Ethics [Thursday, February 14]

Today the class was meeting in the Danger Room.

It was Valentine's Day and Anakin couldn't leave for Connecticut until class was over. So it wasn't a coincidence that today's class could get most of the students fake killed in nasty ways.

"Welcome to your midterm," Anakin said, pacing across the flight deck of a ship. Behind him, thousands of pricks of lights showed that a space battle had been paused for him to talk. "Today, you will get to be Jedi."

His eyes went flat. "Or try, anyway. Your mission," he said, striding over to a three-dimensional schematic of the ship, "is to rescue the Chancellor of the Republic, who has been kidnapped by a General Grievous, the leader of a Separatist movement. There's also another fearsome warrior aboard, a Lord of the Sith named Count Dooku. He is not to be underestimated. He took my arm off when I was 20."

He shrugged it off.

"Regardless. You will be paired up and rescue the Chancellor. Alive, please. Your mission is to fight past the droids, and the Sith Lord, get back on a different ship and the hell off of this one as quickly as possible."

He waved his hand towards the control panel. The students would now find themselves in brown robes and holding unlit lightsaber hilts. They would work like the real things, but only in the Danger Room.

Their reflexes, regrettably, were what they had come in with.

"Try not to die," Anakin said, "and for the love of the Force, don't do stupid things with your lightsabers like try to skewer your classmates or write your name in the floor." He then listed off the pairings:

Harvelle, Jo & Hammond, Evey
Anemone & Wells, Andrew
Atkins, Amber & Sato, Hoshi
Austreben, Karal & Emmagan, Teyla
Dresden, Harry & Montague, Romeo
Fray, Melaka & Rikku
Lang, Lana & Halliwell, Wyatt
Levine, Eve & Levine, Savannah
Park, Adam & Roberts, Summer
Reno & Sparks, Jenny
Price, Adah & Skywalker, Anakin

"He sent us instead," Evey said quietly, warming to her role as she went over to unfasten his bindings.

Jo eyed him. It was probably just an innate distrust of authority figures but... "Now why would we want to go do that?"

"Wouldn't the idea be that we...you know, came to get you?" Evey added, looking skeptical.

"Plus it's not just your ass we're dooming if you stay here," Jo pointed out.

Evey nodded. "You're not good at this," she added, frowning at Palpatine. "This self-sacrificing crap."

"Politicians aren't known for it," Jo agreed, then remembering how Palpatine had addressed Evey. "Sorry, Senator."

Evey raised a brow, amused and said, "None taken."

"Besides, if we're quick we won't have to worry about Count Ducku." She knew she was pronouncing it wrong, but playing dumb could be an advantage sometimes.

Evey nodded. "We're quick. Count Ducky won't catch us if we hurry."

"We won't know unless we try," Evey said, gesturing for him to come with her. "Come along."

"Sliced bread, probably," Jo replied, spinning around to look at Dooku. "County Duck, right?"
wannabehunter: (evil little grin)

"That's right, Count Dookula."

That's right Jo, bait the Sith, that can't go wrong.
