Victoria looked into the mirror with her cold confidence as she slipped an implant in close to her temple and brushed her blond hair back over the dark object. She gave her black Caldari officers uniform a last go over before spinning on her stiletto boots and walked to her office.
Juras Nidgan waited in the dimly lit office for an hour, he was a highly trained professional Pod Pilot who was summoned to interview for a Caldari Banking corporation Ehr Financial. Victoria Ehr was the director of the corporate navy and so like many pod pilots Juras wanted a piece of the lucrative action. He was no fan of Caldari Officers, too snooty and stale for his taste but he knew this female officer had quite a reputation for being tough and respected.
Victoria Ehr walked into the office behind one of her security men. Juras just smiled but it was not returned.
"Stand at attention pilot!" The security guard barked
Juras snorted casually then he smiled seeing the Caldari were serious. "No way, I'm here for a job not to join the navy"
Victoria stood on the other side of the room and stared at Juras without expression, she was quite intimidating but Juras was use to it. He was a younger pod pilot but you don't get to where he is without seeing plenty more intimidating than a powerful woman in a black uniform.
"Stand up Pilot" Victoria asked with a cool voice
"Why?" Juras shook his head, immediately he felt a bit offended and defensive.
"Because I told you to; your in my office, on my time and wanting me to hire you, Stand up now!" Juras could see how she got a reputation for being tough, her voice could send shivers down a Ravens spine, if it had one.
"And if i don't, then what?" He said just as he was getting ready to stand up.
Victoria replied impassively "You walk out the same way you came in, you might have to stand to do that." With that she walked out with the Security man close behind.
Juras just sat in the dimly lit room amid silence, alone again. He was a bit shocked that she was serious. Before he stood up he quickly thought to himself why he didn't just stand up. On his way out to the docking area to his ship he could only shrug and start the process of looking for a new employer.
Docked in front of his small shuttle was a towering Raven Class Battleship. He was curious and walked over toward it. There were crewmen and dock workers doing their chores of loading necessities. Crew were dressed in casual work cloths with the EFIS logo for Ehr Financial. This Battleship was one of Victoria Ehr's ships. He just about bit his tongue in frustration, pursing his lips as he realized how close he was to piloting this magnificent hull of destruction.
Juras turned around and nearly fell back onto his butt when he saw Victoria was right there in front of him. He could see a dim light blinking behind her hair near her temple, an implant of some kind he thought.
"You will do what i tell you, won't you Juras Nidgan?" Victoria asked with somewhat of a welcoming voice that calmed him.
Taken aback still, Juras looked back at the Raven Battleship, then to the Caldari Officer with a nod. "Yes ma'am, I am ready if the offer is still available." he stumbled over his words.
"Be in my office tomorrow, we will talk again" Victoria accepted his reply and then walked away with her guards in tow.
Juras had just landed his best job ever, for the first time in his new pod piloting career he was about to command a Battleship, he was brimming with excitement.

Victoria stood in front of her mirror, brushing her hair back to unplug one of her implants. She smiled and was excited about her plans for this young pod pilot.
