Immortal territory

PART SIX
Looking down on Outer Earth you will see that on the great northern continent there is a great desert near the sea.  North of this desert there is a great fertile plain and to the east of this is a line of mountains, the coal mountains. In these mountains is a city.
This is part of the Immortal territory and the plain is the slave lands.
In the slave lands are towns and villages named after days of the week where the working slaves and their managers live. Each town or village has at least five managers living in it in large houses. Every month the managers change to a different village. The slaves are taken from the lands around Immortal territories on raids and are flown in on large freight ships which look like metal fish.
They are taken to the Immortal capital in the mountains
where they are given their uniforms and inspected and told what jobs they will have and that it is futile to try to escape because of all the wonderful security and blah de blah de blah. Next they are issued with identity cards and flown to one of the various towns where they will probably work for the rest of their lives. Practically every citizen in Immortal territory has at least one slave so they are in high demand.  A household slave will, in small families, run errands and cook meals and generally do the housework.  A family slave will look after the children, a private slave has a number of different jobs, a show slave is chosen for her appearance and a work slave works in the slave lands or in the mines in the mountains.
