  Alyssa nods and brings the Elojin in roughly.
  
  "Ow! Watch it you, blue Empire whore!" he says which is followed by a kick to his back by Alyssa before she leaves. The Elojin brushes himself off and stands up.
  "I swear you humans will allow any primitive race into your club nowadays. What planet did you pick that one up from?
  "You had something important to tell me?" you ask, but the Elojin completely ignores you.
  "Mind you, she is a pretty primitive; her pointy ears almost make me want to laugh though."
  "I suggest you stop talking about my Sergeant and start talking about what you know."
  He still doesn't listen.
  "You know I've always been impressed by you humans. I've read a lot about your species. We have more in common than you might think. Why if it wasn't for your lack of spots and disgusting hairy body, we could be brothers!"
  
  Your patience has run out, you grab him by his scrawny throat.
  
  "Look you hairless spotty freak, you better start talking before I let my Sergeant blast a big hole in you and that's AFTER I turn you over to my Indoctrinator who'll be only to happy to get his hands on the likes of you."
  
  Well that got his attention, and apparently he does know something of humans because, Indoctrinator widened his eyes a bit. He keeps his cool though.
  
  "See now you humans know how to instill fear. Not like those idiot Mazatts that were trying to get information from me. I don't know how those brainless brutes even mastered the wheel, let alone achieve space travel. Anyway, there's an old Xont building on this planet."
  Now your eyes widen.
  "WHAT?! Impossible! The Xont are a myth! The only knowledge that ANYONE has of them is from stories, there's never been any hard evidence of this race found by any of the major or minor powers and that's from centuries of searching."
  "Well perhaps we weren't looking hard enough. The galaxy is a big place you know." the Elojin sniffs.
  "Don't bother asking me where it's at though, I won't tell you where it's at, no matter what you do. However I'd be willing to SHOW you, if you'd consider this a joint venture between our two governments. Just think this could bring about a new age of cooperation between our two species!"
  
  Translation: "I'm going to use you for my own gain, until I can find a way to fuck you over."
  
  > let Salo take care of him
  You don't have time for mind games, if this Elojin actually has something important then he can tell it to Salo. He's been itching to torture something anyway, might as well be an Elojin. This'll kill two birds with one stone.
  
  "Sergeant Alyssa!" you yell, and she enters immediately.
  "Yes sir?"
  "Take this Elojin to Indoctrinator Salo." You say, the Elojin looks genuinely surprised.
  "WHAT!? Hold on now, there's no need for that!"
  "Oh? Well are you going to tell me where the Xont structure is at then?"
  "I...can't do that! You'll just kill me after I told you! Are you really ready to risk losing a chance at gaining the most important find of the millennium? You have to keep me alive! It's the only way you'll find it!"
  "You think so? So you really think you'll be able to withstand the interrogation? And trust me, Salo really likes his work."
  The Elojin doesn't look scared anymore; in fact he's downright defiant. "Fine, turn me over to your narrow minded torturer! He'll get nothing from me! We Elojin are a lot tougher than you humans give us credit for. We were exploring space while your race was still throwing bones in the air and fighting over pieces of yellow fruit and we'll be here long after your so called "Empire" falls to the ravages of time, and history forgets you!"
  "Maybe,.. but not today. Take him away, and tell Salo to keep the screams to a minimum."
  
  As Alyssa takes the Elojin away, he looks at her and speaks again.
  
  "Huh. It must be nice to be a slave to such an enlightened society."
  "Move it, Elojin." Alyssa replies.
  
  Time passes and there hasn't been a peep from Salo's tent. You know you said for him to keep it quiet, but you didn't think he'd actually do it.
  
  You wonder if you should check on him, the rest of your team is pretty much going through their usual routines, so there's not much to do right now. You could always relax.
  
  > go check on Salo
  Well you might as well see what that sadist got out of his victim. You head over and enter Salo's tent.
  
  "I TOLD YOU NOT TO DISTURB ME!" Salo screams.
  "What?!"
  "Oh...its you. Forgive my outburst Captain. I've been a little on edge."
  "I...see..." you say as you notice that Salo has dismembered the Elojin. Body parts and blood are covering the floor of the tent. Salo sees your reaction to the sight and tries to explain.
  "Sorry for this mess, I got a little carried away, the Elojin proved to be particularly defiant. I was surprised, most Elojins squeal even without the threat of torture. This one wouldn't say anything, at least nothing that he hadn't already told you. I guess I got a little angry..."
  "I'd say you got a little more than angry."
  Salo begins to suddenly weep.
  "I'm sorry Captain! I couldn't get any more information out of him! I failed you and as an Indoctrinator of the Empire!"
  
  Okay this is really weird, you've never seen any side of Salo that indicates any like for you, let alone any feelings that would result in tears.
  
  "Uh, its okay Salo, I'm sure you did your best. Don't worry about it, the Elojin was probably talking bullshit anyway about the Xont, we all know that's just a myth. Maybe you should take it easy for awhile, and make sure you clean up this tent, who knows what the hell this mess this will attract."
  "I will." Salo says looking off into space.
  
  You slowly exit Salo's tent, and call LaFleur and Alyssa to your tent to talk about this.
  
  "What's going on sir?"
  "Salo's gone off his fucking rocker that's what. He's always been walking that line, but I think he's finally gone over this time. He completely dismembered that Elojin and he's just acting creepy in general and not the usual type of creepy either. He's definitely not entirely sane anymore."
  "So he's a threat then? We kill him?" Alyssa asks.
  "Whoa, hold on there! As much as I can't stand him, we ARE still following Empire law here; we can't just shoot him, at least not without reason." You say.
  "Well in situations like this, the procedure is to immediately have him checked out by a doctor..." LaFleur comments.
  "Uh duh, Doc got killed trying to communicate with some Lizards remember? Besides I don't need a professional to tell me that he's crazy, I saw it with my own eyes."
  "Well then the next step would be to have him shipped off to an Empire mental facility...but since we aren't anywhere near one of those and won't be for a long time, we're suppose to keep him isolated, and under guard like a prisoner, until such time that he can be transferred to the proper facility." LaFleur says.
  "Wonderful. We can't move effectively around with a madman in tow. (Sigh) Well I guess we could just spend the rest of our time in this village. Make sure everyone's extra nice to the Lizards, we don't need them rising up against us now. We can do exploratory missions of the surrounding area. Salo will be restricted to his tent and kept under guard at all times. Alyssa, inform the rest of the team. LaFleur we're going into Salo's tent."
  "Um, erm, what for?"
  "To take away his weapons! We can't have him armed."
  "Sir maybe you should let Sergeant Alyssa..."
  "I said me and YOU, Lieutenant! Besides, he might attack Alyssa, he didn't like non-humans before, he's probably only gotten more intolerant since then. Its apparent the only thing he's ever really respected is rank, even if it hasn't been us personally. Now come on!"
  
  You and LaFleur approach Salo's tent cautiously.
  
  > enter first
  You shake off the violent thoughts you're having and enter the tent first. You see Salo, rubbing blood on himself and looking at some sort of coins. He looks up when you approach.
  "I TOLD YOU...oh it's you Captain..."
  "Hello Salo." You say and then slowly take his gun that's lying on the floor. You pass it to LaFleur who's petrified.
  
  "What's that you got there?" you ask, still being careful of the fact that Salo still has his knife.
  "Oh this? I found these on the Elojin, after I interrogated him. Strange things they are...I've never seen anything like them...almost hypnotic..."
  
  You're going to take a wild guess but you've got a hunch that those things are causing the weirdness. You don't see how you're going to resolve this without physical confrontation. You get into a better position to lunge at him.
  
  "So Salo..." you say, and then you strike!
  
  You and Salo wrestle for awhile, LaFleur runs off, but he at least goes and gets Alyssa to help you. Eventually you both knock out Salo, and you take all the coins and melt them with a plasma pistol. Crisis averted. You wonder what the coins were though. Were they some sort of Elojin mind weapon, or maybe the Elojin was speaking the truth about finding a Xont structure? If they were Xont in origin then you're just as glad not to have looked for the place. This planet is hazardous as it is and you don't need to add that kind of danger.
  
  Later Salo feels more like him self, and is completely apologetic and thanks you for saving his life. Actually he's nothing like his old self; you almost think he's still under some sort of control, but he's not. In fact he pretty much leaves everyone alone for the rest of your time on Paradise, he spends a lot of his time in some sort of penance.
  
  When the Empire ships arrive you give a relatively mundane report, and leave out the trouble with Salo, in exchange for your silence, he transfers out of your squad and back to the Order.
  
  You and your team get sent on your next mission infinitely a lot happier without an Indoctrinator watching over you constantly.
