YN's soldier describes life as a POW under AN's captivity.

[Rohkusen]

Should be a simple matter. How is life as a POW under AN's military's watch? It could be during or after a war. Now let's start

"Us? POWs? Not sure you can call us that when there's no guards to keep watch of us. We're gonna... conduct a tactical retreat from here."
- Rohkugeuk Liberation Ground Forces Jonseo (Private)

[Aason]

OOC:I'm pretend that I actually have a army for this thread

"Day 7, they're still persistent on making me break to get the info out of me. I fear they may find me of no use and execute me. I'm only praying that I'll be rescued"

-Private Ryan Kwolaski

[Islamic Salvation Front]

"They give us tons of food...The guards are Careless as hell
Honestly me and my Group feel guilty being so lucky, being captured by Pacifists..Too bad we're gonna escape, I already contacted The Caucasus Administration and they'd send a group to get us out..."

[The Indios Bravos]

Journal Excerpt, Frederick Olm

It's...strange to say the least, like a twilight zone. We get enough food and water to survive, but shit it's brutal. Adam is dead next to me, and for some reason they need three hours to drag him out and bury him. Thankfully, the compound is NOT being sieged any time soon. God Fucking Bless our comrades that don't even care about us.

Retrieved 30 minutes after said siege

[Queensridge]

“Fuck man I miss home. If I can say anything is that at the very least these guys haven’t done anything brutal, we get some food and water and horror stories that my grandparents gave me about when they were POW’s when Japan invaded the home country is luckily not the same here, but it’s not great of course. The guards (which by the way there are a ton!) mean mug the hell out of us the whole time, that sucks, but I’ve been digging with a spoon for the past week and I think I’m doing pretty good at making an El Chapo escape route!”

"Dudes, at least... at least, these are decent folks. They ain't likey to torture or maim just for fun and the food there... Sure it's ain't a king's feast, but at least it's fillin' enough so ya' don't turn into a freakin' skeleton with skin and fall over dead, cuz your own body munched itself. Ya' just gotta sit there and wait... or, I could plan an escape and return to da' warriors, cuz still, I am feelin' a bit hungry. A Reaver gotta consume more food than average person, ya' know... such an anomaly, price for being tough as hell and able to resist heat, cold and disease."-Warrior

[Afrikaner South Africa]

"Dear Charlize, Life as a POW here could not be any more unusual than in other places. First of all, they don't even treat us like we invaded their country, instead, they compliment us for doing it! they said it was to help us "liberate them the horrible conservatives" do they not know where we are from? and they give us this weird vegan food that tastes like, green? I'm not even sure. There's also for some reason, gender therapy here. what even is that? I'm so confused about this, but they don't seem to let us go anytime soon. I will hope to see you again my darling, hopefully very soon."

“Day 12, they’re not cruel to me as I’m kept in captivity, at least they give me food and water. However that doesn’t mean I’m necessarily in a position of luxury, and I’m hoping that I’ll be able to get out of here in one piece”

-Private John Anderson

[Afrikaner South Africa]

"Dear Helena, why the hell am I even a POW?!! They treat us so well, and it's not even funny! you'd think if we invaded their country they tortured us, but no! Instead they had us sit in a circle and discuss why we did it, we all just got up and left, Sergeant De Roux even stole the chair because he wanted it for his den. they also have this thing called "Gender therapy"? what the bloody hell is that? I'm quite fine with who I am, but they keep asking me for my pronouns, why??? Why do they care about that? This is why we have common sense and keep this stuff away from our kids. Looks like they don't even care if we walk out of here at this point! there's not even a fence around the camp! I heard Pieter say he found a radio and was contacting Colonel Van Wyk, so I will see you soon Sweetheart.

Hmm ..not yet much Security... Little Cameras and the guards are hella under-equipped, The place smells like crap and we basically eat garbage at this point, do they not know how to handle prisoners, Rather silly.i've already contacted the party and an army unit is about to come, these guys should pray...

[Azurnailia]

"I don't even know how I became a POW, they have no military to speak of, I have dishonored my family name. If I am returned, I will do so in shame, that is why I will be committing seppuku. Thank you my friends, but this must be done to redeem my name."

ja right, they could not have done that, also we treat POWs satisfactorily well, and they get access to contact loved ones, under supervision, and the Servers are also monitored for suspicious activity

“Man. This place is a fucking shithole, they just forced all of us to build Payless shoes! The food atleast ok but shit man, I miss home. Luckily someone snuck in a phone, so the boys should be coming any day now, but after this I think I’m done with war, I just wanna go game. The cops even look at you crazy if you curse!”

For Indios:
“I’ve been here for a month, and it’s whatever yknow, you gotta build iPhones and then eat, average stuff from a POW camp, but at night it’s creepy! Because I keep hearing people fucking SCREAMING! And it’s not even any of us! It’s the damn guards! At night they lose their mind and start YELLIJG AT THE TOP OF THEIR LUNGS! Maybe it’s a culture thing? But it’s a little bit too much for me, I need my sleep if I’m gonna be stuck here ffs”



BN: our POW camps are outside in the middle of nowhere Borneo, mostly ran by the iron cross and UN, with some government oversight too, there gonna be some work like gardening, camp maintence, some crafting with labor, but once that’s done you can have recreational time where you can pray, play some basketball or soccer, there’s some tv and games, or you can use a lil education facility and go learn or read, the guards are ok they’re mostly trained for de escalation and just have batons, but outside the camp is protected with our actual armed military just in case of anything crazy

[Timlandian Federation]

"It's different from the POW camps in Timlandia. there's much more, what's the word? Oh yes, freedom. We have recreational activities and we can play soccer and basketball. The guards are mainly armed with Batons but the Queensridge military is outside of the camp, some prisoners say that their there to shoot anyone who tries to escape. The buildings aren't great but they aren't bad." -Timlandian POW in Queensridge.

bn, Timlandian POW camps are huge and there is multiple locations of POW camps in Timlandia but the largest one is in Highland region. (Do the largest one) It has 20 acres outside on the side of a mountain but 95% of the camp is inside the mountain. The POW camp has about 5,000 guards armed with assault rifles and pistols, sometimes other weapons like bazookas or sniper rifles. It is damp inside the mountain and there are hundreds thousands of POW's. There are dozens of buildings that contain the POW's, these buildings are dark and damp and are infested with mice and other creatures. Most of the guards and POW camp officials live in Middle class-Upper class buildings on the Northeastern section of the camp, this is also where the person in charge is. During the day POW's do work like cutting down trees or breaking down rocks. The food is disgusting and there is barely any sunlight. During the night about 30 POW's cramp into a room for 20 and sleep on 3-4 bunk high bunk beds. If you are a POW, usually you can wake up and find rats and mice on you or in your bed.

[The Kaisers Syndicates]

Ugh I fear I'll never get off these damn islands and I'm here because our High Command doesn't give a damn about us! Sure we kidnapped a few generals but now we're useless I swear to God if I live through this I am not reenlisting it's so cold here too and damp...

[The Indios Bravos]

"Thankfully we can have barbecues every night, including barbies. The only thing we can't do is escape, but ok."

[Sangvia]

"I imagine they didn't kill me because I'm one of the only ones they've seen that still look human."

Estir sighed and paced around her cell. It was still surprising to her that she wasn't dead. They must be getting something ready to try and get her to tell information about the eldritch knowledge she knows of. She walked over and knocked on the door to the cell.

"Hey, can I at least get a smoke or something? I'm dying of boredom in here."

[Imperial-Octavia]

"There is no rational explanation for the things I've seen here. These...things, I dare not call them organics, hit me with some sort of unidentified energy and my shell just failed without any explanation and then I reactivate in this dungeon! That should be impossible but as of now I'm stuck on the floor of this filthy place they call a prison and these...biologically impossible creatures are taking me apart piece by piece and then they're somehow attaching my parts to their bodies, it's unnatural! I'd just switch out from this body but their magic is stopping that too! I'm already out of arms and a large amount of my database is corrupted but I remain hopeful that I'll be rescued soon... At least before that yellow sigil appears in my optics again..."
-Mechanator Kel'Pon

"These organics are treating me surprisingly well all things considered. They seem to just want more information about how I work and what the Imperium plans to do (I refuse to tell them of course) but they haven't resorted to ripping me open yet. They have called the Imperium fascist, which my database tells me is some human ideology that bears some slight resemblance to Imperial Thought, and some among their number have spit on me because of that affiliation but others seem to think I'm some sort of "alien" variation of their own leftist ideology. It's odd but it could be far worse."
-Mechanator Teletrix

BN, keep in mind that your soldier has a good chance of being assimilated and held in a holding shell if possible (see my justice factbook for information on what a holding shell is)

[Aason]

“They’re gonna “assimilate” me evantually, it’s only a matter of time. I’ll be turned into a metal husk. This may be my last message. So if my mom or dad ever gets ahold of this, I love you guys and please don’t grieve. I knew what sacrifices needed to be make to oppose the mechanical tyranny”

[The Terren Dominion]

"Good day to you Lord Commander Carnel
I hope this message reaches you well. I must admit, while my capture was a humiliating experience, my captors have treated me extremely well and I am in no danger here. I am certain they will release me in the upcoming prisoner exchange. I can't wait to rejoin the war effort, but honestly this has been a lovely vacation for me. I hope to see you soon."
-Sargent Beckmann Hofton from an Aason pow facility.

[Rumei]

"Do you know how fuckin' embarrassing this is!? Some...teleporter mishap or something, trapped my entire platoon here with no intel, no outside help, no vehicles or artillery...just infantry rawdoggin' it! So you know what happened? We got in a fight with these barbarians and we had to surrender after we ran out of power for our weaponry. They're so fuckin' backwards, man! No space travel or...anything! But they haven't killed all of us yet. Hell, they might be offerin' us a job because of our tech and magic. Whatever. At least I didn't die."
