"Can you tell me about the slave trade?"
"Intimately."
"Where and how do they get them?"
"Raids and Raids. No place is safe."
"Who are most of the buyers?"
"Rich clans and individuals -- to do work that no free man wants to cheaply," Rekhyt explains, answering your next question, smoothly. "Usually, the planting and harvesting of crops. Some are less...fortunate."
"And how long have they've been -- "
"Slavery? Forever -- but the institutions that have formed have been within the last fifty years or so." Rekhyt shrugs, "It was a lot more small-scaled. More honorable. A warrior kept what they captured and no more."
You turn your appraising eye to the stage once more --
[9] Nine armed Outlanders are guarding the stage, and, by extension, the slaves. While not armed with a gun, the man on the stage has a cruel-looking whip and a thin, curved sword at his hip.
[12] They have las-guns, and are armored in what looks like bioplastic armor. Each has a helmet, and uniformity about them. They stand stoic and stiffly -- experienced. Each of them wears a blank mask -- no doubt matching the expression behind it. Knives are at their belts, as one would expect.
[-]The lamps are burning a hydrocarbon, of some sort, judging by the soot -- separating the two to control the hydrogen...you don't know what it would do.
