An Action is one of 9 processes used by Interrogators and Inquisitors to gain information from a prisoner. Each action is progressively more severe than the last. The technology used by the Inquisition allows, if required, the most agonizing pain to be inflicted without actual physical damage being done. The "questioning" is carried out in well-equipped Inquisition bases - while in the field, the portable torture devices known as excruciators are implemented. The Actions proceed as follows:
- First Action - Verbal interrogation of a suspect. No physical harm done.
- Second Action - Threatening of further Actions. No physical harm.
- Third Action - Light physical torture, followed by verbal interrogation.
- Fourth Action - Light physical torture and psychological manipulation.
- Fifth Action - Psychic interrogation with possible light torture and verbal interrogation.
- Sixth Action - Sensor and/or physical deprivation.
- Seventh Action - Intensive psychic interrogation.
- Eighth Action - Use of psycho-chemical drugs.
- Ninth Action - Unrelenting torture. Tremendous amounts of pain, both physical and mental. Verbal interrogation followed only if suspect survives long enough.
