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

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."

"Fine," she said, pouting a little, "but you better be worth it."

"I promise I will be," he said and went back to work cutting the last bar out of the way, hoping there were no more female booby traps coming at him.

As soon as the last bar was cut, an overhead alarm started to blare in conjunction with a light flashing. The woman stared at Sheppard. "I'm not getting arrested for a guy I just met!"

Sheppard sighed, "Then run!" He started to grab the treasure out of the case.

That would have worked just fine as a plan, except for one thing--the woman suddenly dropped to the floor and started seizing. It had evidently been triggered by the flashing lights.

If John were closer to a wall, he'd have banged his head against it. "This is not the time for that!" He grabbed the treasure and ran over to the woman. Unfortunately, John didn't leave people behind, so he tried to help stop her from banging her head, and found a piece of wood to put in her mouth, if he could.

After a few minutes, the woman stopped seizing. However, by that point a number of guards were pointing guns directly at John.

"We need a doctor!" he shouted at the guards, "Some madman was here and he injured my girlfriend! Please help us!" He hoped to distract the guards enough that they wouldn't notice the treasure on the floor by him.

The guards immediately clustered around the woman, leaving their backs to John and leaving him a route of escape through several doors and corridors.

John grabbed the treasure and backed slowly towards the escape route, turning to run only when he thought he was clear of the guards.

As the scenario blipped out, Vala beamed at John. "Interesting approach. Is there anything you would have done differently?"

John tried to think about it. "Well, if I'd done something differently, I might not have gotten out before getting caught."

"An excellent point! And did you find your burglary tools useful?"

"Yes, especially the cutter."

"One must always be prepared to liberate treasure," she nodded knowingly. "I always carry mine with me."
