Truth be told however, her fixer hadn't gone into TOO much detail beyond who was making the request, because then there would have been no reason for there to be a meeting, right? No big deal though; he'd never done her wrong yet, odd as he could be at times.<br/><br/>"On the contrary: if he goes into too much detail, there'd be no reason for us to have such a meeting now, would there?" Athena grants the man a sweet smile, before helping herself to some more of her tacos - a three-piece, from what she could tell. "And ah wouldn't be able to enjoy these lovely tacos with you if he'd done that! But more importantly, it appears ah was mistaken; these assassin 'dolls' are not in fact drones as ah first assumed? Ah was assumin' one of them anthroforms, but it's soundin' like he's takin' to trainin' throwaways into ferrymen instead of joytoys, is that correct?"<br/><br/>What's more, it would appear that these 'dolls' were being used to extrajudicially hunt down 'criminals'. Now, Athena herself didn't have problems with doing things that were illegal per se - that was her REAL job after all when you got honest about it, and she was good at her job - but there was something to be said about a Lone Star officer creating his own private hit squad. Call Athena old-fashioned if you wish, but she much preferred how things have always been done when it came to Lone Star's extrajudicial wetwork: hiring 'contractors' like herself to make it happen.<br/><br/>"Now that you've explained things a bit more, ah do believe ah'm the woman to solve your problem, sweetheart," she continued, the left side of her lip curving a bit more, hinting at a barely-constrained smirk wrought from confidence. "And you're probably right about the remainder of the payment bein' 'bout paddin' my 'legitimate' work, but ah suspect given the very different and distinct levels of 'threat' between the two fellows quarrelin', ah believe there was also supposed to be room for 'hazard pay' if you will. This Shibusawa seems to be the much bigger problem of the two; a Star using corpo resources to fund a private army of expendable killers and not sharin' them with the corp? That's the kind of problem that's gonna blow up at some point, and 'more Stars patrolling' ain't the best improvement to an area such as this now is it? Also makes him more dangerous; properly trained ferrymen are not something to sneeze at, and if ah'm to make a dent then ah'm practically guaranteed to be dealin with at least one in the worst possible way. But for you, it's better ah set up a 'controlled explosion' of that ticking economic and political time-bomb than let it go off uncontrolled later, right sweetheart? 'Course that's gonna come at a little more of a premium, yeah?"<br/><br/>Athena may not have been as smart as her lover was - Toni was such a smart boi after all - but she'd been in this business long enough to know how things worked. Well, not as well as someone whose focus was on brokering such business, but well enough to get by.<br/><br/>"Course if you're interested in my 'legitimate' services too, ah'm sure we can work out somethin to help ease the burden on your bank account after ah've resolved your problem..."<br/><br/>(OOC: Negotiation: At 2021-06-01 12:18:30, Keelan (uid: 15533) rolls: 8d6 tn1: 5 Result: 2 (https://elliquiy.com/forums/dicebot.php?r=153637))<br/>(OOC: 1 Edge to Reroll Fails: At 2021-06-01 12:18:46, Keelan (uid: 15533) rolls: 6d6 tn1: 5 Result: 4 (https://elliquiy.com/forums/dicebot.php?r=153638) = 6 Total)<br/>
