Born
in Holland August 7, 1876 as Margaretha Gertrud Zelle. This young dutch
girl was to become Mata Hari. The Oxford English Dictionary describes
her as the "Prototype for a seductive spy."
She is the most
renowned woman spy in history. Her path from her homeland in
Netherlands to the
bright lights of Paris is as fascinating as the events surrounding her
arrest, trial, and subsequent execution.

After a failed marriage, she went to Paris
in 1905, assuming the name Mata Hari (Eye of the Dawn) and the persona
of a Javanese princess. She made her debut as an erotic dancer
performing to ecstatic audiences throughout Europe and Egypt.
Mata Hari's attractiveness, as well as her
apparent willingness to appear almost nude on the stage, made her a
huge hit. She cultivated numerous lovers, including many military
officers.
Supposedly, while in The Hague in 1916 she was offered
cash by a German consul for information obtained on her next visit to
France. Indeed, Mata Hari admitted she had passed old, outdated
information to a German intelligence officer when later interrogated.
Mata Hari herself claimed she had been paid to act as a French spy in
Belgium (then occupied by German forces), although she had neglected to
inform her French spymasters of her prior arrangement with the German
consul. British intelligence picked up details of Mata Hari's arrangements with
the German consul and passed these to their French counterparts.
She was arrested by the French on February 13, 1917 in
Paris. She was tried by a closed court-martial, found guilty, and
executed by a squad on October 15, 1917. Refusing a
blindfold she blew a kiss to the 12-man
firing squad.
Her remains were taken to a Paris hospital, for
dissection. Mata Hari's head was removed and for many years kept in Paris's museum
of anatomy. In a bizarre twist, researchers were baffled to discover it
had gone missing with no leads on its whereabouts. The museum,
thought to be the only one of its kind left in the world,
is located at 45 Rue des Saint-Pères, 6th Arrondissement, Paris.
And so begins this MicroBug's mission... |
The EyeSpy travel bug is a unique MicroBug that has its
mission embedded in a micro-film viewer. It is trained to be very
stealthy to
take advantage of the closest safe cache. If it survives its mission,
it will be issued new orders at that time. If it does not, all
knowledge of it and its mission will be disavowed. Guard it well... |
