Choosing unprocessed slaves

Here I am with Mr. Sahilatua, my main slave dealer, in his repository of unprocessed slaves. That particular bunch of freshly captured specimens had just arrived. They had already been narcotized and hung to the rail that would take them to the processing premises. I usually buy fully processed and trained slaves. In this case, however, I needed a replacement for my power generator at home, which employs five pedaling slaves at the time. Since the generator manufacturer recommends that the pedaling slaves have no arms, so that all the musculature development occurs in the legs, my choice had to be done before processing, for amputation to be operated during the process. It also was an opportunity to choose a slave which already brought strong legs.

This is a good illustration of the capacity of a slave owner to decide on each and every piece of his slaves' bodies, as parts of his property, referred to in my short essay "On owning slaves".
