EVE Fiction

Eleven years ago:
Myxx stood in the doorway to her office and looked back into the room, it was no longer hers. She probably wouldn't ever see this place again, where she had worked while taking classes at the University of Callie. The Gallente Federation had been kind enough to fully pay for her education in return for a number of years in return service to the Federal Intelligence Office.

Myxx's vision faded as she looked at various pieces of furniture, her mind took over as events flashed before her.

The Caldari woman was crying, not out of sadness, but of fear. One hand gripped her shirt and held her to the wall while a fairly large handgun was held square to her face. Myxx whispered in a dangerously serious tone, her voice was dripping with venom and only likely looking for an excuse to pull the trigger, "Who sent you? Who paid you?! Tell me or I go after anyone you've ever met, loved or associated with".

The Caldari opened her eyes wide with shock, something in her told her that the Gallente wasn't lying or joking about the ability to do just that if she needed or wanted to. "You wouldn't!", the Civere replied with incredulity and a hint of supressed anger in her own voice. Myxx's eyes opened wide with a grin, "You think I won't?" she hissed as she let the Civere drop to the ground and exit the holding cell.

Another Gallente women was ready for Myxx to exit the cell block and followed her, amazed at what she had just seen of her co-worker.

"How... how did you do that?! You got her to break in five minutes and they've been trying for six months!" The question wasn't a reprimand, Myxx knew.

"First rule of how I treat my enemies: Emotions are a tool. The idea is simply that if you show the right ones at the right time, they have no reason or ability to doubt anything you have to say. A typical human response to agression is either retaliation with anger or submission for fear--" Her co-worker cut her off mid sentance, "That brings me to my second question: How did you get away with those threats?" Myxx smiled for just a moment, enough to betray what she was about to say before she said it, "Second rule is that I don't threaten people. If I say I'll do something, you can be sure its eventually going to happen. Might not be today, might be a year from now, but eventually, I'll go after her family when it suits me"


Myxx turned the light off and shut the door.

Present day:

Timeus nodded in agreement and handed the pad back to Myxx, "Do it". With that, Myxx left the room.
