"Is Athena up to her usual tricks?"

"What do you mean?"

"She's been angling for the CEO role for a while. It wouldn't surprise me if she's intentionally setting things up to make you look bad."

"No, I probably just screwed up." I looked at my calendar on my phone. "Sure enough, I had a meeting scheduled with her. I don't remember seeing it this morning but Kalliope wouldn't have double-booked me."

"Don't be too sure about that. Muses and Moirae works very closely with Golden Apple Investments -- as does Hellrazr and Nemesis. They may all be working on Athena's behalf."

I thought about it. It certainly fit with Eris' concerns that I was being too trusting. And the anomaly had gone out of her way to make it clear that she didn't want me to look empowered ... could this be part of the reason why? Kalliope had consistently seemed friendly and helpful, but it was such a political environment I could certainly imagine some hidden agendas.
