Tactics of War [Monday Evening]

[replicarter.livejournal.com]

Irritated to leave her prisoner behind, Eighth certainly looks distracted as she walks into class late. After passing the sign in sheet around, she eyes them all carefully.

"Surprise, sweethearts. Pop Quiz." And she passes it out with a small, secret smile.

You've captured the child of a warlord from a distant galaxy and have learned all about his world, his technology and his military forces – albeit from a child's perspective. You, of course, have a superior fighting force and you are great need of the superior technology of this distant galaxy. This particular far-off civilization has previously been ravaged by a similar army to your own and should be somewhat prepared. However, that previous invading force COULD see your army as invading their territory and that you are attacking their personal enemies and would be affronted and therefore attack you back. (A) Should you attack? (B) Should you collect more information?

"After you finish your pop quiz, please read the following document. Being able to openly state your intentions and deceiving the other party is a skill for every tactician, as well as being able to tell little white lies that cover up exactly what you are up to.

Pair up and roleplay, as it where, a little disinformation yourself. Try to find out your partner's Valentine's Day plans while spinning your own tale of deception.

Oh -- I'm afraid I will need to speak to you again, Mr. Mitchell. See me after class for real this time."

Alanna tried her best to vanish into her chair.

And really, since everyone probably knows a large part of what Aeryn's going to be doing on Valentine's Day, she just shrugs and says, "I'm recreating the Valentine's Day massacre at the bank. You?"

"Sneaking home to my world to spend time with my boy." Alanna replied, without any emotion.

"Have fun with that," she says, because she's wonderful at conversations like this normally. "Where's your world?"

[Of course it's bedtime...]

"Um, a few dimensions over. How are you planning on recreating the massacre?"
