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."

Now this was a class that Worf could get into.

He was smiling. It was actually a little scary.

Molly wasn't sure what the heck the robes were about, but the sword was awesome. She stood back from people while she tried to get the hang of swinging it and waited for her partner.

Tahiri gulped, but walked over. "You wanted to see me, Master Skywalker?"

Myn walked over to Molly, feeling incredibly awkward in the robes. "Molly, right?"

He would trade the lightsaber for a good blaster in a heartbeat. Maybe it would make a decent projectile, if thrown right...

Dōjima held the lightsaber out away from her, as if it was going to bite.

"I really hope you know how to use one of these," she said, glancing at her partner. "Because I have no idea what's going on."

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.

"It appears to be a sword," Worf replied trying to get a sense of the weapons balance and use. "I take it you are unfamiliar with using something like it?"

To say that Ender had mixed feelings about this assignment would be understating the situation to a fantastic degree. It was a sim. He remembered the last time he'd been in anything remotely like this. He wasn't comfortable.

No.

Experience told him it was useless, but he wasn't going to be tricked, cajoled, or otherwise put in a spot like this again without speaking to the teacher in question. "Skywalker?"

While he waited for Dick, Bumblebee was trying to decide if he liked his robe or not, and whether it was worth using the lightsaber when he was more likely to cut off a digit than use it successfully.
