Ethics [Thursday, March 8, 2012, 1st period]

When Anakin swept into the classroom this morning, he was accompanied by a half dozen droid babies, all holding little stuffed Ewoks and glancing around the classroom with curious, if slightly dead, eyes.

"It's that time of year again," Anakin said, not even trying to hide his glee. "Ethics in practice. It's easy to decide on a code of action that you think will define your life--it's much different to enforce that on a small, sentient being. Thus the droid babies. For the next week, you and a partner--except for you, Miss McGill, and I apologize for that--will be parents to these droid babies. They are approximately six months old, and are crawling and able to understand--" if not exactly respond correctly to, "--the word no. You must be constantly vigilent to make sure they are well-fed, clean, sleeping correctly and not putting electronics in their mouths."

Anakin would never understand human babies' obsessions with chewing on wires.

"Oh, and there will be one more assignment this week. There will be an NPC a photographer next Monday to take you and your droid child's photograph, just to be absolutely sure that you haven't foisted your assignment off onto your partner and to give you the opportunity to take your droid into unfamiliar circumstances."

And because he and Jaye shouldn't be allowed to talk to each other. "Listen for your names and come pick up your assignment."

"Yeah, but parents...like, when they're together, I guess...live so they can both take care of a kid at the same time or whatever," Alex said slowly. He wasn't sure he was expressing this right. He'd been an only child and not that popular with the other kids even before everything went to hell. "And I already have a roommate."

"I know. Me too." Gabrielle didn't sigh, but she did look slightly worried. "We'll just have to work out some kind of schedule, I guess. And try and take that as an object lesson of some kind."

Some kind. She hadn't figured out what kind yet.
