Diplomacy, Relationships & Tactics: the Art of War [Tuesday, Period 1]
When the students arrived, they would find that Ghanima had provided moddable treats from JGoB and the Perk, all of which were piled on tables against the back wall of the classroom. None with marshmallows, of course, in deference to Arden's allergy.
"Welcome back," Ghanima said brightly, as Trebor squealed his agreement, waving his tiny fists in the air. "You've managed to make it all the way to the last class, and hopefully you even picked up a thing or two along the way. We've made it all the way through Tzu's Art of War, so today you'll get a bit of a break on the note-taking aspect of class."
"Last week, I asked to uncover some tidbit of information to which you would not normally be privy, either via another spy or by doing the digging yourself. You will not need to share exactly what you learned, if that makes you uncomfortable, merely the method used to discover the information. I am curious to find out how your foray into intelligence gathering went. How do you feel about it? Is this information something you could use to your benefit? Would you?"
After the students had recounted theirpossibly handwavey exploits, Ghanima nodded thoughtfully. "To some, the ethics of spying are rather straight forward. To others, it holds infinite shades of gray." She smiled brightly at the students, Trebor continuing to babble along in agreement. "To yet more, it simply is, ethics be dammed. I will admit to being in the latter category, and quite happily."
"So now I am going to ask you to indulge my curiosity one last time. I'd like each of you to tell me what you learned this semester. It can be something about class, something about yourself, something about your own ethical outlook, it doesn't matter, so long as you have learned something. In return, feel free to ask me any question you like. I will do my level best to answer you honestly."
