Infiltration and Advanced Sneakiness [Tuesday, August 3]

When the students arrived in the Danger Shop, they found themselves facing an enormous pair of glass doors guarded by Stormtroopers. Anakin, cloak sweeping the ground behind him, entered through the glass doors.

"Welcome to your next challenge," he said. "Sometimes on a mission, the only way in is through the front door, and you might need information you will just not have access to to get in." He swept his hands out to point at the door. "Like today. This is a mid-level government building. You need to get past the security on the other side of those doors, using identification you do not have. The only thing you will have is your attitude, your natural gifts of persuasion and the contents of the wardrobe room over there, which does not contain weapons." He smiled. "I found that a long cloak and a 'don't kriffing mess with me' attitude works seven times out of ten."

The other three times, he used mental persuasion, but he wasn't going to bring that up in a class with students who might not understand how Force-abilities worked.

"The security guards will be played by the TAs and myself, with varying degrees of attentiveness, just as you would have with real security guards." He gave them all a tight smile. "Let's see how you do."

Well, this would be new; Tahiri hadn't ever exactly had opportunity to bluff her way into a government building under the circumstances of the galaxy in her time, and even if she had, she'd hardly have been the one anyone picked to send on that mission. (Don't think she didn't notice every time Corran cringed at her less than astral sense of social acumen.) If Anakin Solo had had little patience for politics, she had even less.

On the other hand, she had known Leia -- not this Leia -- for years, even if any governmental figures she'd spent any time around recently happened to be on the military side of the spectrum.

It gave her something to work off of, at least, as she went through the clothing racks.

This . . . was probably not a situation where a full suit of vonduun crab armor, an amphistaff, and a glower were going to get her very far. For one, the mere notion of trying to play a Yuuzhan Vong diplomat made her want to laugh hysterically and for another, she was far too short to pull off the imposing attitude necessary . . .
