OOC: That's...surprisingly close in line to Bailey's plans. They'd mesh well. Not that Bailey would believe him...at least at first.
"
OK, let's say I believe you. Why would you want to overthrow the Empire? I know what the Empire's done to me, but I'm not exactly in the position to risk everything I have do do anything about it." The lie rolled off her lounge as easily as ever; good. That meant that Tyrr hadn't arranged for a truth serum to be injected before she awoke. "What have they done to you to convince you to rebel?" Bailey paused for effect. "
OK, look, IF you convince me to join you--and it'll have to be a [bleep]ing good argument--I need a couple of guarantees. First and most important--as in, deal-breaker--is that I need absolute protection for three, possibly four individuals. They can't be touched by anything; I need them to live their lives safe and unaffected by whatever goes on with the Empire.
I don't care about much--this Empire will either live, or it won't, something will always be there to take its place. But I care about this, so if you agree to protect them and then later you screw up or decide to double-cross me, I WILL kill you. Understood? This non-negotiable on any level."
OOC: this is a custom unit, so it's only partly blocked (i.e. bursts of static). Assume that Curtis isn't hearing anything about rebellion, just the parts that would apply to Bailey's plan.
-Bailey's room-
Sure enough, Curtis hits a hidden switch with his knee. A window opens up at the back of the room. Odd thing is, the room has no exterior walls.
OOC: Investigate, or keep listening? :evil grin:
