>>6175 >the buyer Interesting follow up on this: I saw that they had a very effective technology which they used to control the slaves they bought. It seems the reason they were interested in the first place is that by federation policies it's not allowed to use control measures (forced labour) unless the slaves are very heavy with karma(and gravity), so dirty people are better for running mining operations if you don't want to do the work yourself.
It was based off a very simple and robust set up with a control ray which mentally "whips" them to move forward in a line like ants, and they are unable to "reverse" their path of movement. Basically they are used as oxen to carry ore. Any anger they have inside will be funneled into a useful workforce instead, so the more insane and entitled they are the better.
Seeing this I contacted them and asked if it would be possible to learn their technology? They said they would give an entry level course for 3500 silver. I manifested a projected body form and went over there.
Their technology uses a very simple and effective method of relating hand eye coordination to create mental concepts. It had a joystick like pic related.
Numbers would be shown on the screen, where the first number is the Z axis of the vehicle movement, and the following two are X and Y. The lever is then pressed in the direction of the number, and for the middle it is pressed down like a button. Staying in place would be a 1, then turning would be done by entering two following numbers, while 2 first means slow movement one length unit forward and so on.
This was done with left hand. Right hand was for controlling the mining drill attached to an arm. The way of using number series was the same, where the first number was the Z position of the drill, starting at 1 for the closest position to the vehicle. (I did not see a reverse driving function, it seems it had to be turned 180 degrees to go back again.)
When the training was done with left hand, then right hand, then both at once, the number screen was no longer used, but the vehicle was operated by visuals of the surroundings only.
