Editing Logic of Empire (section)

==Plot summary==
Two well-off [[Earth]] men are arguing about whether there is [[slavery]] on [[Venus]], and one of them gets [[shanghaiing|shanghai]]ed there, or so he believes; they later find out that they have bet one another about the topic, gotten drunk, and signed on. Upon his arrival, he finds his [[indentured servant|contract]] sold to a farmer. His discovery that it will take him years to [[debt bondage|work off his debt]] is compounded by his realization that he cannot get to sleep at night without ''rhira'', an expensive local [[narcotic]], which thus increases his debt every day.
