Ethics [Thursday, March 20}

[sith_happened]

Today Anakin's desk was covered with droid babies in bassinets.

Each baby had a tiny stuffed Ewok tucked next to it. Shh.

"Today we talk about lust," Anakin said. "Or rather, the unintended consequences that can happen when you take action without precautions."

He smiled. "Meet your little projects for the next week. They're heavy, they cry, and they will record everything you do with them. So if you stuff them into a closet for a week, believe me, I'll know."

He reached for a list of paper. "Some of you I've paired together, some of you are single parents." His smile turned a little evil. "Some of your babies are a little fussier than others."

He was a petty, petty man.

"I think they do that a lot," said Hoshi, picking up the droid baby. It stopped crying, but started again when she tried to put it down. "I think this is going to be a very long week," she groaned.

"Totally," Summer replied with a sigh. "So, uh, we should probably name it or something."

Re: Hoshi & Summer

"Got any ideas for a name?" asked Hoshi.

"Believe it or not, I haven't given much thought about what to name a droid baby," Summer said.

Hoshi didn't need to think for too long. "I'd go with Reizo. It means 'calm' and hopefully that will apply to him."

Re: Hoshi & Summer

[absolutesnark]

Summer considered that. "Reizo, huh? I kinda like it."

She grinned. "Now, whose last name should he have?"

Re: Hoshi & Summer

"I'm not sure," said Hoshi. "If we use my last name, he'd be able to write his name in kanji, not that the assignment lasts long enough for him to learn how to write."

"That could be cool," Summer said thoughtfully. "He'd have the whole alliteration thing going on if he had mine. Maybe both names could be incorporated?"

Re: Hoshi & Summer

"Maybe his last name could be hyphenated?" suggested Hoshi.

Re: Hoshi & Summer

"So, Reizo Sato-Roberts?" Summer liked the way that sounded.

"Sounds good to me," said Hoshi. "Now comes the hard part. How do we divide up baby-sitting duties?"

Re: Hoshi & Summer

[absolutesnark]

"One of us can take him now and the other can take him on Sunday?" Summer suggested.

Re: Hoshi & Summer

"That works," said Hoshi. "I don't have any classes tomorrow and I don't usually work on weekends, so I could take him now."

Re: Hoshi & Summer

[absolutesnark]

"That seems to work out then," Summer said. "I don't have classes until Tuesday and I don't work at all. Does that make me a stay at home mom, then?"

Re: Hoshi & Summer

"I think it just makes you an at-home caregiver," said Hoshi.

Re: Hoshi & Summer

[absolutesnark]

"That sounds better," Summer said, nodding.
