With an expression full of outrage, Merle shot a resentful glance at Raven, then turned to Doyle and spoke.
“Brigadier General Conrad, this woman's invitation is highly suspicious.
"We politely asked her to show it, but instead of cooperating, she lashed out and attacked this young lady."

downright laughable
Doyle, unwilling to waste another second, turned toward two nearby soldiers and barked, "Take this woman, who
has no invitation and still dared to sneak in, and escort her to the Regalhold Inspection Office."
