[Athena's been to cities before, but T-Bone Junction doesn't hold a candle to how utterly massive this place is. Buildings reaching upward farther than she can even fathom -- literal skyscrapers -- and more people than she's ever seen in one place. She feels a little like a bumpkin, which is embarrassing, and she has to keep reminding herself not to gawk.
It's a little easier to feel okay about openly staring at people getting cornered by a gaggle of aggressive aliens, though. They're cornered in an alley -- mistake number one, Athena thinks -- and she pauses, trying to decide if it's worth it to get involved. Her inclination is to move on because it isn't really her business, but she's still thinking about it, so she's not completely sold yet.]

[This situation, on the other hand, is considerably more palatable than watching some randos get threatened on some side street. Athena doesn't know the person giving her commands, but they're commands, and she knows how to follow those very well.
While a part of her would rather be in the fray with her plasma sword in hand, she's got enough experience with Stingrays and Moon Zoomies that she's just as comfortable using the hoverbike. The controls are easy enough for her to figure out, and she zips ahead a bit, though she has to turn the wheel hard to avoid smashing into someone whose own bike is stalled.]
What the hell are you doing? You're in everyone's way, get going!
