Advanced Torture Techniques

[Miss Blonde]

[member="stardust"] would wake up in a very plain very ordinary room. She would be sitting in a very comfortable chair and the entire room had the comfortable calming flow to it of a therapists office. An easy chair was next to her and across from her a large cushy couch with a few throw pillows scattered on it. The ground bellow her was covered in lush soft carpet and the walls were painted an earthy brown with various artworks of nature mounted here or there. There were a few windows and outside they showed the Antecedent sky line of hundreds of sky scrapers as far as the eyes could see. They were very high up by the looks of things. Her weapons had been taken and she was not wearing the clunky orange pilots suit that she was captured in. Instead she had on a very light black shirt and blue jeans that felt very comfortable and fitting. Besides her there was a plate of cookies, they were store bought but otherwise okay.

There was a knock at the door then Patricia opened it to come in with a smile on her face. She looked to the woman and waved before coming in to sit down on the couch across from her. A lava lamp bubbled and oozed near it and she put her hand on it shaking it a bit. Looking over to star she spoke.

"So, you are awake. Please have a cookie." She said smiling and happily.

"we might be here a while. So let's talk about a few things, is it okay if we talk?" Patricia said with a very gentle tone wanting to make sure stardust was comfy with the situation

When she woke she looked around and tried instinctively grabbing her sabers"ahhh the heck"she looked down seeing her left arm still damaged her attire had changed weapons were gone even her sabers"

All right then "she kept a cook head despite this and looked around, true the place was very calming and nice" hmm*OK trace my steps now"she remembered getting shot down droids then poof woke up"

She looked at the cookies and decided to play it safe and not eat them, she heard the door open and her head swung to look at [member="Patricia Susan Garter"], the lady was smoking like they'd known each other

She relaxed some but kept on guard, first the being captured didn't mean she hasn't ran through scenario's in her head but this well was a odd when"where's my sabers, where am I and who are you"she asked calmly

Patricia smiled at the woman's questions and sat up in her seat, she was wearing a tight red dress and was sipping from a glass of water she had in her hand. She looked sweet and nice and was really not looking for a confrontation with the captive. So she have her a very straight forward answer when it came to her questions.

"I'm Patricia, I am the the Executive Assistant for the Red Ravens and you are on Antecedent right now." Patricia smiled again then crossed her legs. She set her water to the side then grabbed a throw pillow to place it on her lap, putting both of her hands on it.

"As for your weapons, they will be given back once you leave." Patricia said sweetly then moved on to what they needed to talk about.

"You have to understand this is a very tricky situation, and I red to ask you only two questions. Now before I do this you need to know that if you do not answer them you will not be harmed. We are criminals not savages who torture to get what we want. So first question." She said now sounding more professional

"Who orchestrated the attack, and what is the name of said organization. We lost good people who had husbands and wives and children yesterday and you should tell me please." Patricia said with a more stern look.

She looked at the lady and listened to her calmly and sat back, she could tell she was being sincere with her words and truthful. Antecedent, she looked out the window "antecedent huh hmm" one word poked at her well two actually red ravens"

So even if I refuse you'll just set over there huh"she grinned but his it by lowering her head and listening again to her. Two questions all she had to do she could be gone free no problem but she wasn't a rat or a traitor, but as [member="Patricia Susan Garter"] kept talking she started feeling some guilt but she pushed it off "I won't rat out on my friends" she said and looked away

 

[Miss Blonde]

Patricia respected that, she really did. She wouldn't want to eat out her friends either, but then again most people in the galaxy wouldn't give her this opportunity. So if the twe'lik didn't want to answer the questions that was fine, she would just have to live with the consequences of her actions.

"That's okay, but I'm going to make you a deal. If you tell me the name of who orchestrated it, and the name of your organization the Red Ravens will take no direct actions against you or your people." Patricia said genuinely and she meant every word of it.

"However if you don't tell me, you can walk out of that door right now. You can go home, see your kids, your friends, tell them that you didn't rat them out. Feel good about yourself." Patricia trailed off to a more dark tone of voice

"We will hunt you down, we will kill you, we will kill your allies, we will burn down your organization, we will kill your friends and we won't lose a moments sleep about it." Patricia gave the promise to the woman and waited for her response. The deal was legit and it was up to her.

"Choice is yours."

 

[Stardust Solus Skirae]

She looked back at [member="Patricia Susan Garter"] and listened to her she clenched her hands and nodded "how do I know that you'll live up to that promise *she was naive yes but war and time had begun to wear that down

She looked at her and kept listening almost jumping up and leaving until she listened again, she had no children only her friends, she lowered her head into her palms shaking it" war is pretty screwed up what is worse if the aftermath "she raised her damaged left arm as she kinda got lost in memories"

Patricia picked up her water and took a sip from it. The Red Ravens always kept their promises, she had nothing to fear about them directly coming to find and kill them if they she told her the information. Patricia had no reason to lie, yes they had lost a few good people. And yes they had lost a few hundred thousand credits worth of battle droids, but the guns had made it to coruscant. And they had been paid, reparations were given to the families of the men who died if they had any and everything turned out decently enough.

"Because, we are criminals. Our word means more to us than anything else, if we were to make deals with people then go back on them, we wouldn't be where we are today. There is honor among thieves and we always honor our bargains. So you can walk out of here knowing the worst that will come after you is some cut rate bounty hunter. Or you can leave here knowing that the Red Ravens, with all our ships, all our man power, and everything we have will wipe you off the face of this galaxy. Repercussions must transpire for us to maintain our galactic dominance, it's nothing personal or anything. It's just business." Patricia gave star dust the skinny and was very honest. Either way actions needed to be taken, it was just up to her how they would be dealt with.

"So let's not dance around anymore. You have time to think about it, you are our guest here and if you need anything at all just let us know. I apologize for your arm, if you need a doctor please let us know and we will facilitate your every need." The woman smiled and sat up in her seat.

She was snapped out and listen again"yes I know that much of bring a criminal is to be honorable "she said and looked out the window as she listened again to [member="Patricia Susan Garter"] talk decisions floating around *so your saying either way I leave with a threat on me" she got up and walked to the window looking out it" even when I leave here and my friends know I betrayed them how would it play out"she was talking more to herself thinking out loud

Please don't apologize for my arm it could've been worse"she looked back"besides to replace this arm would cost a fortune "she said and looked out again"

 

[Miss Blonde]

Patricia calmed herself at the woman's words, they were almost insensitive to her people but she had to remain the professional curtesy that was given to any guest of the Red Ravens.

"Of course there will still be threat, you attacked us. You killed good men and women, you destroyed thousands of credits worth of droids and equipment. I had to write fifteen letters to families today because their sons, daughters, mothers, fathers, sisters, and brothers were killed by you and your people. Some of them so badly that they can't have an open casket funerals. So yes, to assume there will be no consequences for your actions is insulting at the least." Patricia said with a bit bile and bite to her words. But she shifted her body back up to be more polite and non threatening with her body language

"We can have a technician look at it. At least get it functioning, we can't replace the Cortosis by the looks of it but we can at the bare minimum have it up and running." Patricia watched the woman ponder and hopefully she would understand that having a few bounty hunters after them was by far better than the Red Ravens wiping them out for good.

[Stardust Solus Skirae]

She looked out not paying attention to body language but only the words"I see"she looked at her arm and rubbed it"I'm sorry if I'm not seeming...caring just....things have been hectic a bit "sgr walked back and sat down sighing" there's no other way out of this is there huh*she said calmly looking at the woman

And yes please I'd like my arm moving again "sgs said before grabbing a cookie and eating it " hmmm"she put it down thinking"I know this'll seem well rude but I wanna apologize I was only listening to orders.

[member="Patricia Susan Garter"]

 

[Miss Blonde]

Patricia tried her best not to frown at her words, she wanted to apologize. She really wanted to apologize for the people who died. So Patricia tapped her fingers and spoke in a very calm but slightly angry tone.

"Only following orders? Well tell you what, how about you apologize to the families of the people your organization killed, how about you tell their children that they are going to grow up without a mother or father. There is nothing you can say that will make them forgive you, people are dead over a few guns and credits. Now with that, how you can make this better is by telling me who gave you your orders, and the names of your organization." Patricia said almost upset with her tone, but she could reign it in.

"And no sadly there is no other way. When you tell me you will be escorted back to your ship, we took the liberty of repairing it and restocking it, there is no tracking device attached, you will be given money for tolls, and you are free to go either way. You will be given a galactic standard day then a proper bounty will be filed against you and your organization, the Red Ravens will not directly attack you, nor your allies and you are free to go about your business. So please do the right thing, so I can give some peace to those families." Patricia said kindly then pulled out her data logger

She began to type a few buttons and soon an appointment was set in a few minutes to have Star's arm fixed and cleaned up.

She looked out and signed she would do what she promised not to do"the organization is the exposition fleet leader uhhh I'm unsure of really"the truth was the truth better to have something you can fight then to not be able to"she looked back her eyes tired looking"that is the truth mam

She looked at her arm"thank you for....at least giving my a chance
[member="Patricia Susan Garter"]

 

[Miss Blonde]

Patricia nodded her head and acknowledged what she had said, the Expeditionary Fleet. She was going to have to make sure a bounty was filed for each member and they would either be captured to spend their days in prison, or be killed by the hunters. But that was work for another day, for now Patricia had to make sure her arm was working. She was their guest and it was their responsibility to make sure they were safe and taken care of.

"Thank you, we will see to your arm right away." Patricia got up and opened the door. And soon a mechanic with a tool box came in.

The slightly balding man sat down and took star's arm In hand. Taking a few tools out he began to repair the damage to her robotic limb. Patricia sighed and leaned against the wall.

"Are you sure you can not remember the leader's name?" Patricia said with a bit of sorrow to her voice.

[member="stardust"]

 

[Stardust Solus Skirae]

She nodded looking down"listen when you put the bounty for me make it capture"she said then looked at her"that's my only and final request as your prisoner"she then gritted her teeth as the mechanic started working on her arm"

Yes I don't remember the name off the top of my head"she said truthfully as she reached out and made a cookie hover over to her"ahhh a good cookie"she ate it with s small smile
