Ethics [Tuesday, October 7, 2nd period]

Today the class was meeting in the Danger Room.

"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 twinkled at Tahiri before going 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 (well, except for Jan. Anakin hadn't figured out how that could work). 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:

Agnes Nitt & Blysse Norwood (Blind Seer has the option of wearing a robe if it would amuse him)
Andrew Wiggin & Toby Moraitis
Bumblee & Dick Grayson
Ella of Frell & Harvey Dent
Jan & Jess Mariano
Lee Adama & Liz Sherman
Meg Powers & Michael Guerin
Molly Carpenter & Myn Donos
Peyton Sawyer & Penelope Wilhern
Worf & Yukira Dojima

"Tahiri, come see me first, please."

The lightsaber, Firekeeper had to admit, was... interesting. The swirlyness of the robes was less interesting, more irritating.

Blind Seer had opted out of wearing the robe. And was currently teasing Firekeeper about the fact that he could do so while she couldn't as they waited for Agnes.

Agnes activated the lightsaber, and held it away from her as if she were afraid she'd accidentally cut a limb off.

Well, she was.

"I vote we try diplomacy," she told her partners. "If it comes to fighting, you two are going to have to go it alone."

"You will have to do diplomacy alone, if we try," Firekeeper shrugged. "Wolves is not good at such."

Agnes shrugged. "You can always start with 'don't make me rip your throat out with my teeth' and go from there. Diplomacy doesn't have to be eloquent. Aside from that..." She glanced worriedly at the lightsaber. "I'll do my best to stick the glowing end in the badguys. Let's do this.

Firekeeper snorted. "Is good plan. Ready?"

Agnes nodded. "As ready as I'll ever be."

She made sure she was behind Blysse and Blind Seer. So she wouldn't get in their way when it came time for fighting.
