"Welcome back," Anakin said. "I trust your time with your friends-and-or-relatives was productive and you used the lessons of this class to ease tension if not." He smiled a little brightly. "And if you didn't get enough of that sort of thing this weekend, I thought you'd enjoy additional practice."

He clapped his hand an a few people materialized in the Danger Shop. "One will ask about your relationships, another will bring up how an ex is doing whether you want them too or not, and the final will go on and on about your more successful sibling." He grinned more widely. "Try to avoid them."

Evolutionary Science for Beginners - Monday, 1st Period

Cutter had been rather sad to say goodbye to Becker, Lester and his Connor, even though he knew they would visit the ARC soon but it had been nice having them visit Fandom and spending time with them.

He had his usual large cup of coffee as he stood in front of the class, “good morning,” he began the lesson, “this week we will be covering the Survival of the Fittest for our next topic, Survival of the Fittest is a term that was made famous by British naturalist Charles Darwin and states that organisms best adjusted to their environment are the most successful at surviving and reproducing,” he nodded over at Connor with a smile for him to take over the lecture.

“There are many examples of this in nature” Connor started with a nod as he set down his usual coffee and picked up his notes for the class. “Natural selection and survival of the fittest go hand in hand. The changes and adaptations seen in natural selection that make certain members of a plant or animal species more adapted to survival are what gives them an advantage in survival. They are the fittest and best suited at that time for their environment and will continue to live and reproduce. A shark born with a mutation that makes its fins smaller and causes it to be less agile will be at a disadvantage and it will likely not survive long enough to reproduce. A shark born with a mutation that makes it more adapted to the temperature changes in the oceans will have a better chance of surviving and passing on that new trait. That is survival of the fittest in a nutshell.” Connor smiled as he looked back over at Cutter.

“So for the rest of the class I’d like you to work on your worksheets and as always if you need help, myself and Mr. Temple will be happy to provide assistance,” Cutter smiled as he handed out the worksheets that they would be working on for that lesson.

When the students arrived, they would find a note and a video player left by Fosse.

Class has been called due to migraine. Please watch this film and we can discuss it later.

Whether the film in question was the one Jon had meant to leave...well, Fosse was a troll.
