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 gave him a puzzled look. "Uhhhhhh... Just what did you think I was going to do with the ships?"

Victor shrugged. "Get the Lurmen onto them and away from the guys trying to take over their planet?" he suggested. "I dunno, man. I'm just saying, if the Lurmen think we're as bad as the invaders they might sabotage anything we try. We shouldn't draw first blood."

Joker weighed that. "...Oh. Yeah, okay, that's a good plan, too. I was thinking more along the lines of turning the ship's weapons on their camp before they had time to react. Wars aren't won by being nice, you know?"
