fandomhigh | How to Blow Things Up: Period 2, Week 2

The class met in the Danger Room today. Aly was looking beyond gleeful at the situation.

"Okay guys, our first practical class is here in the Danger Room so everyone can get used to the way handling explosives feel without the possibility of them actually blowing you up. This one is going to be a redux for those of you who were in my Revolutions class so I apologise but review is never a bad thing."

"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 thorough 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'll talk about those. What I want you to do today is to pair up and discuss when this type of improvised explosive device would be useful. Then make anfo into a bomb and also make the Molotov cocktails. After you have them ready, you can blow things up."

Dean looked at the ingredients provided. "This doesn't look too difficult," he said.

"Just gotta be delicate," Seely said. "And avoid sparks."

"Definitely need to watch that last one, guys as hot as us," Dean said, waggling his eyebrows at Seely.

Seely snickered. "True," he said, striking a pose. "Us just being around it might set it off."

"It's a risky job but someone's gotta do it. You want to measure out the fertiliser and I'll get the fuel oil?"

"The perils of being so fantastically good looking," Seely said as he picked up the fertiliser and carefully began measuring it. "Just call me measuring boy."

"Measuring boy?" Dean snickered as he poured out some of the oil. "I'm sure we could come up with a better nick than that."

"But Mr Fantastically Awesome is already taken."

"You really need to work on that lack of ego problem you have," Dean teased.

"I know, my self-confidence is completely shot."

"Just as long as that's the only thing that gets shot."

"Hey, none of the mothers of the girl's in my cabin are on the island. So if you want to worry about things getting shot..."

Dean looked up form his measuring. "Have you hit on Jo?"

"Haven't even met her yet, ~~because I like my brain not being mush~~," Seely said. "But those squirrels gossip."

"Yeah, well, Jo's cool, and so's Ellen, but if you do ever meet her and get the urge, remember they're Hunters."

"As in ghosties and such?"

Dean nodded. "Ellen's an old friend of Dad's."

"Wow, small world."
