Revolutions: Week 7, Period 5
Aly looked just a little gleeful as she waited for students to arrive in the Danger Room. Actually substitute very for just a little and that's where she was. If she was embarrassed about the weekend, it wasn't showing. Once everyone arrived, she spoke up.
"Inside this," she said, holding up a small clay globe, "is blazebalm. It's an explosive made with magic from my world. Once the blazebalm touches oxygen, it ignites. It's quite a bit stronger than C4 for those of you who want to make the comparison." She turned and threw the globe far away from the group of students. When it hit the ground, it exploded in a flash of fire and light.
She turned back to the students. "I thought about giving a midterm today, but doing the first of our two classes on explosives sounded a lot more interesting to me." Aly grinned. "Hopefully it will be for you too. Normally when you learn about explosives, you have quite a few lessons on theory, safety, and chemistry before you even get to think about touching actual material. We, however, have the Danger Room so you'll be able toplay experiment a bit today."
"I know quite a few of you already have explosives experience," she glanced atif they were present Charlie, Sam, Tyler, Aeryn. "If that's the case, a lot of this is going to be review for you, and I apologise. If you'd like something a little more difficult, I'm sure we can arrange it. For now, if you could keep an eye out for those who are less experienced."
"We're going to deal with improvised devices today, and two in particular, but first you do need to know a bit about the theory," Aly gave a concise but throrough lecture on explosive materials and the science behind them. When she was done, she didn't quite say 'now that that's out of the way,' but she was obviously more interested in the practical aspects of making things go boom.
"The two explosives we're going to work with today are two improvised explosives. You don't always have access to military material and you definitely don't always need it. One of the most common explosives in this word - and also one of the easiest to make is anfo - fertiliser and fuel oil. It sounds simple but a just a ton or so in a the right place could blow up a cargo ship and the harbor it's sitting in. The other is less an explosive than a weapon. Molotov cocktails - half gasoline, and half motor oil - you've probably already heard of them if your from this world. They're easy to make and can do a lot of damage especially against gasoline engines or wood structures."
"There's hundreds of other kinds of improvised explosives and we're going to talk more about tactics in another few weeks. What I want you to do today is to make anfo into a bomb and also make the Molotov cocktails. After you have them ready, you can blow things up."
[OOC:Please wait for the OCD is up. All links go to wikipedia so the FBI shouldn't break down your doors. More explanation in the OCD threads. If for any reason, your character is upset by the whole 'blowing things up' plan have him or her talk to Aly to let her know or ping me OOC.]

She walked over to Charlie and offered him her jacket. It probably wouldn't zip, but it might be something.
