<![CDATA["I told him that you would be tough to break, but if we gave you hope and took it away, it would be easier to crack you. That's why you were left in your cell, and why we left your equipment. Nothing hurts someone more than having hope, and then losing it]]>

<![CDATA[Pogue is still nervous, but his voice takes on a hard, cruel edge. You can see how he'd make a good torturer. He says, "Jaen has one last mission for you. He will be attacking and distracting the fortress, so that you can go and kill Stalker.]]>
