[Tactics of War] [Monday 6 p.m to 8 p.m.]

“I am Fifth” is written on the chalkboard.



He smiles cheerfully as each student files in and may or may not have a sensory overload when he sees the young teenage Sam Carter.

Once everyone is settled in and he’s composed himself, he begins –

“Your professor is away on business, I’m afraid, and you will be stuck with me for at least this class period and perhaps the next. My name is Fifth.” He smiles very widely and might bounce a little in place.

“On your desk is an iPod with four episodes of the television series “Wormhole X-Treme.” I would like you to pick one, watch it and write down three war tactics used by the characters.

Your choices are:

(1) Shades of Purple in which Colonel Danning quits the SGX to work with the nefarious Colonel Juneborne.
(2) Ergo in which our intrepid heroes have a mischievous consciousness downloaded into their brains to study them.
(3) Power Corrupts Absolutely in which Dr. Levant is seduced by the darkside.
(4) And my favorite - OMG WE ARE SUPERHEROES!! in which our heroes gain amazing superpowers.

If you have any questions, let me know.

Please keep in-class chatter to a minimum.

[[ooc: (1) Shades of Grey, (2) Urgo, (3) Absolute Power, (4) Upgrades. www.youtube.com AMAZES ME, omg. Check it out!!! And if you don’t want to watch, plz just handwave the assignment.]]

"Well, yes. I think it's supposed to show how the weight of the memory of the evil aliens means they can't be redeemed." Janet grinned back at Parker. "He really was, wasn't he?" she asked ruefully.

"Mmm-hmm. Forceful has its appeal, even if it's evil." Parker cocked her head. "Of course, in real life, I'd try to kick his ass. Still. Fun to watch." She shook her head. "Although I don't get the memories being there, but what the hell. Science fiction, right?" She grinned at Janet.

"In real life, I expect he'd have been sedated and given a psychological examination long before he declared war on Russia," said Janet firmly. She grinned at Parker. "It's a plot device. Because, really, how is a human going to get alien memories otherwise?"

Because she sure as hell wasn't going to be explaining the concept of how it could happen.
