Ethics [Tuesday, December 16, 2nd period]

[sith_happened]

"Welcome to your Ethics final," Anakin said, pacing around the Danger Room. "I will provide you with a series of scenarios. Either pull up a seat, " --the simulation generously provided on--"and tell me which of the options you would pick, or choose to try the simulation as a live demonstration and see what kind of consequences your actions would have."

He pressed his lips together. "Try not to die if at all possible."

He consulted the notes in his hand. "Oh, before I forget. If any of you are interested in a service project during the break, I've been in contact with the chief of the Ewok village where the Woklings came from. They are still recovering from a major battle that happened above and on their moon a few years ago and would be very grateful for anyone who would like to go build tree houses for a few days. See me after class for more information."

Scenario #1

[sith_happened]

You arrive home after an extended period away to discover your mother has been kidnapped. She's presumed dead. What do you do?

Re: Scenario #1: Written/Oral Response Option

[sith_happened]

A neutral female voice lists your options. Do you:
a) Mourn and move on.
b) Brood about it constantly. Perhaps write poetry.
c) Ignore the idea that she might be dead and go after her yourself. Upon finding her remains, torch the village she was in.
d) None of the above. If none of the above, explain your response.

C & B.

d) Mourn and do everything within my power to make sure that the proper authorities do everything they can to bring the people responsible to justice.

This was, of course, a lie.

Re: Scenario #1: Action Option

[sith_happened]

You find yourself in a desert talking to a man who's lost his legs chasing after her. What's your next move?

Scenario #2

[sith_happened]

You find out that your wife is pregnant, yay! But you also learn that she will die in childbirth. Less yay. What now?

Re: Scenario #2: Written/Oral Option

[sith_happened]

Same female voice, different options. Do you:

a) Make the most of the time you have left.
b) Look frantically for a cure. If this means doing unsavory things for slightly creepy people, so be it.
c) Like I'd ever get married. Here's how I see it going...
d) None of the above. If none of the above, explain your response.

Re: Scenario #2: Action Option

[sith_happened]

You're sitting in a huge room next to a slightly creepy man who is telling you that there are ways that you haven't been taught to cheat death. Your move now. What do you say?

Scenario #3

[sith_happened]

Curse those rebels and their stubbornness. You've captured one of their leaders but she won't tell you where their secret base is. Conveniently enough, you're in a mobile superweapon that can destroy planets. The options are fairly open...

Re: Scenario #3: Written/Oral Option

[sith_happened]

Yep, the woman's slightly irritating voice is back. Do you:

a) Call it a day. We'll capture another rebel some time. Maybe they'll tell us.
b) Drag her out onto the command deck and threaten to blow up her planet.
c) Drag her out onto the command deck and actually blow up her planet.
d) None of the above. Please to explain.

Re: Scenario #3: Action Option

[sith_happened]

You're on the command deck looking out onto a beautiful blue planet. Sure would be cool to see it explode, huh?

Scenario #4

[sith_happened]

There is a dangerous vampire loose on the island. He should probably be stopped. Problem is, you don't know where he is, or how to fight vampires.

Re: Scenario #4: Written/Oral Option

[sith_happened]

Last time to hear from the lady! Do you:

a) Stay inside and try to come up with a plan that involves daylight, stakes, and automatic flamethrowers.
b) Go outside doused in meat scent and get killed.
c) Go outside unprepared and get killed.
d) Go outside prepared and get killed anyway.

Yes, Anakin thought these were your only options.

Re: Scenario #4: Action Option

[sith_happened]

You find yourself in a locked dorm room.

That's it. The door won't open. Neither will the windows.

Anakin is not subtle.

Talk to Anakin [12/16]

[sith_happened]

Yay, Ewoks! Or exam questions, if that's more your thing.

Re: Talk to Anakin [12/16]

[sonofmogh.livejournal.com]

"Sir," Worf said presenting himself after the exam. "I am here to offer my assistance to the... Ewoks. Sir."

Re: Talk to Anakin [12/16]

[endsthegame]

"You can sign me up for the visit," Ender said. He was a little quiet after the exam, but he'd shut that firmly away behind his expression. "I'd like to lend a hand."

Re: Talk to Anakin [12/16]

[darkangelsawyer.livejournal.com]

Oh, she was sure she was going to regret this, but... "Sir... maybe I could do this in place of the detentions? Or at least one of them?"

Re: Talk to Anakin [12/16]

[finding-x-dream.livejournal.com]

Agnes leaned in close to Anakin. "It's very gracious of you to help rebuild the homes you destroyed," she told him, making a ridiculously WILD guess. "I'd be happy to help."

Re: Talk to Anakin [12/16]

[weetuskenraider]

"I'd like to go, Master Skywalker," Tahiri offered, "unless it would be too complicated."

OOC

[sith_happened]

Look to plotterywheel later today for more details, but the trip to Endor is going to be light on plot, heavy on silliness.

And Ewoks. And a chance to meet Threepio :)

Habitat for Wokanity?
