"You can know all you want, but you'll be alone"
"Thats OK. The knowledge that I possess comforts me"
"How is that possible?"
"Maybe one day you'll know the answer. Probably not. You had the potential to be my finest creation yet, and you squandered it like the fool you are. Goodbye."

-Excerpt of a conversation between two bitter enemies.

Myxx walked down the darkened hall of her hangar, in a secluded area where she kept her most dangerous of creations and captives, each for different reasons. Ducking into a side-room she stood behind one of the guards, who had been watching monitoring equiptment of a cell in which a small Gallentean man of Intaki decent had been sitting. Dressed in a lab coat, the man seemed to just stare off into the distance infront of himself. Myxx leaned over and whispered to the controller.

'All monitoring equiptment off for the next hour and a half.'

The Caldari who had been watching the closed circuit holo spun and looked up at her, shocked he had not noticed, or heard her enter. Not wanting to be replaced, and knowing of her temper, he did as he was told and left the room. Myxx entered the room and closed the door behind herself, locking it.

The man allowed a small smirk to grow on his face as he saw her enter and sit down.

'Oh, how pleasant for you to return. We knew you would, you cannot resist your own curiosity in your persuit for the truth'

Myxx remained silent and simply handed a datapad to the Intaki across from her, he promptly picked it up and looked it over

'Oh dear oh dear. You see, the difference between you and those... humans... are that they wish to pervert The Truth for their religion. Very well, We will give you what you want. We have a common target, afterall. Logically, it is to our benefit - and yours - to cooperate with one another.

One: "When she came back through the wormhole, she had a second pod with her. These biosigns were aboard it. The problem... is that they were originally registered over one hundred years ago. It cannot be correct, can it?"
Two: "Stranger has occurred, you know.."
One: "But that would mean..."
Two: "Like I said, stranger has occurred"
One: "But then that would mean..."
Two: "Have you ever considered that its on purpose?"
One: "But then..."
Two: "Yeah. I know. Do you have something better to do than this?"

An hour and a half passed as Myxx sat in perfect silence and listened, committing everything to memory.

"Though we understand your frustration with such needless distractions, and your desire to deal with them as we might you surely are schooled in other forms of warfare... perhaps you might consider coming back with us if they become too tedious?"

Myxx nodded at first but then stopped as the comment ended. She gently took the datapad as the door unlocked before exiting the room and locking it behind her.

One: "I'm disappointed in some of these people... it doesn't even really require effort to figure most of them out. I expected better."

Two: "My advice? You know the bulk of my advice, but we'd rather have you back home. Its been too long and you've ran out of challenges anyway. You even deliberately went about them the hard way..."

Three: "You seem bored, first off. I dunno what the **** you're looking for, what defines a challenge to you?"
One: "I have no idea anymore, frankly. I need something new, something that hasn't been done a thousand times over. Current stuff is akin to stabbing a helpless insect and watching it squirm and cry for mercy... and just blatantly not giving a rats ass"
Three: "..."

Four: "Any goals lately?"
One: "You get that list I sent you? Thats bout it, maybe finance some stuff and then that list I can pull off in three nights and be done with it. I dunno what else. What do you do when you've done next to everything anyway?"

Five: "Are you angry?"
One: "No. I'm bored and really don't care very much for dealing with idiotic people"

Four: "I've been thinking the same thing. Might finance some stuff, maybe help you with the larger parts of that list and then... I dunno... going combat active aint too interesting to me anymore."
One: "Again, I dunno, I've got a few ideas but... effort required is questionable at best"

Six: "You really ought to come home. Just say **** it and hide your wealth away, you can fund a thousand generations with that anyway. Finish that current **** off and then... let them wonder."
Seven: "I have no idea why either of us bother. What was this experiment for again? Oh, right... now I remember. I needed this outlet after all of this time but they aren't even that entertaining."

Four, Two: "Theres this other thing we're lookin at, you want in?"
One: "Maybe. I'm seriously tempted."
