Ethics [Tuesday, September 6, 2011, 1st period]

[sith_happened]

Today's class was taking place in the Danger Shop where there wasn't a desk to be found: only a cloudless day, a beating sun and apparent kilometers of oceans surrounding five small dingies that were neatly labeled with four or five students' names, or in one case, four students and one lemur.

Anakin's voice came over the speaker system: "Welcome to your first practical Ethics class. You've all been shipwrecked. In a moment, the dingy you're in will be the only thing you will see. There is no land for hundreds of kilometers, no fresh water, and you've run out of food. The only resources you have are the other people--or in one case, the people and lemur--you have in the boat. Will you turn to cannibalism? If so, who will be the first to go?"

Hope you weren't hungry for breakfast, class.

"Again, if you'd prefer not to participate in this class, shake your head strongly and you will be taken out of the simulation."

With that the students were apparently left to their own devices.

"Well, I'm pretty sure I'm not," Angelica said with a little laugh. "I'm just a mutant. Which some people think is a good thing, but most people think is bad. Back home I can't tell anybody what I am or what I can do."

"Yeah, we're not exactly allowed to tell people either. It's not like they'd believe us." Not with the Mist covering everything, anyway. "I think it's cool that you're a mutant. Even my dad can't fly without winged shoes, so you're one up on him there."

"I could never say something like that to his face!" Angelica protested, laughing more. "I'd probably be too busy cowering or something."
