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."

"Most games are meant to teach lessons," he pointed out. "I've had a lot of the kind before. I prefer the other way." That was only a mild understatement. Really.

"No," Ender replied. He shook his head. "That wouldn't change the game in the slightest." But he didn't feel like offering up his life story to give a reason for his request-- and from what he'd seen of his co-TA, he doubted this was an actual military maneuver disguised as something else.

But if there was one thing he'd learned, it was that it always paid to ask.

In some ways.

Ender looked at him steadily. "You'd be the first," he said, non-committally, and turned back towards the class.
