Tactics of War [Monday, 6 p.m. to 8 p.m.]

[replicarter.livejournal.com]

Eighth strode into class, wrote the assignment on the board, stationed a few replicators to watch the students, and sat her desk, motionless as she sekritly communed with her agitated brethren who were warring on a far away galaxy.



Please look over your handout from last time, pair up or make groups of three or four – as you wish – and share with your classmates your three favorite war tactics. I will be recording your conversations, no need to turn anything in. If you have any questions, speak to your TA, Callisto. If you need me for any particular reason, however, I will be available after class for questions.

[[They’re keeping me riiiiiiiiiiidiculously late at work today (woe), I apologize for the lateness of this post and the lack of awesome it entails.]]

"I'll believe it," Pip said. "Though my friend recently got his ass handed to him by the man who is now his tutor. Though I guess my friend isn't exactly a beginner."

A replicator scampered under Pip's desk, crawling towards Sam's crutches.

Sam noticed the replicator, and tried to unobtrusively slam the base of her crutch down on top of it as hard as she could, like it was a cockroach.

The replicator screeches as not-Her attacks so brutally. Perhaps eating those large metal things is not the best idea. It scampers away, whirring angrily at being slightly crumpled.

Ivanova glanced under the desk at the screech. "What the heck was that?"

Sam felt strangely triumphant for someone who had just beat up a small metallic alien lifeform.

Pip coughs. "So, tactics?"

"Right, tactics." Sam stretched out her leg. "If we're overwhelmed, I'd have to actually start with negotiation, unless there's a lot of firepower to spare."
