People get jailed by cops on the 8th floor of 16. Other than that, it's
a normal place. Police HQ is in the control room.

When you drink an alcohollic drink, you experience the following effect:
You feel a little light-headed. Roleplay accordingly. You will stay
this way for 30 minutes per drink.
If you have had 5 or more drinks in the past hour, you will fall down
anytme you are hit in martial combat, in addition to the normal special
effects.

Clarification on the torture mechanic:
From here on out, questions must have simple, short answers requiring no
judgement calls; they should also be time-specific. So:
Good questions:
Who killed Nathan Parks Carter? (person, time, event, all clear)
Where is the stash with the oscillation overthruster? (location clear, now)
Did you kill Barney the dinosaur? (yes/no, person, time, event, all clear)
What is the public name of the head of Sword? (person clear, now)
Who is another member of sword besides yourself and the leader?
(pick from a well-defined list, now, clear.)
Bad questions:
What is your most recent felony crime? (requires knowledge of
law/judgement, sliding time-window)
What is your worst crime? (judgement call, sliding time, etc.)
Who are your co-conspirators? (in what? multiple answers...)
Who did you last kill? (sliding time-window).
List anything? (multiiple answers)
Any time you torture someone, you should have a GM on site to
sanity-check questions and answers. Please don't try to hack this
system -- we're looking for spirit, rather than letter, of rules here.
This may be a change for some of you from how things have been done;
it represents the way things now are; we're not retroactively changing
anything that has already happened.
