[Will Banowsky]

Mission: Murder on the Exeter Express

Day: 2

Stardate: 2445.12.02

(USS Exeter - Personal Quarters  - The Murderer - 0300)

The deed had been done. Tyko nix was no more. He was getting dangerously
close to discovering the truth, and that meant that he had become a
liability. He needed to be taken off the chess board. For all his gruff
exterior and ass holish demeanor, Tyko Nix was actually very good at his
job. Too good. The unknown assailant made their way to their bed and
climbed under the covers. By now security was probably scanning all the
footage they could find on potential suspects, people that had interacted
with Nix. People who didn't get along with him. Thankfully there was a long
list. This played into their favor. The man didn't have many friends.

~Pity~ They thought to themselves as their head hit the pillow and their
eyes closed. ~If only they knew how good of an actor he was.~

For the gruff exterior that he placed, not many knew it was all an act,
that Tyko Nix was actually a very nice and pleasant guy. But he found early
in his career that for some reason people were more likely to slip up,
talk, reveal things they wish they had concealed, when they were flustered
and pissed off. While the adage went it was easier to catch flies with
honey than vinegar, Nix found that people were less guarded with a "spy"
when they thought they knew the kind of person he was, loud and rude,
rather than wondering if the sweet pleasantries were all an act. A
philosophy that served him well. He had gotten a large piece of the puzzle,
was close to finding out the secret. That led him to the Exeter. That was
when they knew what they had to do. To preserve their secret, to preserve
their mission, Nix needed to die, the sooner the better.

Everything was in place, everything went off without a hitch. Right now the
clues were pointing elsewhere, especially thanks to some unfortunate
statements made by some likely suspects. They yawned happily as they
drifted off to sleep. The deed was done, another chess piece of the table.
They were one step closer to pulling of their Master's plan.
