Sometimes being blunt is the best policy, particularly when dealing with fast talking types.

"The Empire doesn't care about the people who serve it. The serfs and commoners may be the most obvious example, but even the nobility will trample on one another to further their own interests," Rezo says. "There is no true security under the Empire. As an example, the citizens of Vindess were content to work away in the mines until they heard the Imperials planned on slaughtering them and replacing them with Servants."

He's taking some slight liberties with the 'content' part but nevertheless Rezo thinks his final point is true: "The Empire betrayed Vindess first. Even if they hadn't rebelled the Imperials would have destroyed them."
