Keep in mind though, this isn't anybody's first rodeo for the men of homestead. It's pretty rare for them to allow their women out of homestead in the first place, specifically because it affords them oppurtunities to escape they would not otherwise have. Abbey's mechanical skills allow some justification for bringing her, since the escort robots would need maintenance, and warren's too valuable(and cowardly) to risk bringing on a trip like this. But most of the men will still be watching her like a hawk, since this sort of situation is precisely the kind in which they lose what few women manage to escape from them. And Abbey already has a history of escape attempts.<br/><br/>In fact a few men might even decide this is the perfect situation to "sample" abbey before she goes into the brothel. Remember, the Brothel system was developed as much to protect the women of homestead as it was to control them.  Because the same less controlled circumstances that give her oppurtunities for escape, also give less scrupulous men oppurtunities to put on some masks and drag her off somewhere dark and private and have their fun. Or get thrown around like ragdolls by the new slayer. Whatever comes(no pun intended) first :)
