If you encounter the Dominance at sea, there are two options:
you join the crew or you feed the Captain.
Unfortunately, it is not your choice to make.

That earns a laugh. Not only telepathically, where all the words have been coming from… but also from the illithid’s beak; a grating, hoarse, sickening, and unnatural sound.
“Quick witted, you are. Tell me your name.”
“Quick witted, you are. Tell me your name.”
You have a self-destructive tendency to get yourself into trouble.
And let’s say you hit the nail on the proverbial head with your first guess.

You don't care if you're caught.
You don't think anyone is after you.
The people who are after you are long dead or you've been forgotten.

Let us have a thought experiment then.
There are only three reasons why a criminal would not hide their face. Can you tell me what they are?

I am curious why you do not have an illusion over you.
Forgive me for the assumption you do not come with peace in mind.

Not even remotely. Perhaps you're seeing threats where none lurk.
Sounds like your attempt at a threat.

Perhaps we'll find out soon.
It sounds like a creature from the Underdark.

“How are they made?” It tries to ignore the torrent of questionable images running through the pilot’s mind. So many… lewd stories.
Much to the Illithid's dismay, the Pilot's mind is mostly occupied by both worries about monetary spenditure and some odd theories about smutty mech pilot fictions.
"Sure! What do you want to know?"
"Sure! What do you want to know?"
“Elaborate.” The illithid wordlessly pushes against the stranger’s mental resistances. It would learn the secrets of the shot guns.

Great retort! Unfortunately for you, I have two shotguns.
For you, ‘my logical’ must be the greatest oxymoron possible.

No, I won't be taking questions about my logical deduction process.
