fandomhigh | Tactics of War [Monday Evening]

Before I begin, I would like to say that I'm impressed with the ingenuity of those who were involved in the attack on Friday. I know little of the details, but if anyone would like to give me a full account, I would be happy to award you with extra credit for this course.

Also, Cameron Mitchell? Please see me after class, thank you.

Now, I had a long and boring lecture planned for you today (in which, of course, I expected you to plot my doom, as it would be an excellent sign of success for you as my students learning the tactics of war as one of my long term goals is to ultimately destroy this planet -- *laughter* Oh, I'm just kidding) but last night I saw this film that I vaguely remember seeing from the early 90's and I wish for you to see it and to write down three shockingly irritating tactics of either the locust-like aliens or the ridiculously stupid Americans.

Being both a commander of an invading force and ex-American military, I have GREAT irritation at this film and feel that it is a wonderful learning tool in how NOT to proceed on either (a) invasion or (b) countering such a genocidal attack.

She looks over at Aeryn and smiles.

And Miss Sun, I particularly look forward to your rather inspired point of view.

Now, please, sit quietly and watch.

Pip leaned over to whisper to Alanna. "Hey. I'd just like to apologize for my behavior on Saturday. I was a total ass and I had no right doing what I did."

Alanna tried to remember what happened on Saturday. Except drinking. "Um, remind me again?" She tried to tuck in a strand of hair behind her ear with her right hand, forgetting why that wasn't a good idea.

Pip grimaced. "The thing, where I came in. Sang the song about you guys being idiots. I didn't actually intend to sing the song, but I had no right to barge in there and tell you guys were all idiots in the first place. I'm sorry."

"Right!" Alanna tucked the cast back underneath her sweater, nervously tugging it down. "Thanks for apologizing, um, yeah you're right, you had no right."

Pip nodded. "No, I didn't. Still need help with the movie?"

"What the hell is going on?" Alanna summarized her thoughts.

"Alright, near as I can figure, those aliens are kind of like locusts or bacteria. They go from planet to planet and use up their resources. And they're destroying the cities one by one with their giant super weapon and stopping our weapons with a shield. They've got a really weird plan involving destroying their shields with a virus. And... it works. Somehow."

Alanna continued blinking.
