Extraterrestrial Civilizations - Class 10 [3/21, Period 4]

[stargazer-ellie.livejournal.com]

"Good morning," Ellie greeted the class as they arrived. "Today's guest speaker is from the planet Caprica and is actually a student here, Samuel Anders, so you may already know him. But my associates have seen fit to send another cultural representative from that particular area as well." She eyed the red-eyed shining silver metallic humanoid robot-thing as it stepped forward from the back of the room. "I've been told he won't bite, however. He doesn't say much, so I'm not sure what he has to offer the class other than making Anders scream like a girl."

The Cylon's really not saying much, but you can try to talk to him if you want. Or polish him.

Lana was more than a little freaked out by the cylon.

"What the heck is that?" Z asked. Then she realized she was being impolite to their guest. "Um, I mean, what the heck are you, sir?"

Rory just stared, sipping at her TOTALLY NOT DECAF HAHAHA DR. MCNINJA coffee and wondered what Artoo and Bertram would make of this thing.

"Buh?" That's really all Summer had to say at the moment.

Gwynn was a little puzzled by the shiny appliance in the classroom.

Anders was staying as far away from the Cylon Centurion as he could and no, he didn't scream like a girl but he sure as hell came damn close. He was also glaring balefully at Ellie for announcing his first name to the entire class.

"Um. So I have no idea how I got roped into this --" another nervous glance at the Centurion -- "since there's, like, really not that much difference between Colonial civilization and this one except for the part about how we have no idea where Earth is chronologically compared to the Colonies because we're human like you. And according to our religious texts you guys are actually the lost thirteen tribe of colonists that fled from the planet Kobol, so yeah. Totally related. Um."

He coughed and rubbed at the back of his neck, edging a few steps further away from the Centurion. "Our religion's pretty close to what you guys might know as Greek mythology, since our Lords of Kobol have the same names as a lot of the Greek gods, which makes taking The Gods and You kind of a really surreal experience for me, you know? And we've got different sports and things, but life there is honestly a lot like life here except that we have twelve planets instead of just one." Yeah, there were a lot of "except"s in his little completely unprepared speech. "Also? You guys have corners on your paper and TV screens and it's just weird, and I don't think the Thirteenth Colony ever had to deal with a bunch of frakking glorified toasters trying to wipe out all human life, but hey, you've gone through a lot of crap here too."

The cylon regarded Anders quietly, its one red eye swishing back and forth.

Z raised her hand. "So do you have like round paper?"

[absolutesnark]

"So, are there like witches and demons where you're from?" Summer asked casually while her mun smiled innocently.

"Aren't you the one with the Halliwell fetish?" "Why are you afraid of the shiny thing?"

Re: Guest Speaker [3/21]

Stark considered pointing out that he wasn't from Earth and certainly wasn't human. But then he decided that doing so just to confuse Anders might cost him cupcakes, so he didn't.

"You have 12 planets all full of you? Just you and your very shiny robots and nobody else?" Stark asked. He thought the lack of other sentient life was kind of odd.

Vote here if you want to see Anders in one of those cute little Triad outfits (http://media.battlestarwiki.org/images/thumb/7/71/Triad.jpg/300px-Triad.jpg) from BSG: TOS. (Not the best image, sadly.)

Also, Pyramid needs more hand-holding.
