Professor Maelstrom, Black Sheep and others in “Becoming Carmen Sandiego (Part 1)”

Black Sheep, why have you requested our audience?

I'm ready.

Hmph. To enroll?

I know I'm not technically old enough, Professor Maelstrom, but I already have what it takes to be an awesome thief. Best ever! [Maelstrom raises an eyebrow] Um, in-- in my opinion, sir.

Black Sheep may be young, but she has had more training at her age than any recruit, even if only by osmosis.

Dr. Bellum is right. Lambsie's got gumption. I'd say she's ready to run with the big dogs.

I, for one, am not thrilled with the notion of having to endure Black Sheep's lack of manners in a classroom setting. The girl is feral.

Precisely why she might be overdue for properly supervised training, Countess Cleo. And you, Shadowsan?

We are operating a vocational school, not a nursery school.

But we've never met a case for advanced placement until now.

And last time I checked, majority vote rules.

[stands up] Black Sheep, you had better be certain that becoming a professional thief is what you truly desire, for if you choose this road, there will be no turning back.

I want this more than anything, Instructor Shadowsan. And I am willing to go to the end of the line. [bows]

All in favor?

[weeping] Our little lamb's gonna be all grown up!
