So let’s say you’re looking through your stuff and you own like a mathematically uncomfortable number of like regular ol’ human guys. You’re not sure where they came from, they might have been in your station warehouse for like, five? years and they may have made a community garden.

Being a slave master (in the Amarr sense, not the spankings sense) is illegal where I am.  
My warehouse is a Core Complexion Inc _safehold_ 33A-B91c, Prosperity Green. They have food and water and at some point I bought prefab apartments?? Or they bought them??

Good faith answers only, please. If you are mean to me I will cry.

Edit: It’s like a lot of people guys. I think I’m gonna have an anic pattack.

Thankfully, it’s not illegal where I am to purchase them from you. I’d be willing to make an offer for them and I can promise you they’ll be well treated.

I super duper appreciate the offer to buy me out of this thought experiment but like that’s super illegal and lots of people I like would be real steamed up if I did so I will have to decline!!

Okay so these all sound like a lot of work for a long time. . .

Well, certainly don’t want to break any laws or have your friends get angry with you.

So….

Completely hypothetically, of course, you could offer the qualified persons employment, unqualified persons could receive educational assistance or internships as necessary. If you’re looking to simply offload them, there are a number of humanitarian outreaches that will gladly take them and help them find residence and employment throughout the cluster.

How about communicate with them – ask them what they would like to have happen to them. Where would they like to go? And what to do? I’m sure you can work something out with them. They’re live beings and they should be treated with respect.

While a fair response, I was under the impression this was a hypothetical exercise and the ‘talk to them’ option had already been attempted before the question was posed here. I suppose I shouldn’t have made that assumption in hindsight.

I can’t talk to them, its scary, it would take a long long time, that’s stranger danger and they might be a bit really mad.

Not to be off the subject at hand, but do you want some exotic dancers? I have some from long ago and I don’t need them. I have a partner who does all the exotic dancing I need, so they need to move elsewhere.

They’re free of charge. Male only.

I’m sure if you at first apologize profusely they’ll be able to get past their more negative sentiments against you.

That’s my advice. I feel that any other way you’d have to use deceit, scamming, or some outright illegal activities to get out of this situation. Or maybe someone else who has been in these circumstances before will see your question and offer better advice.

It’s a real dilemma. I once had an Amarrian station try to pay me in chattel, it was an awkward conversation to say the least.

My advice would be to abandon this hangar. Leave the doors unlocked and never return to this station. If they want to stay they can, if they want to leave they will.

Hypothetically.

Well now.. hypothetically I’d have to recommend my Aesir Arcology program, which mainly works to rehome freed slaves but happily takes in any baseliners in need! And as Kaendar mentioned there are plenty of other groups with such schemes.

Join me in continuing to advocate for a ‘person conversion unit’ Like reprocessing only with people. Slaves to freed slaves, Grad students to tourists, exotic dancer to military wives . . . you get the idea.

. . . like, we’re not putting them in a furnace or something though, right? Like, we’re just getting the grad students nice jobs so they can afford tourism and junk, theoretically??

Sure! We’ve been operating for over a decade now, and have worked with the likes of Arataka Research Consortium in the past, I’m sure they’d be happy to give a reference. This [ARC operation](https://forums.eveonline.com/t/arc-aar-of-operation-astraea-raid-of-the-svarog-clade-orbital-shipyards-in-skarkon/376061) report also highlights some of the other Corporations who might take them in.  
During the first Liberation Day crisis we were having to take in hundreds of thousands so should be able to handle whatever you hypothetically needed help with!

It will continue to be scary if you don’t try once at least. You’re a Capsuleer; worst case you will reborn in another clone.

Yes what? Where is this station located and who owns and manages it?

Depending on those, I may be able to help you clear your warehouse out, nice and clean.
