I was watching Seek-Locate-Destroy last night and was thinking about what happened to Cally during her capture. We know she was tortured and we know from Project Avalon a few episodes later that the Federation have torture methods that will get prisoners to tell all they know. This raises two questions:
1. What did Cally tell them during her torture. She obviously had detailed knowledge of Auron freedom fighters as well as Auron society and cloning information - was that where Servalan got the idea from for her cloning escapade on Auron? As to the Liberator, the identities of the crew were already known to the Federation, so no damage there. Though she knew some of the capabilities of the Liberator itself, this was surely little more than could have been gleaned from watching it in action a couple of times. What else could she tell them?
2. What did Federation torture methods consist of? We saw in S-L-D them preparing some sort of liquid, but we learned very little of what actually was done. Any ideas?
