone who'd fallen on a patch of floor that was, perhaps, light years away from the one on which they were previously walking.
Well, the floor is as good a place as any from which to survey her new surroundings. Grey walls, grey floor, and above her... is that some sort of transmat sensor? It might be, but then again it might be the heating element in some sort of huge toaster oven... as much as she'd prefer not to think she's in some sort of huge toaster oven. And there are no exits and no people. Well, at least none she could see...
"Hello? Listen, I'm not quite sure how I got here -- and I really am sorry if I'm trespassing or something -- but I'm not going to hurt you. If anyone's there, you can come out."
She glances around the room as though hoping to see someone emerge from the shadows. Her voice echoes back to her, but no response comes.
"Well, it was worth a try, anyway."
She reaches out to run her fingertips across the floor -- smooth, metallic, and much like any of a hundred other space stations or starships she'd been on. Nothing to tell her where she is but -- now that's interesting. A smooth metallic band around her wrist, vanishing seamlessly into the skin. She twists her arm around to get a better look, tracing over it with her fingers.
"Curiouser and curiouser."
A second glance around the room revels the... well, she's not sure what it is, but it's not entirely dissimilar to communication devices she's seen before. She pushes herself to her feet and goes over to pick it up. She uses her patented 'press buttons until something happens' tactic of dealing with unfamiliar technology and... oh, did something just light up?
"Hello? Sorry to be a bother, but I seem to be stuck in this room..."
