Ethics Class [Thursday, March 10, 1st period]

[sith_happened]

The students would find themselves in the Danger Shop again, in a climate even less appealing than the stinky ship of the previous week.

"Welcome to Nar Shaddaa," Anakin said, looking around with a slight wrinkle to his nose, "otherwise known as the Smuggler's Moon. This is where I ended up after I ran away from my master on Krayn's ship with the idea of rescuing the slaves. Obi-Wan escaped, and I was enslaved--again--and spent months underground here processing spice in the dark. I felt abandoned by the Jedi, by my master in particular, and grew very, very angry. My questions to you are threefold: how did you make the decision on the ship to either follow Obi-Wan or cut loose on your own, how would you react if you spent months enslaved on a moon and finally managed to get your hands on a weapon, and what do you think I did? "

"Nobody deserves to be left behind as a slave if you can help it," said Dolf, who'd been smouldering with a kind of low-level rage since the topic came up.

Someone had massive slavery issues.

Well he was certainly in the right class to address that.

"Oh, I agree," Anakin said, "but the logistics aboard the ship made it very difficult to fix the situation at the time. What would you have done differently?"

And here was Dolf, who had once gotten a dozen kids killed because he'd insisted on standing up against a Lord who wanted some slaves in return for passage. And who had promptly learned... absolutely nothing, breaking into the Lord's castle to break out the slaves, come hell or high water.

Yes, that Dolf.

"Find out if there was a way to take over the ship," he said, stubbornly, "Or if there was something they feared we could use. Sit down, plan, don't let them get away with it."

To be fair, friends and sheer dumb luck kind of tended to work in his favour nine times out of ten...

A part of Anakin was astounded that he was now taking the position Obi-Wan did all of those years ago. He hated being the voice of reason. It didn't fit him well.

"And then we would have had a ship full of slaves and no one to fly it. Plus the slavers. Or did you have a plan for them as well?"

... And maybe Dolf would have been better off if he'd had his own Obi-Wan earlier than this, instead of a snarky Italian mathematician with a very large club and a tendency to make fun of him after the fact.

"Lock them up," he suggested, "And we could make whoever was flying it keep flying it."

"And if they say no?" Anakin replied.
