It's always good and inspiring to see there is still hope for those of Matar's children and that it is possible for them to redeem themselves in the eyes of God.

Congratulations on your success.

While freeing of anyone in any kind of servitude is a good thing I do have a few questions and worries for the safety of said "slaves":

1) Did you use vitoc to subjugate your "slaves"
2) Are you providing any on going support, financial or otherwise, to assist your benevolent release of the "slaves"?
3) Do you have more "slaves", and what are their condition?

As Captain Mai noted, I find the use of Vitoxin distasteful -- nobody will find God through the use of poisons. For those former slaves that wish to remain in the Kingdom, work placement is available through my staff, and there are numerous planetside businesses that are hiring at the moment.

As to the conditionm of my remaining slaves -- again, I do not approve of abusive behavior. Punishment is carried out when justified, and not simply for the sake of violence.

I notice that you put "slaves" in quotations. Might I ask your reasoning?

While I'm sure your "god" directs you to be a kind and thoughtful overseer of your subjugated workforce, the fact you can't see the difference between an employee and a "slave" speaks volumes. I use quotation marks to identify that while you think you're treating "human beings" with reverence and kindness they are still slaves to you, and were probably ripped from their lives in Matar at some point.

You seem to be an enlightened Amarrian, freeing "slaves" is a bold step in the right direction as is your aversion to the use of vitoc, but I have to question your logic, why the need for "slaves"; why not simply hire staff from the myriad of jobless citizens across New Eden?

I assume you need to "save" souls by some divine calling and paying a workforce would contradict that edict, not to mention a paid workforce would probably tell you where to stick your divine intervention.

I don't want to detract from the good deed you are doing here (I'm sure your "god" will be happy), but I suggest you consider using a paid workforce then you won't be feeding the slavery industry that your government clearly prospers from.

If you have further acts of kindness to perform such as releasing the rest of your, shall we say, grateful employees, I would be happy to liaise with you along with Ushra'Khan council to repatriate or assist any freed to find their family or simply to return to Matari space.

To address these two points, in particular....

I have a paid staff -- it is Meiyi Family Holdings, after all. And yes, God directed my people to Reclaim New Eden in His name. Beyond that, however, using a paid workforce has certain disadvantages -- namely, that they must be paid,whereas slaves are working for the greater glory of the Faith.

As slaves are, in effect, indentured to God's service, it makes sense that they should work to prove themselves worthy of being Reclaimed. I see no better way to do so than putting them to work in the Club and on my Ranch.

I appreciate your offer, and I will take it under advisement. At this time, however, I have no intention of emancipating my slaves without due cause.

Ahh, nice to see your double standards for the rest of your "heathen" work force, I guess they are not worthy of your gods good grace?

Lets hope your remaining subjugated are "reclaimed" quickly.

I do not understand the questioning. She freed them because in doing so the net utility of the Kingdom's society goes up. Freed-men are less likely to incite violence, and trained workers are invaluable to any nation. While it is true that an employer would have to pay the individuals (so that they may live in a building, eat food, etc), such expenditures were already being made by Meiyi (she housed, fed them). The only thing that changed was the involvement of a fiat currency.

Sounds like a win-win to me, in any case.

If a holder needs to use Vitoc on a slave, then it seems to me that the slave is probably not the sort of person who is ready for freedom.

So... when you infect a slave with vitoxin they are not ready for freedom.
ok... what if they subsequently become ready?

vitoc will still be a daily reminder of the barbarism of the society they have chosen to join.
Last time i checked the only people with Insorum were the Elders

There are 3 types of slavery. Mental, physical and financial. Being mentally enslaved is caused by how you are taught an idea, belief or decisions that you were born and grew up believing to be acceptable without outside objectivity.

Physical slavery is performing tasks for another and can also fall under mental slavery if the person isn't aware that what they are made to do is not by their own free will.

Failing to see just how wrong headed it is to see that a person or people subjected into physical or mental slavery. So if you are blind to that then you are beyond help.
