The door to the Ethics classroom rocked back on its hinges as per usual, but instead of a cloaked Sith Lord, a small ball hovered its way into the room.

It was black. It was shiny. It was incredibly menacing.

It surveyed the class for a long, quiet moment before Vader entered the room.

"This is an interrogation droid," he snarled, even angrier than most days. "There are times when asking politely for information accomplishes nothing."

It was very clear that the interrogation droid had no capacity for talking, though. It was an extremely advanced instrument of torture.

His gaze swept the students gathered in front of him, pausing for a moment on Rory before resting on Jamie. The only sound in the classroom was the whirring of mechanics from the droid and Vader's breathing.

"Today, we will conduct an experiment," Vader said, still staring at Jamie. "Half of you will be Rebel traitors who possess information about the location of your secret base." Those students received a slip of paper on their desks. "The other half of you are Imperial guards trying to obtain this information from your prisoner. I, personally, do not care what form your...questioning takes, but you cannot use actual physical violence."

There was a long pause. "In this particular exercise. In a real interrogation, it works very, very well. If you reach a stalemate in your negotiations, you may talk with your partner about how far you would be willing to go if the school would allow you to use physical violence, or if you had more time to get the prisoner to become...more pliable. Sleep deprivation also works very well."

He waved a gloved hand at the students. "Begin." He stared down at Jamie. "I have some questions for you, Mister Madrox."

Alanna glanced over at Bel and simply raised an eyebrow.

"Tell me the information or I set you on fire," Bel said.

"Like you even could." Alanna shot back.

"This is dumb," Bel grumbled. "Threats are no good if you aren't allowed to back them up."

"Um, Bel? I don't want to get set on fire. Nor do you, since may I remind you that I can also set things on fire without a lighter?" Alanna expression was of puzzlement. "That's probably the reason that rule is there."

"I know," Bel said. "I'm not really gonna set you on fire. But I'd use it to interrogate someone, but it's hard to make you afraid of something that's not going to happen."

Alanna face-palmed. "That would have actually been my reaction even if you were allowed to set me on fire. I get rude and insultive when threatened. I get rude and insultive period. Start over?"

"No, because then I would have set you on fire to make a point," Bel said. "So we're stuck. This is stupid."

"Well, from personal experience, I would have cussed you, your mother, and your looks while helping the other two people captured along side get out. And then compared your face to a hedgehog and made a few more comments about your mother and said hedgehog. But the guy I was insulting couldn't actually set me on fire and had made sure I coudn't set him on fire." Alanna said very calmly and almost as if she was talking about someone else.

Bel shook his head. "You don't wanna know what I've done to get information out of people," he said.

Alanna laughed dryly. "I have a nice imagination and live in a world were corporall punishment is normal. I should start a pool for who's going to be the first person to totally loose it in this class."

"Dude, I'll bring popcorn," Bel said. "Who do you think it's gonna be?"

"Hmmm...not Jamie."

"I'll put money on Rory if we do a how-to-kill-a-Jedi class," Bel mused.

"It'll turn into a "What to do in a riot situation" class."

Bel leaned back and crossed his arms. "So you gonna give me the info? Eh, doesn't matter. I'll just shimmer away from any exploding space station or whatever. Vader'd have to catch me to execute me."

"Nope. I'm one of those strange people who would die first before betraying anyone. And now I'm imaging a very amusing game of tag."

Bel raised his hand. "Lord Vader, I killed my person, can I have another?"

Alanna stuffed her fist into her mouth to keep from laughing.

Vader walked over. "Did you get the information?"
