[The Empire ruled now, making it possible for the augments, and the others belonging to Imperial Starfleet to buy or own slaves. Khan really wasn't interested in that sort of thing. He disliked the concept of the Empire in general - it's propensity to genocide and public execution and propaganda for it. If The Empire was as good as they claimed, there would be no need for the advertisements. Of course the augment knew better than to say such things.

It's when they give the order that ceremonial agents had to be accompanied by slaves, that Khan reluctantly went to the markets to buy one, and selected one that had obviously had no prior master. He did not intend to be unkind, but he would punish if the slave was disobedient, and what few perhaps well-meaning buyers didn't know was that buying an abused slave with good intention would usually result in a disobedient slave. He does have his own rather sparsely decorated apartments, though it's clearly in the "officers" end of town. He doesn't follow the usual Empire protocol for instructions, other than ordering his slave to sit on the floor, and then providing his own rules of the house.]

What you hear is not to be repeated, and you are to obey any order I give you, even if it may seem against the law or against your loyalty to the Empire.
Your duties will include cleaning of the apartment, any additional decor, if you wish to bring to me for approval, the meals, and the after-dishes. In the interim, if you prove yourself trustworthy, you will be given minor security clearance for educational materials.

If you disobey, you'll wish you hadn't. Questions?
