Learning the ropes

"Slave! I am nobody's slave" I yelled and proceeded to run out of the alcove, or tried to that is, as I quickly impacted with something that felt like a brick wall, and gave me a painful shock as well.

The creature laughed. "I love it when the backwaters first encounter a force field, always a good time. Yes you are now a slave Human, there are many individuals who pay top credit for a slave from a backwater pre-FTL heap like yours. you and the rest of you," He said and waved an arm to the other cells in the room, which I only now noticed contained many other creatures, and a couple other humans as well. "will be trained, and sold to the highest bidder, I suggest you just hope you aren't sold to a Varlon, they consider human meat to be a delicacy"

I could feel my brain start to shut down over everything that had slapped me in the face in such quick succession. I had been abducted by aliens? and was going to be sold into slavery? so much for a simple night on the town with the boys.
