-> '''Frost''': Miss Hardcastle is probably right in maintaining that torture would soon induce Studdock to give up his [[PsychicPowers wife's]] address. But ... the man may not ''know'' his wife's address. In that case ...
-> '''Wither''': Oh...there is nothing I should more deeply deplore. [[InsistentTerminology Scientific examination]] (I cannot allow the word ''Torture'' in this context) in cases where the patient doesn't ''know'' the answer is always a fatal mistake.

It is in every way unsatisfactory.

"The guy kicking demon ass across the multiverse?" Neptune grinned. Suddenly, he wasn't smiling and was glowering, "Those SDC dicks kept asking us about you over and over while they kept us down here!"\\
"..." William frowned.\\
"Yeah, like 'What's his connection to the ruins we chased those demons into?'" Scarlet scoffed. "Or 'Does he co-operate with interests in Atlesian superiority?' How the hell do we know?"
