that all descendants of the Great Race have a right to freedom of person and that no person may own any other person."
    Dar finally got his attention. "Well!" The man considered Dar's request for a moment. "When you put it that way..."
    He stroked his chin in an exaggerated fashion.
    "No," he said, finally. "I don't have to abide by that treaty because my race is not a part of the Union. I am not a person."
    "Not a person..." Jared muttered to himself.
    "You're an alien," Mana said. "Then why do you look like one of us. How can you speak Unified?"
    "Let's just say I'm a flexible sort," he said. "And I pick things up quickly."
    I frowned. What was he saying?
    He was playing with his words.
    He was playing with us.
    "If you are not part of the Union, then where do you come from?" Dar said. "What race are you?"
    "I'd rather not say. And I don't take questions from slaves. You should feel honored right now that I am speaking to you at all."
    "We're not your slaves," Jared said. He looked furious — like he was barely holding himself together. Please don't lose your shit, Jared. I thought carefully, trying to transmit my desires straight into Jared's brain. Who knew what else this nutcase alien could do?
    "That's a matter of opinion," he said condescendingly. "When you are mind-wiped and distributed over the mining planets we own, you'll be slaves. Don't worry about that."
    Mind-wiped? Oh, fuck.
    All of us looked at each other and froze. Suddenly he seemed a lot more menacing. Being slaves was one thing. But being mind-wiped was something else entirely. The stakes had gone up considerably.
    We had to get away.
    Being mind-wiped cleared most, if not all, of a person's memory. I would still remember basic things — how to dress or cook supper. But the memories that made me who I am would be completely gone.
    We might as well be dead because it would erase the parts of ourselves.
    "Mining planets?" Dar said, keeping his eyes fixed on the alien.
    "Our race requires certain rare minerals that we can only find on particular planets we control. Living creatures must extract the minerals. It is impossible to automate the delicate procedure required. The mining is destructive to the life forms, shortening their lifespan considerably."
    "By how much?" I said, unable to remain silent any longer. He looked at me with a cold stare.
    "75 percent."
    None of us said anything.
    "You better call some friends," Jared said, rolling up his sleeves. "We're not going without a fight."
    "I'm the only one here, and I do not require backup," he said, looking amused again.
    "The only one?" Mana said, looking as confused as I felt.
    "This is a self-healing ship, manned by droids. I am tired of this conversation. You will make good slaves, I'm sure. You all look strong and healthy."
    As he made this speech, there had been a conversation going on between Jared and Dar with their eyes and hands. They were making furious hand signals at each other.
    I hoped they knew what they were doing.
    I looked at Mana, but she was a statue, with an unreadable expression on her face.
    Suddenly, Dar rushed the alien and Jared moved to attack him at the same time. I didn't see anything happen. The man barely touched them, and both Jared and Dar went flying.
    Dar sailed across the room, hit the wall hard, and slumped down to the floor.
    "Shit!" I ran to him. He was out cold.
    "Enough nonsense. I will transport you to the slave cells." He made a strange sound from the back of his throat and disappeared.
    "Is he alive?" Mana said, coming over as soon as the alien man was gone.
    Jared got up, shook his head, and tried to focus his eyes.
    "Is Dar okay?" he said, sitting down against the wall.
    I had my fingers pressed to his neck and felt for a pulse. It was strong and steady.
    "I think he's okay. Just unconscious," I said.
    The world flashed white. Jared, Mana, and I reappeared in another cell. Dar was not with us.
    "Where's Dar?" I said, starting to panic. How had I come
