The 'Emperor' as interrogated by Gortash, Part 3
Gortash: When we captured you, you were a rogue, an autonomous illithid beyond the power of the elder brain that transformed you.
Emperor: That is correct.
Gortash: When we brought you back into the psionic ambit of our hovering friend the Absolute, your defences were overwhelmed and you returned to your former servile state.
Emperor: Also correct.
Gortash: How did you escape the control of the elder brain in the first place?
Emperor: In my original humanoid form, I possessed an exceptionally strong personality - so much so that even after ceremorphosis I was still substantially 'myself'. Of course, I concealed this beneath a semblance of perfect servitude.
Gortash: And that's why the elder brain was willing to send you out of the colony on scouting missions?
Emperor: Yes, as I told you before.
Gortash: How long did you feign mental slavery before you were able to escape?
Emperor: Thirteen and three-quarters years.
Gortash: Until finally you were given a mission to Baldur's Gate, distant enough to be out of the elder brain's control?
Emperor: That is correct.
Gortash: Remarkable.
Emperor: That is correct.
Gortash: And you don't mind that we've brought you back under psionic control?
Emperor: I am entirely devoted to the needs of our elder brain and of its masters.
Gortash: You're not lying about that, right?
Emperor: Correct. That would be impossible.
