Ethics [Tuesday, February 16]

[sith_happened]

For the last few semesters, Anakin had called on his experiences in the Clone Wars for the midterm subject matter. With Leia in the class, that would just leave him open to a lot of questions he wasn't ready to answer.

So he went further back into his history and completely reprogrammed the Danger Shop's look for this test.

"When I was thirteen years old," he began, "and had built my first lightsaber, my master and I were sent on an assignment to protect a diplomatic vessel from attack from a T'surr slaver named Krayn." As he gestured, the giant blue alien appeared in the center of the room, which had now shifted to resembled the non-too-clean interior of the slaver's transport vessel. "Our mission was simple: to disable Krayn's ship and return to our own."

He held up a hand: "However. Krayn was a slaver, and had been for almost a decade. He had ruined countless lives, had raided slaves from a multitude of systems--" including Tatooine, but Anakin wouldn't be mentioning that, "--and his slaves were used to process spice: itself an illegal, dangerous narcotic in our galaxy, which had made him very, very rich, not to mention extremely powerful. Your choice in the assignment today is simple: follow your master and disable the weapons systems of this ship and escape, or break off on your own and try to track down Krayn and free the slaves on this vessel."

With a gesture from Anakin, lightsaber hilts appeared in the air above each student. "Remember what you have learned about the dangers of anger and pride. Choose wisely. May the Force be with you. You may pair up with a fellow student if you'd like."

Listen to the lecture [2/16]

As you look around the ship that surrounds you, there aren't exactly sign posts for where to go, but you've started off in the engine room (Anakin having piloted the tiny infiltration craft though the exhaust ports, as you do. Well, if you're him), and the weapons systems are normally a few rooms over.

The captain of the ship could be anywhere.

And think fast, because the engine room isn't exactly empty. You'll have three seconds when the simulation springs to life to start moving before the slavers start shooting.

Aren't midterms fun?

...Yes, Arthur would be here, torn between the need to follow orders and the need to run off and save people.

Watch him mentally bash his head against a wall several times before picking an option! It was fun for the whole family!

As soon as Bod realized he was alone in the small room, he tried to find somewhere to fold himself against or into so he wouldn't be seen for a few moments. The room would be searched, he knew, but he had experience with dodging and slipping past people as if they didn't know it.

So, he pressed himself against a wall, hiding behind a small jutting machine and waited, barely breathing. He figured he could make a plan while waiting out whoever might come into the room.

Oh, yes, give Calvin a weapon, that'll end well.

See Zack. See Zack refrain from squeeing at the lightsaber.

Okay, maybe a few squeaky sounds got out. A couple. He couldn't help it. Lightsabers were so cool!

Griff's eyes went wide at the lightsaber, but he grabbed hold of it like it was a baseball bat.

This could be interesting.
