[Video] Educational Advocacy

Guys, we need a school.

And not JUST because I've been stuck in Turtle-opolis for almost six months and I'm seriously behind in my studies. [She cycles through six different half-grumpy, half teasing faces before she assumes a more serious face.] I know people have been offering to teach self defense and magic and stuff like that, but it's not -- look, it's what we need to be doing.

Educating ourselves is how we prepare for stuff like -- you know, the thing that we have to prepare for.

Obviously, I'd mostly just be a student. I think most of the people who can teach valuable skills already are, but they could afford to be more coordinated. That means we need a Headmaster. Any volunteers?

[She clears her throat and steps back from the camera, revealing half her apartment to be covered with notes about something -- presumably this project.] Oh, yeah, I have a preliminary curriculum, lemme know what you think.

Lessee, we got... Self Defense, English, Kedan Language and Culture, Computer Science, Magic, Physics and how not to introduce stupid invasive furballs into the ecosystem.

Ahem. I mean Newcomer Orientation. Obviously there's not enough of us to really do levels or whatever, but come on. Let's get on it!

He's a total WASP. What about Pepper Stark or Annabeth?

NO STAY AWAY

That counts as criminal recklessness with your responsibility.

When bad things happen, it will be on you.
everylittlegirl: (uh yeah)

Pepper seems cool, but busy. Annabeth is defensive and grumpy, but she's good at organizing things and has some kind of connections.

If we cannot construct a pavilion, I should be happy to teach outside if the weather is pleasant--although I am told it is forbidden to teach the kedan language, so it may have to be done in private.

[His tone of voice says exactly what he thinks of that particular stipulation in his contract.]

Meeting? When would that be? Not sure if I want to commit to the idea of teaching as well, seems a little boring.

I'm not sure I want to touch the ethical implications of using children, especially in what would probably be an emergency situation.

I wouldn't really call school a dream come true, but hey, it's cool, I'll give you that.

Awesome. Good luck.

I would be much obliged; it does not seem very fair that only a few of us might be permitted to learn the language, when this sort of knowledge belongs to everyone.

That's what establishing safe houses and shelters is for - getting the most vulnerable out of harm's way.

And just because we're supposedly all brought here to fight, doesn't mean we're all qualified to do so. I question the ethics of anyone willing to use children in a war.
cmdreffingshepard: (oookay)

War is a terrible thing, and forces us to make a lot of hard decisions - but we need to be careful not to lose our way, too. It's the difference between us, and what we're fighting.
cmdreffingshepard: (that's interesting)

[Shepard looks off for a moment, lost in a distressing memory.] Sometimes they're the same thing.
