In all works of EVE, the main character immediately or almost immediately ends up in Aratan or some other place, where the fate of a slave passes him by. For quite a long time, Markin Malik’s “Slave” ( was in the status of a privileged slave. But he was with a pirate master on the frontier, he had a basic neural network and a collar. How is the Avar Empire structured? What will happen to those who join it again? Of course, those who fall into it must be lucky, very lucky or very lucky in order to get rid of slavery. So I sent GG straight to Avar. GG is smart, almost 30 years old, with high intelligence. Stolen at the very end of the 90s or the beginning of the 2000s. I made some deviations from the canonical version of the EVE worlds. Firstly, there are two types of slave neural networks – strict (it is traditionally described by other authors) and non-strict. The non-strict category is assigned to savages and, in general, newcomers from the periphery, to those who can possibly fit into Avar society. There are also collars, they are not mentioned in the first part. Secondly, so that the GG would not be immediately scored on a bioskin, or not forced into some highly intellectual work, I needed to complicate the procedure for determining intelligence. In the proposed version, intelligence is poorly (long, expensive and, most importantly, inaccurately) determined in intelligent people without a neural network, with a slave neural network it is determined to be greatly underestimated, and can be easily (free, quickly and accurately) determined with standard neural networks. Thirdly, I frankly do not believe in the absence of an education system in the world of EVE. First book.
