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."

"I never thought I'd be a teenage father," Dave said, staring at the baby like it might explode. "Especially not just because I took a class."

Stacey didn't have a problem with the assignment at all. She thought it was sad that she had to be a single mom for a week, and this was going to put a big crimp in her social life, but she was sure she could handle it.

What could go wrong?

Sam might've already been thinking of how she could get the droid baby to make penny tees and eat dog food.

This kid might be doomed.

The last time Gabrielle had had a kid, it hadn't gone so well.

. . . um. This droid baby wasn't evil, was it?

Gabrielle was not bitching, no, but she'd let you bitch at her about it if you wanted to.

"It wasn't in my plans either," Kate assured him, similarly not looking like she was intending to go touching it any time soon.

"I know nothing about babies."

"Yeah, me either. What about droids? Any experience there?" Dave asked hopefully. He had no clue if that might help, but it kind of make sense that it could.

Lots of qualifiers there, yes.
