Advanced Criminal Justice, Class 16: Quiz 2, Period 1, 03.01.06

[OOC: Same story as usual with quizzes: get it done by the next class. And, hey, the next class is a week and a half away. Slowplay yay. Oh, and no, I don't expect "Talk to Professor Tick" as an answer to #1. I personally think that should be Step 5. And I know how to spell "should." It has a "u." Shut up. Class Info Post.]

The Tick was at the front of the class holding some paper.

"Hello, class! If you'll look at the front of the room, you'll see your midterm an essay grades posted ~~except not just yet in terms of the midterm grades~~. Very good work by most of you. Others amongst you are being hurt by spotty attendance. Please nip that problem in the bud, chums!"

"Anyway, today we're having a pop quiz. It hopefully won't take you the full period to get through, so you can have some time to yourselves heading into break."

"For those of you going away next week, I wish you safe passage and a good time! For those of you sticking around, I wish you a lack of invading monsters."

"And, Logan? I understand you're doing your makeup assignment tomorrow, correct? Have fun with that!"

"Okay, class, get to work!"

1. If you were planning on making a vigilante strike against the forces of evil, what would be the first two steps of your plan? Please assume this to be a general plan that can be used in a variety of situations.

2. Please describe how you would serve Justice when equipped with a team of any four of the following animals: a stickbug, a seahorse, a puffin, a puppy, a tiny elephant, a meerkat, a marmoset, and a giraffe.

3. Write a metaphor about the Camera of Justice.

EC. Answer #2 with 6 animals for 1 EC point. All 8 animals will earn you +2 EC.

The posting of the grades. Midterm grades will be up here within the next couple days.

You have over a week to do so. Take your time!

At least it's not relating to anything Aeryn might have missed. Also, it keeps her from having to actually participate.

1. Make sure everyone involved knows what the frell they're doing.
Turn it over to someone else.

2. ~~I don't even know what half those things are.~~
Make Professor Skeeter turn them back into people.

3. The camera of justice takes pictures.

Probably not her best quiz.

Janet hasn't listened to the radio lately--sticky hands--and so she does a double-take when she sees Aeryn in class. She smiles and waves before she takes her quiz.

Aeryn gives a little nod back, then concentrates on her test.

1. ~~First. Tell the damn animals to shut up.~~
First. Tell Mr. Professor The Tick, or another adult I trust. Because seriously. You don't want me doing anything with this. Worlds would end.
Second. Depending on what kind of evil it is, I might just try popping their bubbles. Not dirty.

2. The stickbugs are definitely for throwing. The puffin would make people go "awwww!" and be distracting. A seahorse might scare more easily freaked weirdos, a meerkat would might distract in that people might randomly burst out into songs from The Tiger Prince. A giraffe (large) is tall and intimidating, or (small) cute and awwww-inducing. Marmosets get into everything, so they can do the dirty work, and a tiny elephant can be used in a "hey, cooperate or I do something bad, just look what I did to this elephant!" sort of way. And depending on what kind of puppy, maybe they could bite them. The puppy biting. Not the puppy getting bitten. That would just be wrong.

3. Justice is a camera, taking snapshots of society. Sometimes you end up with a clear, perfect picture, and other times you end up with something overdeveloped and crappy, with someone's thumb on part of the lens cap.

1. Step One - Gather as much information as you can about the target. Knowledge is power.
Step Two - See Step One.

2. Ask Rory for photos. ~~Give photos to Aeryn Sun, then point her at Professor Skeeter.~~ Use photos as unbeatable force of cuteness.

3. Always on the lookout for evil do-ers, the Camera of Justice needs neither film nor batteries in it's unceasing vigil.

First step: Find a group of people experienced in vigilante work and a good support team. Second, determine the situation that the forces of evil are engaged in and the best way that the vigilante team can be utilitzed to undermine the forces of evil while support coordinates things from behind-the-scenes. In other words, do they neutralize the enemy, the minions, or the base of operations first?

Any semblance of form to study group may not be exactly coincidental. Oops.

2. Could I just have four tiny elephants to stampede over Injustice? Though I think the puppy would be able to stop criminals simply with the force of its cuteness. And the stickbug would make criminals stare long enough that the police could catch them. Um. Giraffes?

3. The Camera of Justice is--

Janet could do better if she were able to write a metaphor about the Film Development of Justice. Oh, wait, Polaroids.

3. The Camera of Justice is a Polaroid, which slowly develops the picture and Justice is sometimes developed the same way. Because the court system moves slowly.

EC. Stickbug - Throw it at a criminal and hope to catch him in the eye. Seahorse - Might be useful if the criminal is underwater? Puffin - Can chase down criminals in arctic climates. Puppy - See above re cute. Also, guard puppy? Vladdie could fly in circles around them until they get dizzy and fall down. Tiny elephant - Could squirt them with water. Meerkat - Dress in a hula outfit and dance at the criminals? ~~I've seen The Lion King one too many times, OMG.~~ Marmoset - Bites criminals in the ankles until they stop. Giraffe - Gets the really tall criminals out of trees. Somehow, all of these combine into a multi-environment crimefighting animal team. Or something.

1. Step the First: Determine who among the crew are trustworthy and reliable for such an operation.
Step the Second: Set the chosen crewmembers to gathering as much intelligence as humanly (or inhumanly, given that this is Fandom) possible before mounting an attack.

2. With a puffin, a puppy, a marmoset, and a seahorse I would reform the most hardened of criminals by subjecting them to an unrelenting display of "cuteness," as they say. Also, I would dearly hope that all four of them are not, in fact, John Crichton, because were they to change back into human form all my efforts would be lost.

3. The camera of Justice does camera-like things that I could better detail if I understood cameras.

1. First, I would do a bit of research on the subject -- their powers, defenses, location, ~~security systems~~, ~~armed guards~~, etc. Second, I would assess my own strengths in terms of my team members' abilities and how they might be used against the evil's weaknesses.

2. First I would use the puppy to distract any Evildoers, because not even Evil can resist Teh Cute of a puppy. I would use the meerkat as a lookout, always attentive to the cause of Justice. The giraffe would also make a good look-out. In fact, I'd put the meerkat on the giraffe's head, and have a team that could spot Evil coming from miles and miles away.

Then I'd use the tiny elephant as my secret weapon ~~to fight inflation~~ to intimidate and/or subdue any evildoers.

3. The Camera of Justice is a Polaroid, recording the Images of Truth Quickly and Developing them as a Superhero waits. It is neither an old film camera which would require Justice to wait weeks for Processing, allowing the Innocent to wait in jail and the Guilty to escape. Nor is it a digital camera that can be easily manipulated by the Computer of Subjectivity into showing whatever you want it to.

~~Apparently Vala's been studying the history of photography. Shut up!~~

EC.
Along with my lookout team of a meerkat on a giraffe's head, the distraction factor of the ~~zomg!cute~~ puppy, and the secret, yet powerful weapon of the tiny elephant, I would use the marmoset as an extra set of back-up hands, to assist the superhero as a handy primate sidekick.

In the criminal justice system, ocean-based offenses are considered especially heinous. In my metaphor, the dedicated seahorses who investigate these watery felonies are members of an elite squad known as the Extra Credit Unit. These are their stories. *Chung!Chung!*

Since puffins can't fly ~~worth a damn~~ and insect crimes are actually quite rare ~~and difficult to prosecute~~, I would use the puffin and the stickbug as valiant ~~and expendable~~ missiles with which to bring down recalcitrant evildoers!

Vala looked smug when handing in her quiz.

1. Reconsider: is there some other way of dealing with this? Is there a government agency, covert or overt, who are likely to be taking action before I am? If the answers are no, then reconnaisance. Find out all you can about their lives, their security, their abilities, their reactions.

2. A stickbug can be thrown at evildoers. Many fear stickbugs. A puffin can be used to distract them, because they are desperately cute. A puppy-- well, either the cute thing, or the ability to make a mess within moments, in order to trip up or gross out evildoers. A tiny elephant is even cuter than a puffin, but can also haul away evidence and small objects from the scene of a crime. Meerkats can be rigged with video cameras, and trained to go into a building to surveille potential evildoers. And a large giraffe is an excellent way to start a traffic jam, thwarting the evildoers' escape. [6 animals; 1EC point possible if given credit]

3. The Camera of Justice takes snapshots of the world as it is: the good who attempt to live within the freeze-frame the law and consideration of others, the bad who attempt to duck out of the range of the shot, and the gray, who are doing things you can't quite make out in the blurred background. Justice puts them all in perspective, so you can see whre they are in relation to each other, and realize that at any one moment, whoever is taking the picture is putting their own interpretation on Justice.

1. If you were planning on making a vigilante strike against the forces of evil, what would be the first two steps of your plan? Please assume this to be a general plan that can be used in a variety of situations.

Step 1: Gather information
Step 2: Get high tech gadgets

2. Please describe how you would serve Justice when equipped with a team of any four of the following animals: a stickbug, a seahorse, a puffin, a puppy, a tiny elephant, a meerkat, a marmoset, and a giraffe.

I would use all of the animals as distractions until I could call the authorities or serve justice myself. Most people think puppies are adorable and will stop and squeal over them. Tiny elephants aren't often seen. Neither are meerkats, marmosets, puffins, stickbugs or seahorses. So their presence could confuse the evil doer.

And giraffes? Giraffes are good for reaching high places?

3. Write a metaphor about the Camera of Justice.

The camera of justice will always catch you at your worst, when you've got food in your mouth, your hair sticking up or you're making that really weird face.

1. Find out which forces of evil I was fighting against this time because boy howdy do you not want to be bringing silver weapons to a vampire game if you know what I'm saying. Then ~~profit~~ weapons. Or research. Depends on the situation.

2. Griaffe's on reconnaisance, obviously. Elephant remembers all the secret passwords, plus you can put it in your pocket which is going to feel weird but come in handy if somebody's checking to see if you know the right password to get in somewhere. Puffin's going to be helping out with sending messages back to the team at home, though you really have to motivate it to make it stay on course because they are not as cooperative as pigeons on that front. Mostly due to complaints about pay scale. And the puppy is to welcome you home and congratulate you on a job well done.

3. The camera of justice is a good thing because it adds ten pounds to any justice situation, thus making sure that justice is always bigger than evil. Unless it takes a picture of evil too in which case you're back on a level playing field.

1. First: If it involved more than 1/4 of the class in ACJ, I'd have to talk to Professor Tick in order for him to try and talk me out of it. Second: Find the highest point available above the target and use a long range weapon to rain down death justice from above.

2. I would form a team of super heroes dedicated to justice with amazing weapons and martial art skills. Quite possibly all these heroes with bed teenagers with an attitude and I would give them robot vehicles in the shape of these animals to fight against tyranny in all shapes and forms.

3. The Camera of Justice represents the police force. They are ever vigilant and watchful for crime. However the camer of justice cannot work alone. It must have the auto-focuser of the Judicial branch and the one hour photomart of the penal system for it to be truly effective.

EC. Answer #2 with 6 animals for 1 EC point. All 8 animals will earn you +2 EC.

1. Gather as much intel of the enemy force as possible.
Find the most effective plan to infiltrate thanks to the first step and play into my troop's strengths.

2. The stickbugs would be used to spy on the criminals, thanks to its mad hiding skills, no one would notice that they're being bugged. Seahorses would be used as innocent reconnaissance if the crime happened underwater. The puffin and the puppy I would use together. They might seem harmless, but that's exactly why they could be used to get close to the criminal and cause a distraction while the tiny elephant uses its trunk to steal their weapons. The meerkat would then take the knife or gun and run off to it. If the criminal is following him, he'd give it over to the marmoset who would climb on top of the giraffe and keep the weapons away from the criminal. In the meantime I'd get the time to alert the authorities.

3. The Camera of Justice is black and white. It takes snapshots of our society and translates the colourful scenes into a monochrome picture that is easier to understand in trial. While it looks artistic, we shouldn't forget that the real scene was far more complicated.

1. My first step would be to determine that the forces of evil could not be defeated with any conventional forms of justice. My second step would be to recruit trustworthy and powerful heroes to help me in my mission.

2. I would spy over the walls of the criminal empire with the giraffe, distract the guardians of evil with the cuteness of a puppy, a meerkat and a marmoset and then poke the main bad guy with a stickbug. And I'd have the tiny elephant watch everything so if things went badly, it would remember for the next time.

3. The camera of Justice adds ten pounds of shackles to all criminals caught in its viewfinder.

1:

Evaluate the strengths and weaknesses of my opponent as well as my own.
If possible, scout out the area in which the strike will take place.

2:

I would create a set of morphers that draw their power from the spirits of the stickbug, seahorse, puffin, puppy, tiny elephant, meerkat, marmoset, and giraffe. Collectively, they would be known as ~~the John Crichton Rangers~~ Cute Force. Although the Rangers would be formidable fighters, it is the inherent cuteness of their power animals that will serve as their main weapon against the forces of Evil in the universe.

3:

The Camera of Justice, constructed with the right technology, can provide an efficient and cost-effective way of capturing and incarcerating criminals.

Accompanying this answer is a sketch of a capture card (http://pics.livejournal.com/bridge_carson/pic/0000rgzc/g2).

1. If you were planning on making a vigilante strike against the forces of evil, what would be the first two steps of your plan? Please assume this to be a general plan that can be used in a variety of situations.

Determine the target's weaknesses. Then, figure out how to best exploit them tactically.

2. Please describe how you would serve Justice when equipped with a team of any four of the following animals: a stickbug, a seahorse, a puffin, a puppy, a tiny elephant, a meerkat, a marmoset, and a giraffe.

I would use the puppy, tiny elephant, and giraffe as herding animals to guide the villains to jail, since any villain would be too confused by the maneuver to try to escape before he got to the prison. The stickbug, of course, would be the bad cop and ask the hard questions.

3. Write a metaphor about the Camera of Justice.

The flash of the Camera of Justice is blinding and makes you see Spots of Iniquity if you look straight into the Lens of Judgment in the dark.

Okay, so it's not her best work.

If you haven't turned in the metaphor and/or EC from Tuesday (http://community.livejournal.com/fandomhigh/681015.html).

If you're lingering after taking the quiz, here's the place to talk in the room. Also for a sekrit visitor omg.

Angel handed his quiz in ~~which he would actually do later, ZOMG~~ and rubbed his face tiredly. He was so not awake yet.

As the class was ending, Jack entered the classroom. "I have a delivery for a Mr. Logan Echolls," he said.

"Okay," Tick said, giving the stranger a suspicious look (because that's what you do when a stranger enters your classroom). But the guy didn't seem to be any trouble, so... "Logan? Delivery for you."

Logan was halfway out the door. "Hm? What?"

Jack walks over to Logan and gives him this basket (http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a217/FandomRoase/Gifts/chocolateindulgence.jpg).

The attached card reads:

Happy Birthday!

I'm sorry I can't spend tonight with you because of work, but don't you dare make plans for tomorrow!

Love, Veronica

Aeryn's still here because she needs to talk to the Tick, but she's not initiating any conversation.

If you'd like to talk to Tick in a less crowded room. Mainly for Aeryn.

After class, Aeryn lingers behind. "I reenrolled yesterday," she says. "I was told I could arrange some sort of makeup work to catch up?"

"Well, you missed an essay that you should probably make up," Tick said as he found a copy of the assignment sheet and handed it to her (http://community.livejournal.com/fandomhigh/618874.html?thread=29421690#t29421690). "To make up for the missed discussions, I suppose you could just add 25-50 words to the essay. Give it to Rory by two weeks from today. That's the first Thursday after break. Sound good?"

"I'm glad to have you back in class, Aeryn."

"Thank you, sir," she says automatically.

And figures she should stop tacking that word onto everything.

I can't be this OCD without putting up an OOC thread omg.

Sweet merciful crap, why am I still awake?

Have you finished your papers yet?

...I'm half done?

Get back to work omg!

Yessir Mr Tick sir!

*salutes*

*starts on Essay number four*

Hmmm...some of those animals for question #3 look strikingly familiar...

Question 2.

And it'll be a shock to find out who wrote that question, I bet.

Question 2, yes right. I totally meant to say that. Shut up!

Also, SHE MOCKS MY ANIMALAGE!

*whistles innocently*
