Spy Tech, Class Fourteen (04/18)

[mi6-m.livejournal.com]

Wednesday, April 18, Period One

As had been announced the previous week, the class met in the Danger Shop. Today it was programmed to look like an open field, the perimeter cordoned off with yellow tape. A number of men and women in white lab coats and safety glasses milled around, and a firetruck was parked off to the side.

"No lecture today," M announced, approaching the assembled students. "Today, you'll have the opportunity to test out one of our agents' favorite inventions -- the Jetpack."

She gestured toward a small knot of technicians, who were making final checks on what appeared to be a number of bulky-looking parachute packs.

"Each Jetpack is fitted with a sensor which will not allow it to leave the marked boundaries, as well as a medical monitor which will switch the equipment to autopilot and return it safely to us should any of you become ill. Or if you begin using the Jetpacks in a manner which is hazardous to yourself or others."

M looked each student sternly in the eyes. "I expect you all to exercise caution and common sense when utilising this equipment. Now..." She pursed her lips. "Go and have fun."

As she stepped aside, the technicians approached, gave a quick demonstration on how the Jetpacks operated, and then assisted the students in fitting the equipment on.


[OOC: Playtime for today's class! Fly around in the Jetpacks, play chicken with the other students, have races, do whatever you like. Just remember that the Danger Shop safety protocols will not allow you to be injured, and the equipment is programmed to return you to M if things get too out of hand. So please, as M says, use common sense. Otherwise -- have fun! But not until the OCD is up, so fun-having may now commence!

Also: If you haven't signed up to let me know what kind of participation you plan to have for the Final Exam, PLEASE go to THIS POST and drop a tag in one of the OCD threads.]

Jetpacks! Fly!

[mi6-m.livejournal.com]

Two rules:

1. Don't get hurt.

2. Don't hurt anyone else.

Aside from that, have at!

Figuring that they were certainly more compact and definitely less exhausting, Setsuna made a genuine try to get used to the jetpack and feel familiar with it. But, after a while, she just got frustrated with the device, set it aside, and got out her wings. So much easier....Technology. Ugh.

And yes, she did still not take into account that not everyone knew about them....

And that would be John trying to zoom around at her. "Defend yourself, Werechicken!"

Annette wanted to have some fun. Needed to have some fun. Just because she woke up a little sad and alone this morning had absolutely nothing to do with it at all whatsoever.

Putting on her jetpack, she made sure she was comfortable with the feel of it and walked around a bit first. Then ohmigod, she shot up in the air like a pro! Okay, maybe she zigzagged and tried really hard not to run into anyone and shouted often, "Coming through! Watch it! Out of my way! On a mission here!"

After she got used to it? She was shouting, "Fifty bucks to anyone who can catch me! Buwaaaahhh!"

John? Could so use the Franklin. The chase is on!

D saw the jetpacks, observed them closely even, but wasn't in the mood to try them out.

John's grin threatened to split his face as he did a bit of testing with the jetpack and flew off, crooked as a butterfly path, not straight as an arrow.

Mac, would honestly rather keep both feet firmly on the ground, but she also likes her good grades. It's quite the dilemma.

She put the jet pack on, but was more than a little hestitant when it came to actually using it to fly.

Coooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooool.

That will be all.

Broots? Was in a very, very happy place.

Talk to M

[mi6-m.livejournal.com]

Get a head start on buttering her up, you've got a final next week.

Not that it'll do you any good, of course.

Talk to the TAs

[mi6-m.livejournal.com]

If you can catch them. Jetpacks, you know.

Re: Talk to the TAs

[nadiathesaint]

Jet pack? The morning after seeing a kid she hadn't known she had three days ago off? Before she'd had her coffee?

Surely, you jest.

Marty floated pretty high up.

Jet packs are awsome.

Talk to Each Other

[mi6-m.livejournal.com]

For milling about or sharing stories about the wee kidlets, while you're not flying around.

Re: Talk to Each Other

[dbiers.livejournal.com]

D mostly stood about, observing the jetpacks and her fellow students, while hiding behind her over-sized coffee mug.

She had an iron grip on the mug and it might have held more than coffee but she wasn't telling.

"Hey, D'Anna." Parker could barely keep her eyes open. "You're not trying the jetpacks either?"

OOC

[mi6-m.livejournal.com]

No, Annette, you may not try to sneak a Jetpack out of class...

Re: OOC

[misshargrove.livejournal.com]

Aw, come on, come on, it'd be so easy!

Re: OOC

[blessed_twice]

My backpack's got jets!

Re: OOC

[bound2blade.livejournal.com]

Pssssh. Jetpacks. Silly humans and your need to have decives to fly.

So I pinged him in and then deleted, because I realized first period, and . . . yeah, please excuse Anders from class (yet again) as he has a mopey post-kidlet cuddlepile to be in. :(

Dock his grade as warranted. :)
