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

Re: Save the <s>Emperor</s> Chancellor!
"You're good!" Mel said going in for another attack. "I don't suppose you have a son who isn't as creepy looking and less evil?"

It was a bit of arrogance, too.
Re: Save the <s>Emperor</s> Chancellor!
"Yeah? Well you know what the difference between you and me is?" Mel retorted.

"We'll be fine," she reassured the Chancellor. Mostly to hear it herself.
