Ethics [Monday, February 5, 5th period]

[sith_happened]

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.

"There was a rebel captured recently in my home galaxy," Vader began, "who possessed knowledge about where the headquarters of her wrong-headed and illegal organization was located. After extensive interrogation, it was decided that extreme measures must be taken to get her to reveal her information."

Vader paused, the only sound in the room his ventilation unit.

"So we destroyed her home planet from space."

Vader paced in front of his desk, his black cape sweeping out behind him. "This is an interrogation droid," he continued, waving his hand at the hovering orb. "There are times when asking politely for information accomplishes nothing and blowing up a planet is inconvenient."

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

"Today, we will conduct an experiment," Vader said, staring down the students. "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 is practically required. When you reach a stalemate in your negotiations--and feel free to shoot at the prisoners with the water pistols from last week, for I do not see how getting wet can possible be construed as physical violence--," he said to the interrogators, pointing towards the box on his desk, "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 spun on his heel. "And don't do anything to make the interrogator droid notice you. Its programming is very sensitive. It would be a lot of paperwork if any of you were inadvertently tortured."

Pair up and conduct an interrogation

[sith_happened]

The Rebel scum spies are: Baltier, Irulan, Walter, Molly, Draco, Blair, Steerpike, Valentine, Turtle, Sam, and Katara.

The Rebel base is on Yavin 4.

The Imperial interrogators are: Marco, John, Jake, Kaoru, Neil, Schrodinger, Jaye, Eric, Dean, and Zuko. If you don't get this information, the Rebels will use this base to destroy the space station you are living on. If you survive such an attack Vader will have you executed for gross incompetence.

If there are absences, Vader will pick up the other side of that pair. Lucky you.

Threats of violence are fine. Actual violence will send you to detention. And as he said in the lecture, Vader doesn't view getting shot with water to be actual violence.

Vader's a little skewed.

Draco didn't look happy to be a Rebel at all. He eventually convinced himself it will be a nice learning experience to be on the other side of the whole interrogation thing.

Jaye waves to her Vader-car-wash buddy. "Where were you on the night of April 25?"

"Probably somewhere drinking tea." replied Draco, smirking.

Rebel eh? It kind of fit in a way. It would be very interesting to see if any of them could get him to talk, however. Balthier had very few buttons to push...

Weiss sat next to Balthier. "Hey, how's it going?"

"Peachy, yourself?" He smirked.

Valentine stared at the little piece of paper incredulously. He was a rebel? ... That was interesting.

He wondered idly exactly what his information was worth to anyone who might want to interrogate him.

"Hi," said Jake, and sat down in front of the masked person. "I'll be your interrogator for today." He sipped his coffee. "So... Do you like coffee?"

Re: Pair up and conduct an interrogation

[dark_slippy_thing]

"Yes, I like coffee," Valentine replied with a bit of a smirk. There was no harm in answering honestly about liking coffee. It didn't have information about... Tartar four, or whatever the heck the planet was called. "I see you like coffee as well."

Irulan waited for a partner, this was where her Bene Gesserit training would pay off quite well. She is calm, serene.

Marco sat down next to Irulan and simply stared at her.

Re: Pair up and conduct an interrogation

Irulan didn't blink. She returned the stare, expression inscrutable.

"Oh, sweet. Rebel!" Turtle may have bounced a little as she eagerly looked about to see which "Imperial" would interrogate her. Unsuccessfully, of course. She was the type of person to sew her own lips shut if she had to to keep a secret.

Okay, maybe not that far...

John, trying to look all Imperial, stomped up to Turtle. "I'll be interrogating you today."

Re: Pair up and conduct an interrogation

[stocksgrrl.livejournal.com]

Turtle lifted her chin in defiance of the Imperial Scum.

"Okay."

Steerpike leaned back in his seat and awaited the "interrogation".

This should be interesting.

Walter looked at his paper and shrugged. A rebel. Right.

He waited for an interrogator.

Re: Pair up and conduct an interrogation

"Hi, Walter. I got a feeling you're gonna be a tough nut to crack."

Re: Pair up and conduct an interrogation

Katara was more than happy to be a rebel. As long as it didn't involve being tied to a tree. She sat back, fingering her necklace and waited for the interrogation.

Dean made a face when he saw he'd been made an interrogator, but figured that it was something he might need to do sometime. Looking around at the rebels, he settled on Katara.

"So, I don't suppose you want to just tell me where the base is so we can get out of class early?" he asked with a grin.

Re: Pair up and conduct an interrogation

Sam was kind of glad he'd ended up as a spy, and waited for an interrogator.

Re: Pair up and conduct an interrogation

[thebluespirit.livejournal.com]

Zuko randomly picked someone who he thought looked impressionable enough. He stomped over and braced both hands on the desk as he leaned into Sam's personal space. "Speak," he demanded.

Happy that he didn't end up as an interrogator, Blair took a seat and waited for a partner.

Molly was kind of relieved to be a rebel and not an interrogator. She sat back and waited to be questioned.
