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."

"I'm not, either!" Agnes agreed. She tried to hide behind her lightsaber -- which didn't exactly work very well, to say the least -- and hoped that she wouldn't accidentally hit Blysse with it.

But she'd heard what the robots sounded like. Hopefully, they weren't too bright.

"Fall back!" called a robotic voice, cutting across the battle. "This way! Fall back! Everbody over here!" The way it echoed, it sounded like it was coming from a side corridor, one that looked like it probably wasn't the way Agnes, Blysse, and Blind Seer needed to go.

Agnes coughed and rubbed her neck. Getting that metallic sound just right hurt her throat.

Well that was one way to get rid of them. Firekeeper nodded silently in approval of the tactic- she could imitate bird calls, but something like that was far beyond her league. And also kind of useless in this setting.

She pushed aside any lingering disappointment at not getting to fight more. The hunt was more important, and they had a trail to follow (http://community.livejournal.com/fandomhigh/1900668.html?thread=120589692#t120589692).

Agnes stared after them. "I didn't really expect that to work," she explained. "I thought maybe it'd distract them, but..." She trailed off.
