Civics - Art of Civil Disobedience Monday 4th Period - FINAL EXAM

[biotic_psychotic]

Jack was still not in the best of moods but it was more under control this morning than it had been last Monday. She waited for the kids to file in and then said, "Welcome to your final exam. Like I told you last week, you're expected to give some sort of presentation."

She shrugged and asked, "Who wants to go first? If someone doesn't step forward, I'll pick someone at random."

Vette shrugged. Sure. She stood up.

"I'm a Twi'lek," she said, simply. "I was raised a slave, liberated from slavery, and I've had to make my way since. I've been living this assignment already, when I'm not here. If you want some great game plan for changing the galaxy, I'm not the one to ask. I raid private collections for artifacts stolen from my people, to return them to Ryloth. I get in close to anyone who's been committing crimes against us, and either I rob them blind or I kill them."

And she had no regrets about either. No remorse in the least.

"I get caught, I get out. If I don't get out, I'll get collared again or I'll be executed, those are my options. Where I'm from, there aren't resources for people like us. None that we don't make for ourselves, not in a galaxy with an Empire that spits on filthy aliens and a Republic that claims to care about slaves while turning away refugees at their doorstep. We don't need either of them."

And that was that. She shrugged, and then she sat.

Jack shrugged, "So tell me what you got out of this class. Was there anything you learned that you're going to take back with you when you get home and back to it? That's the point of the exam, to show what you learned here."

Vette hesitated a moment.

"Is it totally missing the point of the class if I end up using any of it in order to annoy Imperial authorities as much as I possibly can?"

Important questions, people.

"If those are the dicks who'd put a collar on you, then no. I'd say that's using the knowledge you gained in this class to good purpose," Jack told her.

"Well, then they're gonna love it when I ask for a lawyer," Vette mused. "Assuming they can get me to say anything at all."

She put on a perfectly innocent expression.

"But officer, have I committed a crime?"

The answer would always be yes, of course, but that was hardly going to stop her.
