[Athena gives her head a small shake. He’s speaking in riddles. But the lack of the ECHO device on his face doesn’t seem to be impairing him in any way and she supposes that’s what matters.
Anyway, it becomes increasingly difficult to focus on the matter as they make their way deeper into the mansion and Athena picks up on the aroma of what she guesses to be food, though she can tell by smell alone that it’s nothing like the food on Pandora. It smells sweet and appetizing, without the sterile chemical scent of prepackaged rations or the underlying fetid stink of roasted skag or rakk.
She hides her curiosity well, walking along with Boxer and Red until they come to a dining room; it’s just as lavish as the rest of the house, though Athena’s already learning not to look quite so wide-eyed at the opulence.
She lets Boxer seat her, and though the main course might not be on the table yet, she seems intrigued enough by the salads -- they’re certainly more colorful than the few vegetables that grew on Pandora. Still, she watches Boxer and Red instead of reaching for any of the dishes herself: even a green recruit knows that COs eat first.]
