"Good mindset." Athena commented, then shot her a glance that was a bit more firm than Alice's devilish one "Funny, but we'll have fun after we're done, all the fun you want.  Not until then, got it?  No joking either."<br/><br/>"Prude." Ubon retorted, chuckling and sticking his tongue out teasingly.<br/><br/>"Professional.  You should be too fox-boy." she replied "I don't screw around on a job, especially not one like this.  Anybody else does I promise you I will tear you a new one up and down the walls, is that clear?  Dock your pay too."<br/><br/>And then it was a trip to Tai Po, where they were almost a week before being 'interrogated' by Athena herself, to Ares' main Hong Kong FEZ facility.  If the Evo facility she'd infiltrated not long ago was well armed, this place was something else.  No wall with guards atop it, but you could just<em>feel</em>the threat, and several motorcycle-sized defensive drones came out to meet them and follow them in, likely scanning their information as they made their approach.  Once they entered the facility from the rear, entering through a garage-style door and heading down under the facility to park, they were greeted by guards in full-body armor, clearly Knight Errant, assisted by a number of smaller defensive drones as they were guided inside the facility, Athena leading the way.  Minerva, for her part, was only present via the second com on Athena's arm, no idea where the helicopter was...<br/><br/>The inside of Ares Megacorp's facility was, well, almost military in it's look and feel.  That said, it was clearly a place for corporate work; they were corporate drones were<em>everywhere</em>, but then again at the time, so was the security, drones scanning SINs and IDs on those entering different areas, armed security at specific areas scanning the crowd and - in some cases - greeting a few that pass.  It was what one would expect for the world's largest and most renowned weapon's producer, and the only AAA megacorp from what was once the US of A.  They were met in the lobby by a young woman, elven and dressed very formally, whom bowed to them as they approached, and whom Athena - and Ubon following - bowed to as well (Alice was expected to as well).<br/><br/>"You're the private security team." she said, less a question and more a statement "It'll be a few minutes before Mr. Johnson is down to meet with you.  Would you mind waiting here for a moment?  He feels that there is plenty of time to discuss things on the way to Renraku's headquarters."<br/><br/>"With all due respect, we should discuss some things before we leave." Athena responded "Please inform him to meet us in one of the meeting rooms and we'll proceed from there, for his own safety."<br/><br/>The woman seemed a tad surprised, but nodded still and went off to communicate the response.  That just left them there, standing around, waiting...
