A pirate's tactic

[freearcadia]

This is more directed to those, who like me have been dragged to this world, though I won't fault a native for listening in.

I am curious as to what we might have in common: world names, languages, culture, technology - and what is different.

This isn't just idle curiosity or a means of trying to find some comfort of familiarity in such a strange land, but I suspect if there is enough of a commonality in one area or another, we could in someway use it to our advantage against the Empire.

I spoken a few languages, and my captors certainly wanted to make sure I can answer their questions...

That's unfortunately quite common. Those who don't learn our language quickly are often deemed useless and summarily disposed of.

[freearcadia]

That's the impression I've got. All the more reason to take them down.

[sapphirecontess]

Indeed. We're lucky to have skilled Outlanders like yourself fighting for our cause. It is my hope we can liberate many, many more.

How many do you think are being held by the Empire?

[sapphirecontess]

To be honest, easily thousands. The Empire sees it as an easy way to plug gaps in manpower, and with the frequent purges those manpower gaps are becoming increasingly apparent.
