Slaves in a Pirate Train

[Zelot]

Only a few, in a tank without life support?

Your estimations of life expectancy are marginally more positive than mine.

Well, a little real life input here. Estimates have put the number of African slaves that died during transit of the Atlantic Ocean at one quarter to one third of all those who started the journey. Much more than a few, but still, something that happened. Anyone who would trade in slaves cant really be expected to worry that much for their cargo, as we can see from this real world example. They would give the minimal possible life support, and if say a quarter of the slaves died on the trip, so what? They wont lose any sleep over it. If they could stick an oxygen tank and some fiberglass around the wall of the tanks, they would give it a try.
