ASoS 23: Daenerys 311

Dany goes shopping for a slave army. These aren't ordinary slaves, either. They're genetically engineered robots who feel no pain, have no emotions, and no personality. You can cut off their nipples and they don't even flinch. Somewhat disappointingly they don't have penises.  But Dany has really attentive handmaidens, so she probably only needs them for fighting anyway.

They don't come with officers and they follow orders to the letter. I'm a computer programmer and I foresee problems.

Dany is not sure about the whole slave army thing from a personal brand point of view. Mormont points out the central lesson of the series: valiance, nobility and honour are a leading cause of death in Westeros.
