Ethics (Thursday, September 28, 6th period)

[sith_happened]

Vader swept into the room precisely on time, slamming the door hard enough to reverberate down the hallway. He dropped a box of cookies onto his desk.

"Today we talk about how a strict sense of right and wrong interferes in efficiency," he said, pacing the room and clearly intending to intimidate as many students as possible. "Employees who do not believe that there will be consequences for their incompetence become lazy, stupid, and easily replaceable."

Vader took the box of cookies from his desk and passed it around the room. "Each of you has a cookie," he said. "You will spend the rest of the class period using the tactics of fear, shame and guilt to get the other people in this classroom to give you their cookies." And yes, that word sounded incredibly strange coming from him. "Whoever has the most cookies at the end of the class will get to keep them."

He crossed his arms over his chest. "Are these tactics unethical? Does it matter if you get what you want?"

"Oh, yeah," Bel said. "We're good. She's just still there 'cuz, uh, she got mugged Sunday night and her Grandmother wants to keep an eye on her."

"No," Bel said. "They didn't. But she's gonna be okay. She's just really shaken up."

"That sucks. Still, I'm glad she's okay. Tell her I was asking about her," she said.

Bel nodded. "I will. Hopefully she'll be back at school by this weekend."

"That's good. But in the meantime, if you need anything..."

"Thanks," Bel said. "I may take you up on that." Even after talking to Phale and Blair, he still wasn't feeling much better about what he'd done.

"You know where I live. Stop by anytime," she smiled.

Bel smiled back. "I will," he said.
