An Bitseach Gealach

Yes actually. Pay attention to corridor mapping when you’re brought in or when you are moved between cells. Knowing the layout makes it easier to escape.

Practice passive resistance not active resistance. If it’s obvious that you haven’t surrendered yourself to your new life then there’s a greater chance they try to break you quickly.

Make yourself look dumb and agreeable to your captors. A “willing” prisoner is more likely to be granted certain freedoms not granted to the others, or to have special exceptions made for propaganda purposes. This can be used to gain access to areas or items you normally couldn’t.

Eat in irregular times and quantities, like you’re rationing, to avoid the full effects of the drugs the empire puts in the food. If the drugs take effect properly it will be easier to get information from you that will put others at risk.

Steal and hide contraband when possible. If you’re able to get your hands on items and untainted food to ration yourself on, great! You’ve bought yourself more time to work on escaping and potentially the tools to do so.

Sabotage where possible. Put sand or small particulate matter in fuel tanks when no one’s watching, keep other prisoners morale high and remind them that this isn’t what they want. Damage or otherwise disable communications relays that are within reach when able.

You’re a good dog, you know that right? A very, very good dog. And so cute too~
