You cannot break these people with pain.

I prefer something more subtle. In my time interrogating extremist's and heretics I learnt one thing.

You cannot break these people with pain.

I was familiar with some of the older techniques, apply psychosis inducing drugs, apply pressure to the weakest parts of the soul, pain, pleasure, fear, hate, terror. These things flow from there, you can learn how to break a man by listening to his own whimpers.

Vigorously apply boot. repeat as necessary.

Interrogation and torture are two totally different things. The Dragonaurs taught me that any information you need can be bought from trusted sources. Human intelligence shouldn't rely on how much physical pain you can inflict on an individual, but on the deeds of inside agents who can feed you everything you need to know from under your enemy's nose.

Not what you might call 'interrogation'... They taught me a great deal about that as well. Real torture isn't used to gain information, it is to send a message. Once you have completely broken you victim, you have to string him up for the world to see. It isn't enough to make them fear for their lives, you must drill away at them until they beg for death.

Also, don't think you have to get creative too or fancy with this either. Leave that to the Amarr. If you find yourself strapping a victim to an over sized mouse trap or dangling him over a vat of acid, you need to accept the fact that your inventions have less to do with reaching your end result and have more to do with keeping things fresh and entertaining whoever is doing the torturing.

Stick to the classics and you will never go wrong. An old standby of mine is to drive two rods of rebar through the front of the kneecaps and drive them all the way through so they are pointed downward in the rear of their legs. Tell them that if they can walk on their own two legs across the room you will end their pain. Nine times out of ten they will fail, and when they do... Well....



Once they are thoroughly bloodied, string them up by the rebar and leave them hanging for a good amount of time. When you think it has been long enough, cut them down and restart the process over again. If you keep them from swallowing their own tongue and you keep them hydrated, you can keep this act going for years until they finally break. While they are hanging, feel free to twist, poke, prod, and burn whatever on them strikes your mood.

I prefer the quick and honest methods of the Matar.

My personal favorites include:
-Shooting the knee caps and elbows
-Stabbing appendages to walls
-Sack or bag over the head
-Glass and rocks in the mouth while getting punched
-Dangling from a high place
-Choking
-Getting hit with hot pieces of metal
-Saying I'm going to slice open their throat, though, give them a beard trim instead. This is more of a joke, though surprisingly effective
-Drowning and choking some one in less than a foot of water
-Dislocating both arms by applying pressure to the back
-And of course, exposed electric cables to the back

Call me old fashion, but I prefer making use of my environment, rather than relying on torture chambers.

But I'm curious, what do you sickos like to do to get your info in this Cluster we call EVE?

That takes too long! I generally apply the technique in the very same place I have captured them, it generally takes no more tan 5 minutes, usually 3.

What is your position on interrogating women? I generally do not, cannot, at least not in the same barbaric style as I do men. Just me though.

A lot of people, especially the OP, seem to be confusing interrogation with torture.

Torture is but a means of extracting information. I simply share how I have been taught to conduct myself against the religious extremists the Amarrian Templars encounter.

As you can imagine there is often no way that an extremist would divulge any information, most times choosing death over capture, extraction of the information from the mind without destroying the body is the rule I have been taught.

That's a valid point, but as people have already stated earlier in this thread, torture seldom works as means to extract valid information from subjects. From what I have read in this thread at least some use torturous methods just to sate their own needs and twisted desires. I'm not going to even indulge in the ethical problems of this kind of interrogation.

As for myself, I was trained to withstand interrogation, physical and psychological. I was never taught how to conduct interrogations myself.

Never done it myself, don't intend to start unless there is no less than an entire colony at stake.

I assume that these methods are methods applied impromtu in the field.

I have never needed extra information in the field, apparently my Intel team is a cut above the rest.
