The Art of War, Week #12 [Period 3, Monday]

"Are you all here?" Ghanima asked abruptly as the bell rang. "Anyone dead? Anyone kill anyone else?"

Without waiting for any sort of answer, she smiled impishly. "Good enough," she announced, hopping off her desk. "Today, we have two parts to our class. The eleventh chapter of Tzu's book speaks of both the varieties of ground found within terrain, and of leadership styles."

"I do not feel like going over territory disputes, I've done that enough this past week dealing with treaties from home that my brother has been kind enough to ask me to handle. Instead, we will look at the leadership aspects of the chapter. There are as many different styles of directing people as there are people in the universe. While Tzu has some very good, and very bad, ideas, I'm curious to see what qualities you look for in a leader."

"First, however, I want to hear your reports on your assignment."

"Thing about cuttin' yourself off from the rest of the world like that method suggests is that you're cuttin' off your allies right along with your enemies, zoto." Reno shrugged. "And if people want to get in bad enough, friend or foe, they're gonna find their way. Even if it means jumpin' all the way to another world to get there. Tried it. Didn't work."

He crossed his arms over his chest. "I follow when I can get away with it. I'll lead when I gotta, and when it comes to that it's all about gettin' the job done. But I'm better off with someone in charge, zoto. Someone who understands what it means to take pride in what we're doin'."
