"Okay, so we're going to revisit the buddy system later down the track," Aphra said, not looking at anyone in particular. Tahani. Vi. "Instead we're going to look at the right way to exit the situation. Namely, the one that works."

She waited a moment before continuing. "If there's anything I want you guys to take away from this class, it's that results matter more than method. Unless you're hung up on ethics, but even in that you can just redefine results. Your goal is to get out of a situation with your skin, and possibly other people's intact, you might need to lie, you might need to steal, or cheat, or blow things up, and what works for some of you mightn't work for others, you do you."

That probably wasn't how that phrase was supposed to work, Aphra.

"Anyway, we're going to watch a short instructional film about different ways to handle the same situation, then I want you think about which of those three ways speaks to you. Share with the class even."
