Spies and Spying: Week 6. Period 1

Aly stood in front of the class looking thoughtful as they came in. 

"Over the past five classes, we've talked a lot about different ways to get information," she said.  "But we've never talked about what to do once you have the information.  In general, that's not the spy's job.  The spy simply retrieves the information and passes it up the chain of command.  It's the spymaster or the officer or the politician's job.  But things are rarely that easy, and none of you are actually spies."  She grinned.  "That I know of."

"So how do you know when to act?  How do you know when to act wisely?  When the goal is revolution, the object should only rarely be to just taunt the person in power or draw his attention to you.  You need a plan.  You need a clear objective, and you need to make sure you have as much information as possible before you act."

She raised an eyebrow.  "So take...oh, whatever possibility you wish to discuss and form a plan of action.  Decide what information you need, and how - using the techniques we've talked about - you'd go about getting it."

"It doesn't matter. If she's hurting me, she can't be hurting you, and according to your reasoning, that makes it fine."

"It doesn't make it fine, because her hurting you is worse than her hurting me."

"I'm not talking about this with you if you're going to act like this," Aravis snapped. "If you can't stop for one second to think about how hard this is on me without getting into some stupid, childish fight about it."

As an afterthought, she added, "Do not," under her breath.

She didn't like losing.

"You think you getting hurt is somehow easier on me?" Seely snapped back, almost yelling. "Ever think that maybe I don't want someone else I love getting hurt?"

"And how is it supposed to be any easier for me, then, for you to merrily taunt her and call her out like this, practically daring her to hurt you?" Aravis replied, her voice rising slightly in pitch.

"I don't expect it to be easy!" Seely had a pair of lungs on him, oh yes. "But I'd much rather she hurt me than you!"
