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."

I didn't think I was very good.
Re: [Spying 8/15] - Questions or Comments?
Trust me, you did much better than very good.
Re: [Spying 8/15] - Questions or Comments?
Thank you.
And then he paused for a minute before writing more.
I'm not with you just for that, you know that right? Being honest, yes, I liked that and I like being able to touch and kiss and cuddle and all those things but that's not the only reason I really like you. I can talk to you or not talk to you and I feel better either way. You can make me laugh and I like making you laugh. I smash eggs with books and you make good food. I like teaching you how to fly and you still have to show me yotha. Yuda? Whatever that word was. I could make a list.
Re: [Spying 8/15] - Questions or Comments?
Yoga. And you don't have to do that.

He drew another smiley face.
I probably can't in class. Not enough paper and all.

Well, we can add something else to the things we do well together list? Write notes!
With a grin, he added, Sweetheart.

I'll see you Saturday, right? At the beach. I'll even remember sunscreen this time.

And he smiled before tucking his pen behind his ear. That didn't stop him from still sneaking glances over at her though.
