Spy Tech, Final Class (04/25)

[mi6-m.livejournal.com]

Wednesday, April 25, First Period

Students entering the Danger Shop will first encounter a long table covered with heavy white envelopes. Each envelope is stamped TOP SECRET and labeled with a student's name. Technicians begin immediately handing out equipment to the class. M is standing to one side.

"Welcome to your final exam. These envelopes contain your mission briefings. You have each been assigned two targets and two mission objectives. First, eliminate your primary target. Then, isolate your secondary target and retrieve the specified item. Full marks will be given to any student who completes one of the missions, extra credit will be given for completing both.

"My techicians are outfitting you with three items. The first is a gun which fires a non-lethal laser. The second is a lightweight blunt sword. And the third is a vest equipped with special sensors, linked to both a wrist monitor and my own monitors here. These sensors will detect a shot from the laser gun or a hit from the sword. You will not be able to use either weapon to actually injure your classmates, but the wrist monitor will alert you to the sort of damage you could expect to have sustained from any shot or blow. Additionally, I will be watching your progress from the control station.

"Along with the required items you have just been given, you have access to a number of moddable other pieces of espionage equipment. You may outfit yourself with three additional useful tools to take along on your mission, with the exception of additional weapons or any sort of vehicle.

"There are three regions laid out here in the Danger Shop. You may move from region to region, and in fact will most likely have to do so in order to track your targets. The Danger Shop safety protocols will not allow you to become physically injured, but you will be able to interact fully with your surroundings. This means that you may improvise additional weapons or other useful tools, and the vests and monitors will adjust accordingly. Once you have completed the scenario, return the equipment and you may go on your way."

M took a moment to look at each student individually, and then nodded to the assembled group. "It's been an unexpected pleasure to teach this class. An experience I had not thought to enjoy. I wish you all luck in your future pursuits...and hope to God I never see a file on any of you cross my desk."

[OOC: Those of you who signed up to participate should have received an email containing information on your assignments. If you didn't, please tag me in the OOC thread and I'll make sure you get the information. This scenario is entirely dependent on the students playing it out with each other, there are no NPCs. Please keep in mind that you can't mod each other's actions or "injuries", but please also play along -- if another character aims a shot or a blow, play it out as your character would. If M catches anyone not abiding by the rules or the spirit of the game, she'll pull that character aside to have a word with them.

You'll find three OCD threads below, for the three "regions" laid out for use. You are welcome to interact with people other than your assigned targets, but you won't be able to actually "kill" non-target characters. The environment is completely moddable -- I've outlined a basic description below, but feel free to mod appropriate scenery, objects, etc. The only thing that the Danger Shop won't provide for you is additional people. Also, you may choose any three pieces of appropriate equipment to take along for the scenario -- cutting tools, explosives, communication devices, grappling guns, etc. The Danger Shop will provide whatever your character would deem appropriate, just please use common sense.

Please also feel free to email me with any questions at angel.phale @ gmail.com. The post is open for slowplay for as long as you'd like to use it.

This class has been a blast to teach, and hope you've enjoyed it as much as M and I have! Please wait for the OCD is up, have at it! :) ]

Region One: The Abandoned Rail Yard

[mi6-m.livejournal.com]

This is your typical rail yard, complete with a repair shop, depot, and multi-car train. Completely abandoned...except for any of your fellow "agents" who might be hiding out there.

Re: Region One: The Abandoned Rail Yard

John carefully steps around the train cars, making sure to check all angles before proceeding. His sword is in his right hand in a defensive downward position, the laser pistol in his left, braced by his right as he crouch-walks along, waiting for anyone.

Re: Region One: The Abandoned Rail Yard

Three pieces of equipment. Jack studied what was available and decided on explosives, an incredibly bright flashlight, and the grappling gun.

Reasonably happy with what he had, he sheathed the sword and - laser pistol in hand - hugged the wall as he made his way towards the train, sliding between it and the wall as he worked his way further in. The other options were far too open.

When no one was looking, D climbed up on top of the train and took a low position that allowed her to watch the others move about.

Region Two: The Forest

[mi6-m.livejournal.com]

This is old growth forest, with plenty of space for movement among the trees, some concealing underbrush for hiding, logging trails, and a shallow stream.

Once "Nadia" had been outfitted for the class (who knew they made degu sized laser tag equipment? . . . is that an iPod strapped to the degu's back?!), she ditched the gun and headed into the forest to gnaw on some sticks.

Re: Region Two: The Forest

[cantgetnorelief.livejournal.com]

Anders, gun in hand and sword strapped to his back, headed into the forest -- he'd been doing stints of high-altitude training since he was twelve, and the forest reminded him a bit of Stanley Park Caprica's forests, so he pretty much felt at home as he went looking for his target.

. . . and wouldn't this be interesting.

He'd still much rather be back in the dorms keeping an eye on Phoebe, but after missing so much of class she'd have kicked his ass if he tried to ditch the final, so here he was.

Maybe he could get some of his frustration out this way, at least.

Mac, not really one to immediately go on the offensive, crouched down behind a fallen tree bringing her laser gun up to rest on it so she could shoot if necessary, and kept her eyes peeled for anyone who might be after her.

Re: Region Two: The Forest

Broots wasn't so much sneaking as hiding behind a tree.

Re: Region Two: The Forest

[surferboy-09er.livejournal.com]

Dick was crouching down behind a tree, his gun at the ready.

Re: Region Two: The Forest

[mparkerceo.livejournal.com]

Parker had taken small explosives-- the ones M had loaned her two months ago-- a GPS hand-held unit, and a grappling gun. Keeping to the underbrush, she started to track her two targets, on the lookout for anyone tracking *her*.

Re: Region Two: The Forest

[sound-loyalty.livejournal.com]

Forest was, pretty much, a natural habitat for most ninja. Except maybe Sand ninja and Mist ninja. But Kabuto was neither of those. He jumped from tree to tree to tree, keeping a lookout for his targets.

Region Three: The Cliffs

[mi6-m.livejournal.com]

Rocky outcroppings tower over a narrow beach. The cliffs are low enough to be climbed if you have that sort of skill, but high enough to be dangerous. And the water is too shallow for diving.

Re: Region Three: The Cliffs

[bound2blade.livejournal.com]

Yeah, the girl with the wings wasn't going to choose to perch herself up on one of those cliffs and keep an eye from above on the beach for her targets. Although she was really more the type to go out and find them, she'd try this for a bit. It worked well, too, if she should suspect someone targetting her was in the area. Much easier to dodge in the air, unfettered by anything else.

....It wasn't cheating. It was using your resources to their utmost advantage, thank you.

Talk to the TAs

[mi6-m.livejournal.com]

Last chance to bug Santos or Blank about this class.

Re: Talk to the TAs

[nadiathesaint]

You can talk to "Nadia" all you want. She might try to gnaw on your clothes, though.

Re: Talk to the TAs

[oatmanspatient.livejournal.com]

Marty was just sitting there boggling at Nadia.

Talk to M

[mi6-m.livejournal.com]

Ask questions about the assignment, turn in absence excuses, or take one last opportunity to try out a bribe.

Re: Talk to M

[walter-n-wires.livejournal.com]

Walter arrived, degu in hand, looked around before he approached the woman least likely to be a student.

"Miss... M? I'm here about Nadia."

Re: Talk to M

[mparkerceo.livejournal.com]

After she completed the Final, Parker turned in her equipment, then went to talk to M. "Thanks again for teaching this course, M. If I don't see you at Graduation, I appreciate all the help you gave me as my mentor. And I'll see you England in October."

Talk to Each Other

[mi6-m.livejournal.com]

For any chatter outside the mission scenario.

Re: Talk to Each Other

[misshargrove.livejournal.com]

Before she started her mission, Annette knocked back two pain pills with a tall can of energy. Ahh. Go her.

OOC

[mi6-m.livejournal.com]

M's very last class. She's almost overjoyed, but I'm sad. This has been fun. :)
