Message | In four hours, a terrorist attack will take place in Ferene City, killing thousands of people. You have, in custody, a terrorist that helped plan this incident, who knows exactly where and who you need to arrest to prevent the attack. However, the Nova Prospekt Party, with its wondrous command of priorities in government, would probably be feeding our prisoners fois gras. |

Message | If you actually knew who the terrorist is when interrogating him, we would also know what terrorist act they are going to committ to be terrorists. This hypothetical scanario is both old faux pas and upon, closer review, poorly constructed. Prisoners under torture will confess to anything under physical and emotional strain. Let us know when members of your party wish to be subjected to these barbaric acts for the interest of security. |
