Hello, Exit Strategies! Your teacher was much taller than usual today. And a dude. And Anakin Skywalker.

"Surprise," he said dryly. "Dr. Aphra is indisposed again this week."

Ignore any claw marks that may or may not be on Anakin's hands, please and thank you. "So today you will work on exit strategies with me."

This will only go well.

He pressed buttons and the Danger Shop changed into a conference room: clear glass walls, plastic bottles of water, weirdly dated electronics, ugly chairs.

"Please take seats," he said, gesturing. When everyone was in place, he began. "You are here for an extremely boring presentation for a rival corporation. They are keeping you waiting, currently, as a power play."

He left the room, locked the glass door, and then yelled, "And will be pumping this room full of knock-out gas in two minutes! Adapt and escape!"

Anakin's experience with escapes was a tad on the trying-to-be-fatal side for high school. Whoops.
