"Rape you?" the woman said, clearly incredulous "You have never met him and you were looking for work?  You, Ubon, what about you?"<br/><br/>"Yeah, sounds about right.  Quite handsey and demanding if I recall." he said, far more nonchalant about this than Alice was "Was about to drag her out, quite the horny fellow, couldn't get a boner though with all that liquor in him-"<br/><br/>"Shut up.  You both claim not to have known him, and the meeting was happenstance, your actions in self-defense." the woman continued, moving closer, her eyes hidden by the helmet, but she was clearly glaring through it at Alice, then at Ubon "Are you<em>sure</em>that is the story you are going with?"<br/><br/>Both would nod or respond in kind, and after a moment the woman moved behind them... and one by one they were released form their handcuffs.<br/><br/>"Good; your actions match the footage from the troll's cybereye recordings.  It truly was just an unfortunate series of events." the woman said, Ubon standing, stretching, and rubbing his wrists as the woman tossed Alice her bra from a pack on her back "You can call me Athena for now.  I apologize for my treatment but I had to be sure.  That dead troll was working with me and another on a 'project' and I needed to make sure you weren't there for a hit.  You are both free to go, but if you're interested, I find myself in need of another associate or two on my 'project,' and you two might have the skillsets I need for this 'project' to go off without a hitch."
