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."

"Not a clue," she said, laying her head on the desk. "Man, I suck at this. And to answer honestly? I'm pretty sure he's going to forget."

"Maybe someone needs to drop a pink-and-red anvil on his head?" Bridge suggests with a laugh.

"Oh, would you?" Sam looked up and brightened. "That'd be really helpful."

"You want literal or metaphorical?"

She grinned, a bit evilly. "Can we start with metaphorical and move on from there?"

Bridge grinned back. "That I can totally do."
