Hi guys! I'm new in the forum and I'm having a bit of a writer's block in this fanfic I'm writing. I've been thinking around the concept of "Indentured man" Inara uses in 1.02 to get Mal and Zoe off the hook and I wanted to check with you if you think it refers to the definition in the link below or if it has more of a sexual connotation. For some reason anything that Inara says to me comes out with a sexual connotation, I dunno. Anyway, thanks and keep flying!

I think it just means Mal is her slave. I don't believe it has anything to do with sex. The signal did a really good segment on slavery in the verse and they touched on this exact exam and went in pretty good detail. I wish I could remember what episode of the podcast it was but I do not.

indentured servant   a person who is placed under contract to work for another over a period of time, usually seven years, especially during the 17th to 19th centuries. Generally, indentured servants included redemptioners, victims of religious or political persecution, persons kidnapped for the purpose, convicts, and paupers.

DALEK!


I don't think it was meant to be sexual at all. Remember we also learn in "Jaynestown" that most of the mudders are indentured and that clearly has no sexual conduction.

I do not fear God, I fear the ignorance of man.
