Hey so, I'm all for our gung-ho ends justify the means 'tude, but the last guys were, uh, not really bad guys. We didn't get any impression of badness from them, no memories of beatings to the townsfolk or enforcing party lines, just like, some dudes.

Once again if we vote to go full-on villian-with-a-cause mode I can play that game well, but just puttin' it out there for consideration. The guys on the lower rungs seem like just dudes with jobs.

Fair point (and why I suggested some sort of memorial for those guards.) Indeed, the Vulcan Murder Meld is particularly suited to higher-ranking officials, as permanent.murder of them would cause much consternation.

If we could employ the services of a skilled physician, we could abduct higher ranking officials and go with a "capture and release" style of intel gathering.

This way we would have more time to peruse memories. If we don't get what we want on the first dive, we can just knock the asshole out again. Also, no alarms raised due to dead generals or whatever.

Now we need to figure out how to get a physician to work with us, or steal the memories of a physician

... assuming there is some way of killing a person that won't still cause problems when they're resuscitated.

I mean yeah, that is physically/medically possible.

I vote we find one. We will need to be extracting memories while our "Doctor" makes sure the subject doesn't expire permanently.

I'm confused. When was it established that we can "resuscitate" dead people?

Regular doctor people can resuscitate dead people, provided they were made dead in a controlled manner.

Stop their heart for like 10s, etc.

It's questionable if that counts as death for our purposes. In order to hoover up memories, we need them to be soul dead, which I'm gonna say is probably not reversible. Even if a mage-doctor put the body back together perfectly, the resulting living being would be missing its Anima parts, which are now floating scattered around and being eaten by fishies.

Also, we've already tested Piecewise. He can talk but he just repeats things or says things we know.

Yes. He told us to be careful, so maybe we should check outside to see if anyone is nearby
