Syo's shoulders rolled back, his lips parting in what was sure to be a vehement defamation of Aria's defiant nature. Not a moment too soon, Satele glanced at her compatriot, raising her brow. Their gazes met, a few beats of silence passing before Syo shook his head, sinking back into the chair, allowing Satele to speak:
"True enough. We are aware that the Sith have radical approaches to interrogation, but what you are not familiar with are some of the more...invasive procedures we resort to in difficult cases such as yourself. Of course, why discuss torture when I'm giving you a chance to escape the entire system that would squash you under it's heel given the chance. Just think about what would happen if we allowed you to return to Korriban. You would be a disgrace to whatever Master you're serving now. Captured by a Jedi and then released? How worthless do you think your Master will see you as? You couldn't even be useful to the 'weak' Jedi Order, implicating you as a frail vessel, one who could never survive at the Academy. You would be cannon fodder for your rivals, who would have ascended past you in the social order while you were in captivity and would leave you in the dust. Fate would more than likely have you executed or exiled, if your Master was feeling a bit of mercy that day. If not, you could be sent on a suicidal task of redemption which would end in an excruciating death at the hands of some vicious creature awaiting you in one of the tombs. So our methods may not intimidate you, but I would hope our offer of escape would prove enticing." Yerbol suppressed the urge to smile, knowing full well that Master Shan was usually never this subversive unless she absolutely had to be. It was refreshing to see the Masters use the fears of their enemies against them rather than assail them with endless proverbs from the Jedi writings. 

Although it was satisfying to hear Master Shan's tactful response, something nagged at him, something that Aria had said. Yerbol had been on several high priority missions involving discretion and secrecy, but this...this seemed to be out of his league. There were other Jedi more capable than he that were more qualified. He wanted to voice his objection, but dared not at this juncture. Once the air had been cleared, he would approach Master Shan and inquire privately as to why he was chosen. But for now...

"Master Shan speaks the truth." Syo smirked as he continued:
"Being captured by the Jedi makes you look like a poor excuse of a Sith."
