the crack of a whip sounded throughout the cell block, and the screams of a prisoner confirmed its target. Despite the thick walls of the interrogation room, the sounds still flowed out to scare the other prisoners. Inside the room, there were three Abh. One was next to a table holding dozens of objects that looked extremely painful, and the two others were holding lasers to the head of a prisoner held tightly to a cold metal bed by carbon nanotube ropes.

The prisoner screamed louder than ever before, the screams echoing throughout the entire facility.

Technology will only be given after sufficient judgement has been made."
