[SoNE Ep. XI] A Useful Bluff

[Kodan Black]

Given the large scope of the Empire's operation we were all pulling duties we might not be usually assigned to. I had been sent to interrogate a captured Rebel. I figured that since I wasn't a trained interrogation specialist that this would not be a high value target. Since I wouldn't be dealing with a Rebel that would have likely been trained in interrogation resistance techniques I decided that bluffing would likely be my best choice.

I entered the holding room and didn't address the Rebel at all. I set about powering up the interrogation droid and busying myself with looking like I was getting things ready when I really was just doing nothing. I never directly looked at the Rebel but I could sense his growing apprehension.

Finally I finished with my "preparations" and got the droid positioned right in from of the Rebel. It was at this point that the Rebel tried to put on false bravado and defiantly said: "Do you really expect me to talk?"

I calmly replied: "No Rebel scum, I expect you to die."

The mask of arrogance was quickly changed into a sense of panic. "But ... but you haven't even interrogated me!"

"Correct. We know that you have little of value to offer us as far as information. But you do have value. You see, this droid here will make sure that your screams are heard in the nearby cells. And then THOSE Rebels will be far more willing to offer up their information. See, you can be helpful!"

I wasn't even sure if there were any Rebels in nearby cells. Or how well sound would travel for that matter. But it worked anyway. The Rebel started telling me everything he knew without me even asking.

While your minifig choice for the rebel is... interesting, your MOC and story are excellent!

[Forresto]

That rebel is a traitor and a disgrace to the firebird, you can keep 'em.

That being said I like your story and the MOC, especially the interrogation droid! It cracks me up that you're wearing a cowl but it works for the scene considering you're torturing the poor guy!

[Kodan Black]

I didn't want to use any of my Rebel pilots or anything obvious, I wanted to make him someone trying to blend in more.

[Kodan Black]

Updated the minifig.

[Tariq j]

Good MOC, I like that Goldfinger reference!

[Junior Shark]

Noice. The greebling on the back wall is pretty tasty.

[MontyPython]

Nice build! But... I liked the previous minifig more (:

[Kodan Black]

I updated because another Empire builder is going to be showing this prisoner's capture.

[Lord Tyrus]

Love the Bond reference! Very nice, clean build and good story!

[Manx]

Good work with build and story

[goatman461]

ha ha, Cheech joined the rebellion

[Forresto]

Nice I prefer the new rebel much more, the old one was a little distracting
