A story based in
Adalore's Vulcan Automata World,
We get to watch as two new employees from very different backgrounds and brought on-board and Cyberized into creatures of polymer, plastic and electricity!
I am afraid they are uploaded as .pdfs as there is lots of formatting in the story that I do not want to lose

I was thinking more that VA might be interested in setting up some others to get their comeuppance... more products available to purchase and convert for additional indentures. :)
And, possibly reducing Whistler's indenture, should he be a model employee... of course, if not, well, he may get what they think he deserves.

Now you have me curious, why wouldn't VA care that an innocent person was sold into slavery? Unless they ARE mind controlling the converts, they'd be giving the victim every reason to attempt to oppose VA, whereas if they upgraded him to full employee status after discovering his innocence it'd give him a reason to willingly support VA.
It just doesn't make sense, is what I'm getting at.

They don't care because they are aliens that while they are very careful about how they make decisions and how they poke the populace, they have this situation effectively:
Person who is owned (by the criminal punishment system) by an entity that VA consider the local authority just turned over a person for conversion. He was reduced to property in this case and sold to them. VA don't care how that got to that point because it is done and gone. The don't really care about how the locals do their thing as long as business advances.
Now if that same entity that reduced them property came back saying they made a mistake and are willing to BUY their contract back with a cybernetic body on the governments budget that is on them.
While VA might not care they will engage with the government layer of things if a thing can be decided on but they won't just throw him back at them after the conversion process because of the costs of the whole situation.
Because the thing is...Slavery and ownership expectations are different everywhere through out the universe they act in, they will gladly buy slaves to turn into workers(that probably then have much better future prospects after the contract expires and they have paid for themselves).
The only thing they care about is poisoning the well long term, and when the fault is clearly on the locals and not VA taking the person on, they can sort themselves out. They are not the "HOLIER THAN THOU" aliens that force their specific brand of morality on other people, there is probably records of how horrible a idea that is within setting.

O have to wonder though, are they just going and enslaving him and wiping him clean to use, or are they going to qctually try and build a rapport by treating him well and eventually letting him go or letting him earn his own contract/freedom? Because it seems like it would be better to try and form long term loyalty, rather than having to drain their mind to nothing getting around them creating enmity by knowingly enslaving an innocent person. Not to mention it would avoid frightening other employees by making them think they'd be enslaved too.
Was just going back through your gallery and saw this series, and it piqued my interest.

They try to treat their workers as ethically as they can as a rule. They don't see any benefit in turning people into drones when they could just BUILD drones. The unique problem solving of a person is partially what they are after when they "Hire" someone. But because they are aliens with the longest term world view they don't see the indentured employment status as out of line because to them it's pretty short.
It is in their best interest to maintain positive relations with the locals because who else are they going to sell stuff to? Can't do that if you are droning employees. Now the doofy thing happens when someone is not willing to work, their bodies will be still be used to work off the cost of the cyberization. Which is of course not a choice because it is coerced out of them but welp space aliens.
