If you thought a little thing like weeks of unrelenting trauma was going to stop your final exam, you didn't know Anakin very well. He at least look vaguely sorry about it between texts on his comlink (that was only half to avoid talking to Obi-Wan).

Smooth, Anakin. Very smooth.

It was Obi-Wan who cleared his throat and began speaking after the exams had been distributed. "It is traditional for this class to end in a written exam," he said. "No choice listed on these sheets is wrong--" though he and Anakin might disagree about which ones were least wrong, ahem, "--as we are primarily interested in your reasoning. Please be thorough."

"And legible," Anakin added. He coughed. "And if anyone feels the need to talk about this weekend, or last, for that matter, we're around after class."

C - I hate this option only marginally less than the other two. I understand that the risk is great in every situation. But I want to make it clear that, with this many lives at risk, I'm not refraining from torture for her sake alone. She could very well lie just to get the torture to stop. Even worse, she could send people off even farther from the targeted areas out of spite. Better to continue to try to reason with somebody who has less valid reason to actively loathe us, and then make certain she sees proper justice, whatever it might be, when the situation is resolved.
