"I was surprised at how many people believe the Gallente will take the cerebral route. They're easily the most hedonistic of all four Empires (or, at least, they're far more open about it than the rest), and as a result their way will be the most overtly physial."
"it's fun to joke about getting screwed to death only until it actually happens to you and you have no say in how it goes" :s
"The Caldari, on the other hand, are going to be very cerebral in their work."
Is that why one can never rent Room 1o1 when docking at Caldari station..? o.(

It was initially for just our corp members, but anyone who wants to read the chronicles in-game can. I included the short stories, and the race histories too, all under our corp site Fiction page. Visit that here:

Originally by: CCP Abraxas
Originally by: Tarri Only thing that bothers me is that a society that uses implants, clones (where knowledge is stored *hint*) and warp drives still has to use torture instead of some sort of "mind scanner".
The posters here have covered this point pretty thoroughly - money, impetus and technology are all stumbling blocks - but also, keep in mind that people are being tortured. Not investigated, not put under corporate pressure, not pumped for information, but actively being broken down in body and spirit. Torture has its uses, revolting as they are, and they're much more on the order of enforcing civil obedience than of acquiring information. Terghon Tu touched on this, and the last lines of dialogue in the Minmatar story have an intentional reference to the last lines in the book he mentioned.
The Gallente and Caldari stories will underline the point that no matter what anyone claims to the contrary, the primary reason for torture really is the torture itself. The Caldari story does actually have a fairly advanced piece of mind-scan-ish technology, but it's used in the manner I described: Not to extract information, but to exact torture on the victim.
But why torture if you only torture because you like doing it? That is the most despicable thing a human being can do. Why should you break an ennemi already under your mercy? It makes no sense to me. If all this stories of torture are about "state sponsored" torture, then they destroyed my view on the world of EVE. All faction became identical, no big difference except one having golden and the other having rusty ships... ----
