Why don't you just kill them, is what people always ask when I say I got captured again (lets not get into the captured again theme ok...) But for me its all about information gathering. Sure you have to deal with discomfort of people ordering you around, and threatening you. You learn so much! Like you learn that pirates had apparently come to loot Ronerawth and established a sort of base there. And you also learn that these pirates apparently are looking for something of yours. Well you don't learn that, I don't know who you are, but I learned that. I also learned that what I look like in an environment is just like everyone else, so these pirates had no idea I was the guy they were stealing from.
The three that jumped had moved me to their make shift work camp. I was actually surprised at how large it was considering my ships scans had failed to pick it up. And they had also managed to decontaminate it enough that you didn't have to wear suits which I thought was impossible. Their camp unfortunately looked like a hellish work camp and safety was not a main concern.There was plenty of half starved workers next to dangerous tools right next to support structures. It looked like it was literally one spark from becoming a huge bomb (which was reassuring considering my affinity for blowing things up). My new captors had passed me into processing where an old man who smelled of something I couldn't put my finger on looked me over.
"You look old for an explorer."
"Thanks I like to imagine I'm young at heart."
"Won't get much work out of you, if you screw with us, we'll leave you dead in the dirt." He was so polite I wanted to ask him about their employee retention programs, but I was rudely shoved into a shower to be "scrubbed" and then pressed in with the rest of the prisoners. It was all very quick and efficient and seemed again very strange since I couldn't imagine there were a lot of people they could kidnap on planet, but seeing how many were there, these guys made do. I shuffled from the old guy to where prisoners were waiting for work (efficiency!) It was here that I learned all about the digging and that they were vaguely looking for something from my shop (no one really knew what, or if they did they didn't tell me, the dicks). I was going to ask what they were looking for when a couple of the pirates in big suits drug me away. Apparently I wasn't as unrecognizable as I thought.
