Anakin ushered the students into a bland conference room. "Today you will be negotiating for peace with an alien species," he said. "They have brought you here," he gestured around at the table, chairs, water glasses, and whiteboard against the wall, "to plead their case as to why they had no choice but to blocade another planet's trading routes."

He rolled his eyes. "There will be a powerpoint presentation about it. Nothing I can do to save you. So...sit down and prepare not to fall asleep in public. They'd take that badly."

Find a seat!

[sith_happened]

That's its own set of negotiating, isn't it? Too close to the presentation and they'll make the dreaded Eye Contact, too far away and you might actually nod off, but if they ask you questions, you're screwed...

Pick a spot and explain why!

They're taking forever to come in, anyway. Must be a weird power move.

Lana picked a seat close to the door, with her back against the wall.

"I'm choosing this seat because I've been in this class long enough to know it won't be that simple," she said.

AMMMMMBUSH

Turns out that the door has been locked and gas is now being pumped (loudly) into the room.

Good thing you had that day of training, right? Get out of the room and fight off the droids who can't shoot straight! They'll try to stop you from getting back to your diplomatic ship where you can write a very sternly worded note about your treatment.

Lana found the vent that was pumping the gas in (honestly, who was so stupid as to make it audible?), then picked up a chair, used the Force to tear an appropriately-sized piece from it, and pushed it in, stopping it up.

"Right. Who wants to kill whoever's trying to kill us?"

Talk to Anakin!

Did he have popcorn? Why yes, yes he did.
