Earth Capital City : Athens, Greece Parthenon
Athena was in the process of watching Hebron, her personal guard, torturing a slave who had dropped a glass of wine all over her with a pain stick. The slave was screaming in pain and she was looking on with no emotion whatsoever. "Hebron, that's enough. I think this slave has learnt his lesson - haven't you?" Athena asked the slave that was crumpled in a heap before her.
Slave: "I have mistress" the slave said quietly.
"Good. If you cross me again, I will not only hurt you but your family. Hebron, take this filth away!" Athena ordered.
Hebron grabbed the man by his shirt and dragged him away.
Athena went and sat down on her throne and saw someone at the corner of her eye standing by the door.
"What are you doing here Hermes?" Athena demanded.
Hermes stepped through the archway. He looked at the poor human. "I take it you have had your fun for today, My Lady." he said bowing a tiny part of his upper body. He had his own fleet, his own troops. But Earth was Athena's domain, a domain worthless to the Goa'uld except for proving they were Gods. "Or shall I give you more pleasure?" he asked.
"What do you need to tell me Hermes?" Athena ordered.
Hermes just smiled, play with her mind, lure her in and kill her. "It seems our dear friend Kronos has tried to take the Maktor system. But since our forces were in the area". His forces to be exact, he had known for some time Kronos was going to attack, and he also knew Athena knew of it also. She didn't tell him as she probably made deal with Kronos. "I will execute him on his homeworld. Soon the Jaffa will serve m-us." Hermes said.
"Where you about to say you Hermes? I hope not, you do know I am more powerful than you Hermes. You have been trying to overthrow me for .... I think for two thousand years - if I'm not mistaken?" Athena said not really expecting Hermes to reply, but trying to make him a little agitated. "Oh, I did know what Kronos was up to and have been aware of his plans for a long time." Athena said.
Hermes just kept his smile on his face. They have been playing this game for the last two and a half thousand years. "My Lady you only won because you brang in an acquittance of yours into the battle. I lost over 19 thousand Jaffa and at least 13 Ha'Tak's. But that's not the main reason I am here. I bring news of our battle with the Human's and the traitors" he said. He used the word Human's as he showed them respect, they fought hard and long to save their world, even when they knew they were doomed. The traitors were the Tok'ra.
"Well....how is the battle going? Have you crushed them yet?" Athena enquired.
Athena didn't trust Hermes at all. She kept a watchful eye on him and had a few spies in his ranks
"Crush, would not be the optimum word for this campaign. They are elusive, and troublesome. I believe we should divert ships from Earth to the front lines, in search of these 'rebels'" he said nodding his head. Athena, liked her ships staying with her always. To her the Resistance and the Tok'Ra were just things on a board. He had studied the Human game of chess and he believed everyone was a pawn to her, but soon there would be check mate.
"Perhaps I could send two ships - but no more." Athena said quietly. "Don't these Tau'ri know that they will never defeat us?" Athena said with vehemence.
"To them, if one is free, there is still hope" He said quietly.
Athena watched the doorway as Hebron stood there waiting to speak to her.
"Thank you for your visit Hermes. As always it has been as fun as always catching up on good old times. You can leave me now." Athena said.
"As you wish my Lady" he said doing a small bow again before walking away.
Earth Capital City : Athens, Greece Hermes Estate
He entered the room. His Jaffa stood at attention. Kronos would be transported by cargo ship, but right now he had someone else to play with.
"Now my dear friend" he said walking around the man laying against a wall. The man couldn't move.
"What do you want Hermes" the Goa'uld infested Human asked him.
"What I want Apophis is for you to tell me about this new weapon you were developing before I captured you" He enquired.

Earth Aeaea Island – South of Greece Circe’s Home
Circe relaxed against the cushioned sofa as if she had been working all day. Her fingers ran through the fur of a tiger. One of the most recent additions to her many creatures she had on her island. Since she had come to Earth, she had found the solitude of an island needed. As her spare time was spent in such ways that would only serve to anger others with much more power than herself. She knew where she stood in the ranks but was always looking for a way to pull herself up one more step on the ladder.
Circe’s technology was buried deep within the Earth below this island. Her most prized being the completion of a piece of machinery that could create her animals. She had become masterful at re-sequencing DNA of humans. She even had a couple of trapped Goa’ulds, and Tok’ra at her disposal. They had found their way to her Island where she had called them to her side, but, being the fools they were, they refused her and tried to leave. Now, they would be stuck with her until the end of their days. However short or long she allowed.
Secluding herself with her animals, Circe rarely left the island to find out what was happening amongst the Goa’uld and all their enemies. She often sent her companions, birds, mostly, to be her eyes and ears. It worked well, she got more information than if she had gone to find out by herself. Her fleet had been dwindled down to almost nonexistence but she was slowly working on building it back to its former glory. It was why she was staying low. One day, she would see lordship again. And maybe, if she played her cards right, would usurp another of the overlords and take their place.
Circe moved and stood up. The animal sat there watching her, as if it didn’t want her to leave. She smiled and ran her hand through its fur. “I’ll be back for you.” She said. “Pyk!” She said a bit louder to get the attention of a servant.
A scrawny bit of a human came scrambling from a different room. “Yes, my lady.” He said, going to a customary bow and waiting.
“Make preparations for me to go to the mainland.” Circe ordered. Pyk nodded and scurried off to do as ordered.
Circe nodded in approval and turned to get better dressed for her visit to Athens. She had a feeling there was something there she needed to find out for herself. Just who she had to get it from though she was going to have to figure out.
Earth Athens, Greece
A walk through the beautiful city of Athens was just the thing to bring about Circe’s day. Ahead of her was the Parthenon, a rather spectacular sanctuary for Athena. She had it big as an overlord. Circe tended to avoid that particular Goa’uld unless she had a reason not to. She didn’t really have that bad of a reputation with her but she was a daughter of Zeus. Circe, was on the side of Hera. Hera, she found, was high maintenance but overall kind to those that served her. She did rule with an iron fist though. Circe tended to avoid her as well. She tried to think of one overlord she didn’t avoid but failed to do so.
Circe had come here for a reason. A reason she was sure to find out when she heard it. She was at the base of the Parthenon. She paused and looked up the stairs to where it would lead into a grand sanctuary. Circe narrowed her eyes some and then looked to the sun. For the time, she turned down another cobblestone street and began to walk again, keeping her eyes and ears open.

Athena waited until Hermes had left her temple, then she indicated to Hebron to approach her and bow.
"What do you wish to tell me?" Athena ordered.
Hebron: "Mistress, we have received word that there is a small resistance group hiding in what the Tau'ri call Dublin, Southern Ireland. With permission mistress, I would like to lead the Jaffa to crush them!." Hebron said and saluted using his right arm and thumping is across his chest.
Athena thought about this. There were always small groups of Tau'ri forming to be rid of her, the Jaffa and the rest of the Goa'uld holding dominion over Earth.
"You have my permission to locate them and bring them before me. We will hold a public execution to make examples of them. The Tau'ri must learn that I am their goddess and I will not be disobeyed!" Athena said. "You may go" Athena ordered Hebron.
Hebron: "Yes mistress. I will not disappoint you."
"You better not Hebron." Athena said menacing.
Hebron: "Mistress, there have also been sightings that Circe is in Greece. Do you wish anything to be done?."
"Circe you say, *ponders* I haven't seen her since she lost her last battle with Hermes - when she lost her whole fleet *chuckles evily*. Ensure that she is closely watched and report everything to me." Athena said quietly.

Earth Athens, Greece
Circe wandered into one of the many food places. Her stance changed ever-so-slightly. She glanced around the place, not really looking for anything in general. She noted several suitable targets to perhaps pull some information from. She walked over and took a seat in one of the chairs at an empty table. A human female walked over. Circe smiled pleasantly as she was asked if she wanted anything. She ordered a drink, but her main point of interest was sitting a few tables over.
A few minutes later, Circe was given her drink. She sipped it but decided it was too sweet. Nothing like her wine. She drank it anyway, carefully listening to the conversations around her. Much of it just simple gossip. She still wasn't finding what she wanted to. The man that had been her initial interest, finally was growing fidgety as he had noticed her lingering stare. When he finally met her eye, she smiled softly. He seemed to relax a little bit and smiled before starting to get up and leave. Circe finished off what was in her drink and subtly followed him out.
There was a short time, Circe went unnoticed. It wasn't until she herself began to have the feeling she was being watched that her guard began to get the better of her. She could not identify what was making her so paranoid. She stumbled into the person she was following. He jumped and turned around. "You."
Circe stepped back and bowed her head. "Forgive me. I was not paying attention to where I was going."
"You've been following me. Who are you?"
"Circe." She answered, giving a slight bow.
"Circe, where have I heard that name before?"
"I've not a clue." Circe smiled sweetly. Of course she knew exactly who he was with. "But I'd fancy a guess that you are one of many in Hermes' control?"
The man suddenly looked suspicious and took a step back. Circe didn't drop her expression. "Why do you want to know?"
"Oh, just a man of your stance speaks much." Circe answered serenely. "And I know of the strength his force is slowly gaining."
"I..." The man started to grow even more suspicious. She interupted him though by placing a finger against his lips.
"I'm just idly curious. No need to worry about me. You look tense. You know, there's an island just south of here where you can take a true break. This City is all hustle and bustle, it's no real place to take a few days refuge. The people there will take good care of you." Circe answered. The man looked a little intrigued. "I'm headed there this evening as it was. Maybe I could meet you there?" She smiled.
He thought about it a moment. Though still unsure of her, he nodded almost obediently. Circe's smile brightened. "Wonderful. One last thing. Is it just you taking a break down here? Or is Hermes enjoying his stay as well?" She asked.
"He's here at his estate."
"Ah, that is good. Thank you. You have been of great help to me." Circe said. She raised up and kissed the man's cheek. "I'll hopefully see you later this evening." She smiled once more before starting to walk again. ~Well well Hermes, you need smarter followers.~ She thought to herself with a grin as she walked on. When the man would reach her island, he would indeed be taken care of. He would be taken care of properly, but if he tried to leave, would be stopped. She had many forms to stop people from leaving, her most favorite being seduction. He would be a key to helping her get an insight as to which moves Hermes was going to make.
Circe a little while later, looked to the estate that was deemed as the 'Hermes' estate. She knew she would be mocked by him since she had lost her last battle against him. But it had been a back and forth project for quite a while. He just was able to best her much faster than she could gain advantage. But, perhaps she could gain a little equal ground in which to slide by unnoticed. If she was at least on neutral terms with everyone, she could better rebuild what had been taken away.
Circe stepped up to the gate where a couple Jaffa were guarding it. She gave them an amused smirk that played in her eyes before she spoke. "I wish to speak with Hermes. Tell him it's Circe and I'm sure he'll send me in gladly to once more laugh at my defeat." She stated.

Earth Capital City : Athens, Greece Hermes Estate"Come now Apophis...Tell me. Where is the prototype., no one can save you But I.. Come now Athena made both of us her slaves. You can have a chance to end her" Hermes said, a smile played across his face. Apophis wasn't talking. He signalled his Jaffa to place a Memory recall device on him. "Take it from his mind" he whispered to his Jaffa. He walked out and summoned his slave.. She was a Pregnant Human.. He felt sorry for her.. The child would be born in under a year.. It deserved something better than what the working camps would have. A Jaffa came around the corner and alerted him to the presence of Circe. "Yes by all means" he said to the Jaffa. He knew she tried to convert one of his operatives.. He sat in a chair putting his legs on the arm of the chair he waited. Signalling the Human to leave, and making his Jaffa stand guard. Circe walked in. Another amused smirk crossed her lips as she saw Hermes so calmly sitting. "Oh come on now Hermes. Surely we're past this by now?" She said. "No need to get all comfortable on my account." "My dear, as usual your clueless.. I was like this when overseeing the destruction of your ships and planets" He replied with a genuine smile. Circe laughed. "Of that I have no doubt. You were never one to get your hands dirty. You cower behind those you call followers." She stepped into better range in front of him. "My dear, least mine won't try and leave me or cower in fear of being turned into an animal, you on the other hand have to troops, no ships.. Nothing.. Right now I could bombard your island.. I was going to do it while your still on it of course" he said with a small smile. Circe kept her ever-present smile. "I would expect nothing less of you." She shifted. "And mine don't cower. They respect. At least I do take care of them. But nevertheless, I have more at my disposal than you might think." She stated. "I underestimated you last time. Second time around I won't." "There won't be a second time Circe" he said waving his fingers. The Jaffa aimed their staff weapons at her. "You See. Athena may not care about you, But you are a thorn in my side.. A thorn I will get rid of right now" he said now sitting up in his seat. "Unless you have something to offer?" he asked Circe calmly looked over at the Jaffa then back at Hermes. "What you didn't destroy of my fleet. I have spent time repairing. I know you've been trying to get rid of Athena for years. While you may see me as an enemy, I see you both as one. And my enemy's enemy is my friend. I'm offering an alliance to help you end Athena's overlord title." She offered. Hermes had to laugh. "My Dear you have always been Hera's play thing.. You have about a Dozen Al'Kesh.. Maybe less" he said laughing, he knew all. "Why help me, You see I know how this game is played. Either you go to Athena and I we will both get rid of you in the end" he said truthfully. "Go back to your island nymph... Stay there. You don't belong in the Empire. " He said walking around the room at a steady pace. Though her offer intrigued him, she had no real value. "If I'm no use to you then why don't you go ahead and have your servant kill me?" Circe asked. She merely turned her head and watched him. "Is there something else perhaps you think I might have to offer you?" She continued, turning slowly and sitting in the chair he had been occupying. "No.. Nothing comes to mind my dear.. But its a waste that my Jaffa have to shoot something. They might miss and hit something dear to me. You have nothing to offer me Circe.. Unless you can think of something.. You may leave" he said letting her go. He just wanted her out of Athens so he may pummel her estate with her in it. He was sure Athena would approve. PM Between Hermes The Great and Circe The pathetic one

Circe just looked at Hermes. She settled into the chair more. "I'm not ready to leave yet. You've made me such a warm welcome." She practically purred, though it was only teasing to get him aggravated.
"Let me put it in a way you might understand girl. You no longer hold any position within the system lords, You have minimal ships which I say is in bad repair. Frankly I could storm you little paradise and then destroy it after I get what I want. And I always get what I want.." he said as he strolled around the room.
"Oh, I understand." Circe said mockingly. "But here's the question for you, Hermes. Why haven't you done it yet? You've had nearly a year since my arrival. When I was at my weakest point."
"Hmmm.. I give you credit. My forces were not in position at that time, so I was in a 'weak' moment. But thats passed. Plus.. I was distracted by other things" he said. He was searching for Apophis and his super weapon. Which Hermes now had control of.
"Ahh, so you're telling me this. I'm a thorn you can endure and even ignore upon your whim." Circe waved a hand before straightening one of her rings into proper place. She chuckled. "Alright. I guess I can accept that." She pondered an idea and looked over at him, but hid the thought from her facial expression.
"My dear your alive because I wish it. Its that simple.. I wouldn't reconmend you pondering things, that don't concern you. People die that way" Hermes said bringing a small smile to his face. He could storm her island now and could have her tortured or.. Hermes shook his head. He never trusted a woman that served Hera.
Circe stood and slowly approached him, little to no caution in her stance. "Perhaps." She said. "But you see, I think it does concern me. Seeing as how it's my life you're toying with." She grinned slightly, watching him in a decidedly careful fashion.
He reached out and grabbed her neck.. "Never approach me in that fashion again.. or I will kill you. Understood Nymph" he said pushing her back into the chair. He looked at his hand with a scientist looking at those monkey's.
"You bore me.. as usual. Go back to Hera.." He said smiling. Hermes now had a force to be recon with. Except for Athena.. He was one of the main system lords.
Circe rubbed her neck. She hadn't approached him quite the way he knew she would in time. She smiled softly. "Right. That's why you let me live." She stood again, staring him in the eye. She wasn't going to tell him what exactly she thought of Hera. Circe remained hidden. Maybe it was time to start taking up new allies. An amusement played on her face at the idea. "As you wish then, by your leave. Was good seeing you again." She told him, taking a small yet insincere bow.
"My dear.. you won't find many allies here.. You will be alone. I reconmend you stay on you island.. heed my advice. And I won't destroy you" Hermes said giving his only offer and he started walking out of the room.
"Who said anything about finding allies here?" Circe scoffed at him. She looked him over before. She wouldn't have much use for her island anymore. She now had a new goal in mind. Though she may be killed in the process, it would be wonderful to see the look on all of the overlord's faces.
"Because that is what you have always done. Yes yor host gives you the.. look of beauty.. but you are the poison in the viens of the system lords.. It won't work with me.. and Athena will kill you when she gets sick of you." He said turning back to her.
"Of that I have no doubt." Circe answered him. "As would you. But then again, you're Athena's little play toy like I'm Hera's." She said, meaning in many forms. She paused at the door leading out but didn't glance back as she reached for the handle.
Hermes burst out laughing. " You still have the talent. Yes I admit I'm not in a high place. But I have ships and forces under my command. Athena knows I want her dead. But we both know we need each other for now. Hera.. gave you nothing but her table scraps.. It seems I have the better deal" He said. A year ago she would have been shot for a comment like that. But Hermes had changed.
"I recieve more than you think. Good day Hermes." Circe smiled as the door opened effortlessly. She held it open and turned back, giving him a wink and a grin. "Don't have too much fun without me."
Hermes gave her a bow as the Jaffa escorted her out. "I don't think I know.. Say gooday to your 4 Alkesh and squadron of gliders for me" He said returning to his chamber to meet with his prior engagement with Apophis.
Circe wanted to say what was on her mind. But didn't bother. It would end in denial. It was fun to annoy him. He'd given her something to consider though. She headed into the city again. "So...you system lords think you're all powerful eh? We'll see about that." She grinned, and disappeared into the crowd of Athens.

Earth Capital City: Athens, Greece Parthenon
Athena was laying on her couch surrounded by slaves from the Tau'ri, both male and female - mostly male, being feed fruit and handed goblets of wine. Some of her male slaves were fanning her with large fans which had beautiful feathers coming from them. Although she was surrounded by Tau'ri slaves, she knew that she was safe - she had a squadron of Jaffa along the walls and each of her slaves had a device that was situated on the side of their necks, each of these devices were connected to the neural pathways that would paralyse them should they even touch her without permission. It was a device that Thoth had given to her showing his loyalty to her and acknowledging her reign over the Goa'uld. She still didn't trust him though - she didn't trust any of them not even her lover Anubis.
Athena was about to accept another grape from one her male slave's when Hebron walked into the room, thumped his hand across his chest and bowed before her.
Hebron: "Mistress, may I approach you?"
Athena acknowledged him by nodding and raising her hand and pointing to a spot before her.
Hebron: "Mistress, I have great news - you have captured the resistance in Dublin - you are glorious my goddess" he said and kneeled in front of her.
"Hebron, I am pleased to hear such great tidings. How many did I capture?" Athena enquired.
Hebron: "Mistress, you captured 46 Tau'ri. Unfortunately, 13 were killed during the attack".
"Was there much of a resistance?" Athena asked.
Hebron: "They were caught unawares mistress. Some Jaffa were killed during the ........".
"I do not wish to know how many on my side were killed Hebron" Athena said cutting Hebron off. "Prepare the court, I want them executed in 1 hour. I want every single Tau'ri who lives in Athens to be there. Do I make myself clear?" Athena ordered. "Oh, has there been any further word on Circe?" she enquired.
Hebron: "Yes mistress, I will do as you ask. Our spies advise that Circe was invited into Hermes estate and stayed there for 10 minutes before leaving with an expression that could only be described as anger".
"Good, now go" Athena ordered and watched as Hebron stood up, thumped his hand across his chest again and backed out of the room.
Athena then stood up from her couch and shouted "leave me - all of you". Athena watched as all her slaves and her guard left the room. What was Circe up to? Obviously whatever she was trying to get from Hermes didn't work out - good.
"NIKE" Athena yelled.
A woman with long gold hair ran into the room and kneeled before her.
Nike: "Yes mistress - how can I be of service to you?".
"Nike, assist me with dressing - I need to look presentable for a public execution" Athena said and chuckled evilly. Athena watched as Nike visibly cringed "What is the matter Nike, don't you agree with my entertainment?" Athena asked and watch as Nike looked up.
Nike: "You are my goddess, whatever you say is law - I obey you with my heart and soul".
"Nicely said Nike, now go and set out my clothes and bring my communication ball - I want this broadcast around Earth" Athena responded.
Nike got up from the floor and left to Athena's bedroom chamber to set out her clothes.
[glow=red,2,300]One hour later[/glow]
Athena looked out of the window which overlooked the court of her temple. She could see many people out there looking terrified. She watched as a squadron of Jaffa walked out and stood on the top of the stairs that lead into her sanctuary with staff weapons at the ready. Athena moved to where Hebron was standing, followed by Nike who was holding the communication ball.
"Let us not keep my devoted people waiting any longer Hebron" Athena said and walked to where her throne was situated and sat down. Hebron stood to the left, Nike to the right.
"Bring the prisoner's in Hebron" Athena ordered and watched as Hebron nodded to the guards guarding the small resistance group. The guards lead the prisoner's to stand in front of her - some had their head's bowed, others looked up at her with defiance in their eyes.
"Citizens of Earth. Before you are terrorists who wish to create chaos in this perfect world I have created for you. They will be made an example of today - WE DO NOT DEAL WITH TERRORISTS! I am your goddess and all I ask from you is your obedience - have I asked too much from you? I do not believe so, I have given you food and drink, clothes to wear, money and shelter and how do you repay me? By disobeying me and my laws! However, I am a lenient god - I will only execute those in front of me - not their families. I warn you now - all of you - whoever disobeys me from this day forward not only will you be executed, but your families will be as well. Do not disobey me - I am your goddess and I love you all - you are my children and I wish to protect you from all those out there that wish harm to befall you" Athena said to the crowd before her.
"Hebron, now" Athena ordered. Hebron nodded and gave the order "Jaffa kree - execute now".
The Jaffa fired and killed all 30 prisoner's - although not with finesse as many of them started to run away - Athena had ordered that 16 were to be kept for further interrogation.
Hebron: "The task is complete mistress. Shall I dismiss the crowd?"
"Do that and clean up that mess" Athena said and pointed towards the dead and dying.
Hebron turned to his second in charge and gave the order to dismiss the crowd and clean up the mess in the court. He then walked up to Athena, thumped his chest and said "one of the prisoner's talked during the interrogation mistress. He said that not only were there resistance groups on Earth, but many Tau'ri managed to escape and colonise other planets where they are planning to take back this planet".
"Are they? Well, we will be waiting for them! They will be found and crushed!" Athena said angrily and stalked back inside.
OCC: It's an evil post - all the more for you all to hate me even more!!! :-D

Athens, Greece
Circe watched, ever vigilantly the 'show' Athena had put on for the fearful. Her speech, she wanted to laugh but found it inappropriate to do so. The meeting with Hermes didn't go as expected but had given her some new territory she needed to expound upon.
"At least I am not a Goddess who has to kill to evoke fear. And I do not need to kill to prove a point." Circe muttered under her breath as she watched the sixteen Tau'ri were escorted back. She knew what awaited them. And if they knew what was good for them, they'd be wishing for death instead of life.
Circe was prepared to make enemies. Hermes was already one. Though she still couldn't help but wonder why he had let her live. He said he wanted to destroy her while on her island. Cowardice enough he could not do it with his own hands.
Iris appeared beside her. Circe glanced to the messenger. "You had best be advised you're being followed. I know of what you think Circe."
"Hm, but see. Being followed isn't my problem. It's theirs. They're afraid of me even though I am weak." Circe looked up to where Athena had stood. "Funny. Don't you think?" She grinned lightly.
"Indeed. But you don't need to be making a bigger enemy of Athena. She is wholly powerful. And Hermes is her hand puppet."
"Yes. He is. His will falls when he knows he cannot win. He's arrogant otherwise." Circe grinned more at the thought. "I need a favor Iris."
"What this time?"
"I need you to find me someone who can get in and get the information Athena will extract from her prisoners. It's imperative that I know."
"How can you be sure they are what you need?"
"I just do." Circe turned and walked away. She had another visit to make. But however it would be just a simple visit.
"You know it won't be easy."
"No. But you're the best Iris." Circe walked away completely. Leaving Iris to choose her loyalties. Meanwhile, Athena deserved a visit.
Parthenon
Circe held no fear in her stride. She also held no show that she would bow before anyone. Hera didn't even get that treatment. But then again, Hera was weak anyway. Fueled by her jealousy and malice that Circe was sure would be her death. She waited eagerly for that.
Stepping into the main halls leading into the Parthenon, Circe had to had it to Athena. She held a beautiful estate. It was something to be admired. She continued walking further, ignoring the jaffa watching her.
Looking displeased, Circe caught the eye of Athena as she had wandered somewhat deeply. She tried to catch a hint of surprise with the visit, but saw none. She smiled to the woman. "Quite a lovely show, Athena. Glad I was there to see it. How many murders does that make now?" She asked, a wry grin on her lips.
