"Morning," Hawkeye greeted everyone as they entered. He was wearing clothes, but they were obscured by his maroon bathrobe. He had a cup of coffee in his hand. "Professor Lyman's not back yet, so you're stuck with me. I won't subject you to what I think about the United States government, because chances are a lot has changed since my time. Today's project is an interactive one. Sign in and pick a state. Don't double up. You're now the Senator for that state. You've been elected by the people in your state to represent them on a national level. The issue of the day is that there's been a slump in the economy and we can't keep importing goods to save our collective tushes. The states have something that other states want. Interact with each other and, as representatives for your state, try to get as good a deal as you can out of your negotiations."

"I've got cars. What do you have to trade? And don't give me the bears. I'm stuck with the Detroit Lions."

"Ooh cars?" Duo asks hopefully. "I'm still pushin' these oranges and other fruit-related items."

"Hmmm. Illinois has chemicals!" John nods. "Wanna do some science experiments? I can export all kinds of nifty chemicals for some cars!"
