The Aristocrat, in its final moment, shudders. You think this may be its last second of life, your own anger subsiding as you look down and see the Aristocrat's face light up. Its eyes go wide and tongue rolls out. All resistance stops as it shivers, and hearing the coo'ing soft noise in the back of the throat, you realize the Aristocrat is not in a death throes you would recognize. In its last second, some kind of alien pleasure overwhelmed the creature, as if knowing it would die, allowing it to end its life on its own terms, even its own biology refusing to allow this spoiled creature to experience the pain of death, the soft lolling tongue of an orgasmic ecstasy etched on its death mask. It was quiet. After a few more seconds, you loosen your grip and drop it to the floor. You wipe your hands off on your jacket at having touched it.
Then, your criminal instincts kicked in. You knew right away that your outburst would have serious consequences, and that means the number one best thing to do would be to get as far away from here as possible, as soon as possible. Your shuttle still had enough fusion fuel to get a ways away. If you left right now, you could make it to the Consortium, though you'd have to travel through Oon space. Maybe you'd be better headed to the Urgi's freespace; though the pirates are only a little more reasonable then the Oon would be...
You lean down and start picking gold piercings and bangles from your victim, the high born creature still warm, before your hands drift down and catch the remote. You look up, seeing the Jaxtian halfway towards reaching for it, before he stops. He seemed to have recovered, and gives you a look of desperation at you clutching that wretched device in your hands.
...You realize, of course, that this could be your opportunity. This device seems to be hooked up to that Jaxtian's body in some way, able to control him. This man is a slave, and a Jaxtian is not a very common kind of slave. If this Aristocrat was so jealous of another for just having a Jaxtian of a different <span class="mu-i">color</span>, you figure this one could be worth quite a lot to another.
What should you do?
>Give the man the remote and free him
>Take him as your servant and escape
>Sell him to the highest bidder and secure your future
