Anakin's office [from noon onwards]

Anakin had spent the morning over at the Trooper Station interrogating interrogating his new staff: since he'd worked with various clones before (and was uniquely aware of their more...esoteric programming), he'd spent time with each one individually, asking about their duties at the Trooper Station, their thoughts about Fandom, and what happened if he said "Implement Order 66."

Turned out, nothing, but it was worth checking.

He went over to his office at the school around lunchtime, flipped on the link to Katniss's world (a habit he'd gotten into since she'd left), and was getting ready to write down his impressions about yesterday's class when he realized that he wasn't listening to the usual noises from Panem.

He was tuned into the Reaping. District 9, it looked like. Cursing under his breath, Anakin reached into a desk drawer and began leaving handwavey messages for the list of people Katniss had left for him to talk to.

From his spot behind his desk, he reached out through the Force to close the door. Today's office hours were by invitation only.

If Karla had any inkling of what Luke was planning, she'd sympathize with him, too. At least, up to a point.

"I hope they do it before a third Quarter Quell goes by," she replied, staring at the teevee again. "While what Katniss has gone through still has a chance of having more than just a symbolic meaning."

"I hope so too," he said. "Sucks that there's not much we can do from this end."

Not that he really had the mental capacity to handle two rebellions at this point.

"Only because Katniss is convinced an assassination squad won't work," Karla grumbled.

Even if she had been joking--and she wasn't--there were several other people in the room who would do it.

"Nah, if they killed the President now there would just be someone ready to take his place and it would garner sympathy for the Capitol," Luke said, shaking his head. "They need to get the people on their side first before they can go around imprisoning or killing figureheads."

"I don't know if I would call Snow a figurehead," Karla said, frowning. "Though Katniss and I didn't get into politics enough to say for sure. The biggest problem I see is the lack of communication between districts. Even if something did happen, they probably wouldn't know in time to react to it."

"I wouldn't be so sure of that. People find a way to get news out if they want it badly enough." Luke had to believe that otherwise he would be completely screwed.
