A capsuleer slave?

How laughable. And amusing.

Gonna have to agree with the Sani Sabik here...the two terms are almost an oxymoron.

What has kitty done wrong?

If mistress wills it.

Curious question, not that I'm interested in buying of course.

Considering she's publicly been flashing her **** all over your bar for months and made no effort to hide the fact she's been getting railed by anyone who'll pay her enough Kredits for the "pleasure", will the prospective buyer get a discount?

After all, under SCC guidelines, that puts her in the category of used or damaged goods.

hmm, you make a good point, I've already had her cloned into a fresh body as a matter of course, however yes, she'd of course not be going for as much as a "true" virgin might.

I currently have my hands quite full with a particular Vherokior capsuleer slave.

I might be interested in taking on another. Please send me proof of ownership, her medical and education records and a price quote. Perhaps if my House does not adopt her, I can find her a good home here in Khanid.

Thank you.

As there is no real way to keep a capsuleer a slave against their will, could I kindly ask that you keep your extreme lifestyle choices off the IGS, and not insult those in actual, real slavery with them?

Thou too, Sinjin? You let your slave talk in public? O tempora, o mores!

Hm. Are you quite sure about that, Ms. Rhiannon? It seems more like "very difficult" than "actually impossible," given some control over cloning conditions.

Then again, you've probably made more of a study of it than I have. Sansha's method is probably the only really foolproof one.

Then again, again, I'm pretty sure some theorist at CONCORD is responsible for coming up with a few dozen ways to tighten our collective leash if need be.

Meh. Not my business, really.

The sales pitch claims the individual is a combat pilot.
And as such, would be able to fire on their "mistress" and simply fly away and set themselves up somewhere far away, if they so felt.

I'd almost call this cute... If it wasn't a bit disturbing. How you get such loyalty out of an unpaid capsuleer is a bit beyond me.

I'd offer her a good home with my allies, but at the moment I'm a bit strapped for liquid capital.

I might come to regret it, but I have to ask what the story is behind the nickname "Kitty", in particular who's idea it was?

---

There really isn't much of one, I wanted something to call her, she was my pet, so I named her kitty.

I am curious what price one expects for such a commodity.

Perhaps she is a willing slave...?

---

That is exactly what I find offensive. If she chooses to be in slavery where every day she might simply choose otherwise, that is not slavery, that is... well. A lifestyle choice. A matter of religion. Whatever her motivations are.

No such control over cloning conditions for a capsuleer exist. The instant she is in the pod, she could easily have her emergency clone location moved and self-destruct. (I am sure a lot of organizations in free space would be willing to welcome her to her new body and new life, if she chose this path, and as a pilot, getting hold of her old property and even starting completely fresh should not be a very bad economical problem.)

In my experience, extortion for co-operation is a somewhat functional way: putting pressure on non-capsuleer relatives in slavery seems to be a particularly effective way on the short term. (If the victim in this thread is under such extortion, I apologize for my hard words, and please be in contact via private FTL, we can sort something out to help you.)

And alright, I give you the Sansha way. But you can usually spot a mindless drone from how they speak etc.

I am afraid I see the difference between "someone willingly subjugating to the leadership of another" and an actual slave against their will a bit more than semantics.
