How to Make Friends and Influence People [Tuesday, March 4, 2014]

A ridiculously tanned Anakin stood in front of the class today with an easy smile on his face. "Hopefully you all enjoyed your vacations as much as I did."

Hot weather and the water were never going to be anything but a magical combination for Anakin.

"But back to work today," he concluded as the Danger Shop filled with big eyed lemurs Lurmen. "Meet the Lurmen--a race of pacifists native to my galaxy. Their homeworld has been invaded by an occupying force. You are there with the class and the Lurmen are absolutely refusing to fight back. The nearest army to help defend the Lurmen are a two day flight away: what should we do?"

Anakin smiled ruefully. "And you can't ask me. During this particular mission, I was fighting off a fairly massive concussion."

Joker shrugged. "I don't know how things work in Professor Skywalker's universe, no... but there's a decent chance I'll be able to figure it out. And once I do... well, our problems are solved."

"Unless they brought an armada?"

Elsa was a spoilsport sometimes. Sorry, Joker.

Joker considered that. "How big of an armada?" Because, you know, best damn pilot in the history of ever.*

* Will be. Once he's been trained.

"The sort of armada you bring with you when you're looking to take over an entire planet," Elsa replied.

An entire planet of pacifists, sure, but still. Planets were pretty big.

Joker blinked at her. "Dammit! I hate it that you're right!" He looked around. "We're not talking a colony world, with one city and a bunch of empty, are we? They'd need an insane number of ground troops if they wanted to make this a land war, which means a bunch of huge-ass ships in orbit, which means we're screwed."

"Professor Skywalker said that this was the Lurmen's homeworld," Elsa confirmed, sighing. "Not a colony, a planet that they've called home from the very start. They might be pacifists, but still, the numbers that would be needed to overthrow them all with any sort of speed or efficiency..."

She frowned a little.

"We might need to put our negotiation skills to the test, as much as I'd like to make off with one of the enemy's ships..."
