Freelance Treasure Hunting, Monday, Period 5, Class #3

[spacepiratevala.livejournal.com]

The class had been handwavily instructed to report to the Danger Room Shop for today's class. Vala was looking especially smug as she played with the dials on the machine and munched on an apple.

"Hello," she greeted them cheerfully, "and welcome to what I'm sure will be an enlightening afternoon for you. Today we will be dealing with how to obtain your treasure or priceless artifact, once you've located it. As I'm sure you probably already know, in many instances, people who collect priceless and historically important artifacts and works of art tend to have elaborate security systems protecting these items and making it more difficult--but, and this is important, not impossible--for an enterprising individual such as one of you to obtain or liberate them."

"So, in today's class, there will be a number of scenarios programmed into the trust computer imaging system here, and your assignment will be to free it from its unfortunate incarceration. Please be aware that there will be a number of alarm systems and surprises along the way. There is also a table with tools," she gestured towards a number of burglary tools that were nicely arrayed on a table at the side of the room in Vanna White-esque fahion, "should you require them. Also, feel free to ask any questions along the way, and either my charming minion-er, assistant-or myself will answer you as soon as we can."

"Oh crap!" Isabel thought as she flung herself to the floor. Now she was sticky with honey and covered with dirt. "This thing better be priceless."

Once the arrows passed over head, she started back towards the statue, moving fast despite the bees.

Apparently the bees had sent out some kind of signal, because more were beginning to show an active interest in Isabel.

Active meaning they stung. Isabel swatted at the bee that stung her arm. "Damnit!" She reached the statue and grabbed at it, knowing all the while that was probably not a good idea.

The shift in the weight registered with the mechanism inside the podium. If she was paying attention to anything other than bees, she'd probably hear old gears and pulleys and ropes start to move, and feel the ground begin to tremble.

The trembling only made Isabel move that much faster back towards the exit, clutching the statue tightly the whole time.
