[Around the colony there are signs for something called the C.I.S.M. (the Cease Intergalactic Slavery Movement). There's little more than the occasional pamphlet peddling samaritan or some billboards that announce the problem to newcomers or remind acquiescing residents of their guilt. Kaz has the good fortune to happen across their headquarters, a series of (what he feels is entirely too prone) white tents with well-meaning volunteers.]

[It's really a tragic effort. And after the ship's first adventures in the Runoff slavery outpost it seems it's pretty important that the crew do something about it. At least that's his logic for aiding them. After all, in the event they're taken it's not like the crew has much proof of identity. No one can come after them if they're captured and sold if they're not rescued before the ship leaves. They'd be lost.]

[Miller's plan is to beef up their resources, give them better tools to go on the offensive. But he wants to be a little bit discrete about the plan. Just enough for some sliver of plausible deniability. Asking if people want to be involved in the organization's cause? He'll just see who gets lured in. Maybe he can find some smugglers and military trainers.]

There's a small group here. Some grassroots efforts against slavery. I figured they could use a little help around here. Come by if you have the time and are interested. Contact me privately if you're not sure where it is and I'll tell you how to get here from your location, especially if you've noticed some trafficking activity where you're at.

There's not much they can do right now. The rules here are a little ambiguous, but they seem pretty certain that this is a persisting problem they would like to stop.

[He'll just wait to see who bites.]




OOC: This and this are the plotting threads concerning the C.I.S.M. He'll want to know safe businesses and homes for slaves to hide at, get aid in transporting people, and find people that can train them some guerrilla troops for some good espionage efforts. You're safe to assume word of mouth can reach your characters if you want them pulled in by someone else. Back-dated to soon after their arrival.

If you need assistance accomplishing things I'm at your service. I have little love for this slavery nonsense.

I want to help. [She's not often this terse and maybe there's no need to sound so urgent, but it's a tough topic, and in this moment it feels urgent.]

I can come and meet you, just let me know how to get to you from the ship.

[There is something to be said here, he thinks, about meddling in the affairs of a place they don't understand--that in imposing their own morality on a people who may not want it, they might just make things worse. It's not their business, and it's presumptuous to think that they know what's best for this colony, especially when they won't be here long enough to clean up the mess or deal with the consequences.

The less rational part of him just kind of wants to fuck some shit up.

Let me know if you're interested in some real firepower.

It's all yours.

I haven't noticed anything overt, but there are covert signs. Coming from a slave nation myself you begin to understand the...language, the way certain people act.

[ The signs have been clear as day for anyone who's actually looking. Snake hasn't been able to travel the entire colony, but even in the small portion of it that he's seen, he's noticed the way that some aliens are made to wait on others.

So between this colony, the slave outpost, and that planet way back where Snake had been corralled into that fighting ring, it's become more and more obvious that the galaxy doesn't have much consideration for people's free will. He's sick of it. ]


Anything you need, just say the word.

[ Sam has been incommunicado and making certain that no one can find him. But from what he's seen for himself, and more importantly what Kaz is talking about; this whole 'slavery' business leaves a bad taste in the mouth. Morality aside, there's just something inherently wrong with trying to take away another's free will. ]

Whatever I can do to help, I will.

Should be easy to get to. I'll find you, OK?

[With directions and knowing what she's looking for, it's easy enough to find. Tali herself is a lot more comfortable here wearing her mask and a headscarf, and as she looks around the tent city, looking at Kazuhira Miller's picture in the roster, she's a little worried about finding him considering he's wearing a hat and dark glasses...but luckily, he's wearing them now as she approaches him.]

Kazuhira Miller? [She stumbles a bit on that first name, but it's a fair attempt.] I'm Tali'Zorah.

I'll shake them down.

Getting involved in other people's wars again?

...Slavery?

[ Over the top of Jesse's voice, there's music thumping. And loud chatter. Sounds like a raving party, actually. ]

Uh. A... A boat.

[ Which isn't really a proper answer, because Jesse is far more mystified and concerned and horrified at what the guy just said. Can you hear it in his tight voice? (Maybe that's also because he's kind of high as fuck at the moment, too, but. Details. ]

...Slavery? For real?

[ Oh, my god. His tweaked out brain can't process that. Can't process that at all. Slavery?! Sex slavery? And other messed up shit?! ]

Are there like...? Are there like...? [ He's almost too afraid to ask; it's why he's having trouble getting the question out. ] Like... kids?
