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."

James knew the secret: act somewhere between someone you did not want to interrupt but not so important that you would be challenged as he marched up to --and intending to go right past--the guards.

One of these times, James would not pick the professor as an adversary. Once.

"Don't you have something better on your plate than to bother people going about their business?" James asked in a voice that was neutral.

James stopped, cold. "Really? what do you do when you get off work? Or before tucking in at night?" He tilted his head, as if wondering what a day like that might be.

James looked in front of him. Behind him. To the sides. "There's a line?" he asked, looking abashed that he was inconveniencing sooo many people.

James turned to leave, wondering if there was a way past this entrance; perhaps he could climb up a story or two.
