 		The penthouse opens, and $activeSlave.slaveName stumbles inside, sobbing $his thanks. $He's immediately conducted to the autosurgery for some quick cosmetic surgery, while you and $assistantName do the necessary work to falsify the arcology records and conceal $his origins. Before $he's even out from under anesthesia, $he's bundled off into one of the hundreds of slave shipments that move between arcologies every day. This time $he'll be sold far enough away that no matter how much of an escape artist $he is, you won't be seeing any more of $him. $He can whine elsewhere.

 This call is coming from a public kiosk, which is usually an indication that the person on the other end is a transient individual who has decided to take slavery over homelessness. In this case, however, the story is more unusual — the callers seem stressed, but otherwise normal. They haltingly and quietly explain, with many nervous glances off-camera to ensure they are not overheard, that they are both siblings and lovers, and their attempts to keep the truth of the nature of their relationship from their friends, family, and society at large have failed. They had heard of $arcologies[0].name's reverence for incestuous relationships, and have managed to talk themselves into the questionable conclusion that their only chance to be together was for them to sell themselves to someone who would not just accept but encourage their incest — namely, you.
