Ethics (Thursday, September 7, 6th period)

If there was one thing Darth Vader excelled at, it was making a memorable first impression.

He waited until the classroom was full, then stalked in, cape flaring behind him.

He twitched his fingers as he reached the center of the room and the door slammed shut behind him.

"I am Darth Vader," he intoned over the even mechanized breathing of his suit. "I trust you have already heard of me." His masked face scanned the faces in front of him. If he was at all affected by the negative thoughts and emotions being directed at him, he wasn't showing it. "You will refer to me as either Darth Vader or Lord Vader. Any other address will result in detention." He began pacing the room. "You should be grateful for that. Very few have ever been granted advanced warning of my actions.

"Today we discuss how far over the line you would go to save someone you love." Vader's voice turned cold. "I don't want to hear that you wouldn't go over a line. Would you lie for someone? Steal for them? Kill for them? Does it matter to you if it's friend or family? Does how much you love--" and yes, the word sounded awkward coming from that particular visage, "--that person affect how far you would go for them?"

Vader crossed his arms over his chest and waited for the first student to speak.

"There is no line," Zero said flatly. "There can't be. If it's someone you love, you'll do whatever you have to." Then something occured to her. "But..."

"If you have to do something that means you don't love them any more, or they don't love you...what's the point?"

"Murder," Zero said. "Cold-blooded murder. Could I kill someone? I don't know, and I hope I never get put in a position to find out, but in cold blood? That's not me, and if I did that, even to save someone I love, then...I'm not me any more. And they wouldn't love the person that could do that."

Zero noticed the creaky gloves and kind of shrunk down in her seat, because this guy was scary. "Ifyousaysosir."
