"Hmm, it is difficult to say what will work at this point." Meesei answered. She crossed one arm over the other and held her hand up to her chin as she thought. "I have not yet questioned them enough to know how forthcoming they will be. Plain torture, in my experience, is not useful for obtaining accurate information. People will simply say whatever you want to hear. They have to have another motivation. In my questioning last night, I determined most of their names, and a few admitted to being infiltrators. Any information they can give us, we of course want, but right now, the primary questions we need answered are about their intentions, and their base of operations. If they refuse to cooperate, our best chance may be to use them against one another. Some of them might give away information that we could use in other interrogations, or if we can discover any specific connections between them, we might be able to take advantage of them. It would be useful if we could identify which one of them is the leader."

Once she was asked a question she could answer, Irenya was able to speak more confidently. "Yes, the impostor is stable. She was still unconscious when I left her last night, but according to the healers I questioned earlier this morning, she awoke in the middle of the night." She explained. However, her confidence faded once more after the conversation once again fell to her. She went back to her meal briefly before forcing herself to speak up once more.

"You and your...family, are you in good health? Have there been any complications from the conditions we have been in over the last few weeks. I had to prevent two cases of heat stroke during our travels, and some people were too conservative with their water rations. Be sure you are all properly hydrated, just in case." Irenya continued.
