Atnaia, to what level can the Lovsk SOAR cell claim to have ties to the Mesder cell (or to any of the cells which have access to the bio-weapon)? I'm trying to think if I can RP the guys in Lovsk having any relevant information, or if I should have them be a false-lead.

Atnaia I'm torturoring a SOAR dude. Is there anything he can know to advance the plot?

As much or as little as you like. I like the idea of Hohenberger not being tied to asingle cell, but floating around between cells inciting worse and worse violence.

Probably should have asked before writing a torture post, but, as per normal, I don't have a secific plot in mind. just let me know what you are intending to do with the scene and what info you want the guy to have.

I'm sorry. I wanted to write a conventional post but it logged me out so I got pissed and wrote this. What I want is a connection to the cell responsible and whatever information I can get (whatever you think appropriate )

Not what I meant. It is not my job to tell you how your plot ties to the overall plot. It is your job to tell me how you want to be involved. So tell me what info you got and I will let you know if it makes sense.

Great! I have many ideas. :)

Since you created the character - does he have some nicknames or do people sometimes refer to him in a certain way? For example, names like "the southern", "the Atish", etc.?

The info I am about to receive is who was responsible for the first attack and a possible attack in Kevora my biggest city. I am hoping that at the least I can stop the attack and at the most retrieve a small sample so a team of our scientists (and others) can work on.

I should just play up the fact that his name is a pair of Coheed and Cambra references and call him either "The Inferno" or "Al the Killer" or something. lol

That's fine. Although it'd be neat for you to just receive Hohenberger's code name or something, and not be entiirely aware of who, specifically, it is. More mysterious that way.

Nah, I landed on him going by Inferno. Especially since Jesse "Inferno" Kilgannon is pretty close to how I pictured him looking: http://vignette2.wikia.nocookie.net/coh ... 0602195043

Hey Polar,

I forgot to say that the boat isn't actually Oster. But never mind. Anyway, do you want to RP the crew's moves yourself? They are SOAR (or SOAR affiliates) and not actually Oster, so either of us (and even Atnaia) can do them. We haven't even specified if they have the bio-weapon in their hand or not... :P

No, I have a whole torture type scene worked out. Also they don't have the bio-weapon. It was a ploy for another ship which my intelligence agency will hunt down. I know they aren't Oster, I had just assumed that since they were out of Lovsk they had commandeered an Oster ship.

Technically its not torture, but more of a tell us whatever info you have, and if you don't we snap your legs and if you don't tell us after that we shoot you and move onto the next one.

Naw, they're impatient, they don't have time to torture these assholes. Snap legs, inflict pain, gather information, kill any survivors, move on.

Uh, no. Torture is widely proven to be the opposite of effective. At least, torture in the way you describe it.

Think about it. If I am breaking your fingers, one by one, and asking you to tell me something, and that I will stop if you tell me that thing, you are going to say the thing JUST to have your fingers stop being broken, right or wrong. Furthermore, torture treats memory like a sponge: squeezing it gets you more. But that's not necessarily the case. Forcing someone to try and remember things is more likely to produce false or skewed memories as people try and imagine details into existence that weren't there before, or their memories are affected by investigator bias.
