Another human was thrown into Jude's cell.  He was naked, but seemed more concerned about some other item he'd lost.  Which spoke volumes for his sensibility.  Jude shut the book, marking his place with a thumb.  "Yes.  For all of thirty hours, plus a little time spent unconscious."  He smiled wanly.  "I take it you're with them as well?  Listen, I know next to nothing about alien cultures.  A few like to get involved on earth, but this one hasn't, as far as I know.  And my mind is being bombarded with aggressive impulses anyways, so I want an unbiased opinion.  The way they've acted-- is it reasonable?  Would trying to break out of here be a justified response?"<br/><br/>As he spoke, he stood up and concentrated on the bars.  He'd been watching closely, with all of his senses, when they opened them to admit the newcomer.  With that information plus whatever he could find out by studying them, he tried to learn the nature of the glowing pit door.<br/><br/>[OOC: I'm thinking...  a Mind+Occult:Barriers roll?  No idea what the difficulty would be, or whether he'd get any bonuses (for his extended analysis, perhaps) or penalties (since he has to do it from about 4 feet away).  Speak, oh wise GM, and reveal the important numbers!  Also, if he doesn't die from looking at the door, he's going to examine the walls and floor of the pit, so it'd streamline things if you gave both sets of numbers at once.  Your call.]
