Ziost - Crown of the Sith Empire

She frowned and said, “Normally I would simply have my soldiers sieze my target and then subject them to Imperial sanctioned forms of torture… typically fourteen to seventeen hours of moderate torture should loosen their lips.”

“Of course after that is done one could then relieve pressure play the role of compassion and ease them back to trust, and then compare stories to see changes and find the truth somewhere in the middle.”

She then finished, “I do not think that would be an available option in most instances.”

Alister Dravvad wrote:"At parties like this, likely not." Alister agreed with a small smile. "Though from the sound of it, you would use these sorts of gatherings as a means to root out dissidents in the empire." An interesting idea.

"Do you think you would have much success?"

"I prefer machines and computers myself. Hmm... our focuses do not seem to overlap. Though maybe there is something that we both may be interested in?" Remmington ponders.

Lord Jo'ren Rath wrote:"Yeah. I've got that covered." He raised his glass. "Glad our paths crossed Lucinia Malveaux. Tomorrow then. I see a few folks here that I should speak to before the night's out."

Shelzais Sek wrote:"Well, the shit isn't likely to go down here." Shelzais chuckled to herself, a purring sort of sound. "One hears the Emperor himself may be in attendance."

At that thought she felt something like a cold finger running down her spine, and her face went uncharacteristically still and cool for just a moment. She knocked back another generous swallow of wine to recover her levity.

"Isn't there anything at all here you'd care to partake of in the meantime? Or else Darth Tayana may think you don't appreciate her hospitality. And her cellars really are... diverse." She waved her free hand playfully in the direction of the nearest refreshments table.

“No,” Tyr agreed openly, “but when it does, I will not say I did not see this coming. I will be prepared.” He sounded confident that something, somewhere, sometime was going to go down.

The shistavanen narrowed his eyes and glared at the free-flowing drinks, “I do not pollute my body with such things. I maintain a very strict diet.” He snorted at the folly of others, loading themselves with empty carbs. Not that he’d never partaken, but his requirements to allow such nonsense into his system were exacting.

"I have no baseline, so I am unsure," she said honestly.

"We all can gain from a more stable Empire, but if it is a concession you desire, something that I would grant you, I fear I can make no such promises. Until I sit upon that seat any words I might offer you, promises I might make, are meaningless."

"Know simply that my allies benefit greatly from my friendship, and serving the Empire is duly rewarded."

Lord Tenebrous wrote:"Mm," Shaisha nodded at that, and remained quietly contemplative as Dayana spoke of Corellian fashion. It sounded overall pretty dull.

"It is like an interesting duality in the galaxy - the more the dark grows, the brighter the light shines. At least, that might be what drives the Jedi on so."

Shelzais Sek wrote:"Oh, my dear Tyr, I'd hardly call this pollution." Shelzais deftly snatched a fresh glass from the tray carried by a passing servitor--organic, of course, not a droid, Darth Tayana was old-school--depositing her empty one just as neatly. "Leavening, at the very worst. I find it goes rather well with your other hobbies, personally." She shrugged. "But if you insist... how very like a Malgus trainee. Though some of them do break the mold."

Dayana Valthren wrote:"I had a very similar conversation about this. These Jedi, they speak of forsaking attachment and love but I have found that to be the opposite. Perhaps they have done so on an individual level but they adore their Republic." Dayana shook her head, a faint smile on her lips. "And that is why they are so resistant."

"I suppose that is another possibility. I will have to consider that," she said with a straight face.

Then a small smile crept into view on her face as she added, "Yes... obviously I have considered that."

Sylvain Torsin wrote:"Looking for as many partners as I can scrounge up. If you come across individuals interested in the well-being of the Empire rather than these proceedings concerning the Dark Council... Let me know." He said with refined poise.

Sinea Okatesh wrote:Sinea nodded idly. "Pretty words from a pretty woman. I will not rule out your pillar for the benefit of our Empire, but soon we will have to discus more concrete exchanges." She smiled lightly. "Who do you believe is in your camp now, dear Valkyrie?"

"I will be mindful to schedule any such torture around your schedule," she said politely.
