"In the course of your job as a diplomat, your boss, country, organization, or planet your representing will absolutely do or say something mind-bogglingly stupid," Anakin said, "and someone will ask for your opinion on it."

He glanced around the room. "And you are not allowed to say 'well, that was mind-bogglingly stupid.'" He smiled. It wasn't a very nice smile. "Your job today is to come up with what you would say if, for instance, you arrive at a meeting to discover that the leader of your organization/planet, or whatever, has been caught kicking puppies for fun, was President of a secret puppy-kicking society, and there is holo footage of it."

Well, Lana might not care because Sith, but that should give the rest of the class something to chew on.

"Founded by Hutts to preside over and watch, so that they can kick puppies vicariously through their club members," Vette agreed. "I could absolutely spin it as a public service. Kicking puppies for the sake of pacifying the Hutt Cartel, so that they don't kill us all."

Anakin grinned. "It just might work, too."

Stupid Hutts.

Vette nodded solemnly.

"It's an unsavory business, but somebody has to do it, for the greater good."
