You summarize the situation

To sum up, you were bought as a house pet by a middle class homeowner, subject to please him in every way possible. You are likely to be used by not just him, but also his friends, a girlfriend, or his neighbors. You also have a strong feeling that the footage from the cameras will be distributed on the holo-net, just so Mr. O’Brian could get some extra cash.

Your gut tells you that going along with things is highly advised here. If you are too jumpy, he might feel you need some further conditioning, and he could break you in for good. But you might feel inclined to try your luck with those fingertips. If you get your hands free, you might just pull off a successful escape, and get back to Coalition space.
