Sneaky Spycraft: Week 15, Period 5

[tricksy-spy.livejournal.com]

"One last class," Aly said with a grin at the students.  "Which, I suppose, is supposed to be a final exam, but tests are silly.  The only real way to find out if you learned anything is to throw you out there and see what happens."  She winked.  "But, you know, that's frowned upon."

"So you've all lucked out in the lack of the test - I trust you've taken from the class what you could and I've taught you enough that if you needed to, you'd be capable of keeping yourself alive for long enough."

"Instead of a test, I want you all to answer two questions for me - and you can ask me one - something you were hoping we'd get to and never did.  So, question one:  in last week's scenario - would you actually poison the girl on the dais?  And question two: what are the benefits of spying?  What are the ethical considerations that have arisen over the past fifteen weeks?"

"After that, you're all free to go.  I've enjoyed having all of you in class this semester.  Those who are leaving the school, best of luck to you as you move on, and I hope to see those who stay either in a future class or stopping by my office when you get a chance.  It's been a pleasure, and if you ever need anything, I'll see what I can do."

"If it was necessary I could see doing it," Willow said. "Like if she was really evil or doing so would make good things happen or something. Benefits of spying are having more information than you'd have without spying, which allows you to do what you need to do. And hopefully with less harm to all involved than if you had to go over there and beat the information out of them. Though there are ethical problems what with the whole being sneaky and breaking and entering and all. But sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do."
