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.

You mind having a certain talking cat in a bag in class? He probably won't come out, but just in case, I check in advance.

"Lie. Steal. Cheat," Rory answered immediately, her voice low and cold, but surprisingly steady. "I'm not sure about killing. It's never come up. In theory if someone I loved deeply was in danger, I'd do everything within my power to save them. And after the fact, if I couldn't save them, I'd do everything I could to make whoever hurt them suffer."

Alanna considered the question for a very long moment. "I would kill for someone I loved. I have killed for someone I loved." She corrected herself.

"I don't know. I know that if someone harmed someone I really, truly loved with everything in me," and that was when Rory's voice went from cold to icy, "I would want to hurt them. Badly. I think I might regret the loss of my innocence, maybe. Regret making them pay? I'm thinking no, at the moment."

Alanna considered this. "Yes. Not for the same person though. Or maybe...I would kill to protect this person again, yes. But it wouldn't be for love."

"There's a line?" Seely asked.

Rory was sitting in class with an unusual expression. Normally, Rory was pretty happy-looking in class - it was her natural environment, after all.

Not today. Her expression was probably described as "pissed off" at best. And that was being generous.

She wasn't even taking notes.

"I found out recently that someone I loved very much was murdered. I want his killer to pay," she replied evenly. "Sir."

In spite of how calm she sounded, it probably wasn't hard to tell that Rory hated her Ethics teacher with every ounce of her being. She wasn't gifted at concealing that sort of thing.

Alanna considered this. "Maybe? More like, because he needs to stay alive for everything he represents and if he dies, then power goes to an power hungry idiot who'll doesn't care who lives or dies. But for love? I'd like to think that I would kill for my children."

"Whatever it took," Krycek said with quiet conviction.
