Advanced Sneakiness [Tuesday, July 20]

[sith_happened]

Anakin was not exactly fine with what had happened in the latter part of last week, which was why today's Danger Room looked like the interior of a refugee freighter. Padmé had been weighing heavily on his mind

"One of the most important aspects of infiltration is the ability to blend in and not be noticed," he said as he walked through the crowded space. "And one of the most obvious ways to do that is through the use of clothing." He swept his hands out. "We will start simply. This is a refugee freighter, an inexpensive and slow way to move around my galaxy. Here you would find beings from many species and systems, none of them particularly wealthy."

He pointed to one of the doors. "Behind that doorway you will find a very large supply of clothing, and a computer that links to a database full of the planets in my galaxy. You have fifteen minutes. Put together a costume and a cover story that would explain why you are traveling from Coruscant--the galaxy's capital--to Naboo--a planet famed for its beauty."

"I thought I'd start wherever the port was and work my way out. Do you know anyone who might be hiring or know someone who is?"

"I might," Anakin said, "but I don't even know your name. Why should I help you out?"

"I'm Kyle, and because it might be my lucky day?" That line he stole straight from Derek. It didn't work then.

"No," Anakin said flatly. "Try again."

"I could do something for you in exchange." He knew that deal all too well. "Is there anything you want?"

"Are you offering me a bribe?" Anakin asked.

"A trade," Kyle protested. "It's not a bribe unless you're doing something you're not supposed to!"

"I want a job that isn't interviewing refugees on a freighter," Anakin said. "What can you do about that?"

Kyle had to think about his response. Up to now, he'd been winging it and feeling like he was going to get caught out at any second. "I could put the word out for you. I'm going to be traveling all over."

"And who's going to believe a kid from--where were you from again?" Anakin asked, hoping to trip Kyle up on specifics.

"Kyrouac," Kyle replied, pronouncing it wrong. "Why wouldn't they believe me?"

"Because you've mispronounced your homeworld," Anakin told him, breaking character.

"I did? What did I say?"

"It's Kyrouac," Anakin said, pronouncing it correctly, "and it's far enough off the beaten path that you might not get caught, but I wouldn't count on it."
