I'm hoping they would forego too much proper research, but that's not realistic.

[ Arjuna supposes that it might be too foolish to actually expect their captors to suddenly have a crucial blind spot in their intelligence...alas. ]

I'm thinking that's not exactly the case. Most won't be content to sit around if they're given a good amount of room to roam in a supposed captive situation.

[ ...Maybe? Maybe Arjuna might have too much faith in this lot, though. But, it isn't like he has unnecessarily high expectations on cooperation with every single person just yet. He will need to meet more people to get a better idea of what that might look like. ]
