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."

The fresh air was followed by sunlight, and Rikku would find herself outside just minutes before the simulation cut off. Vala grinned at one of her prize students. "Well done! And what did you learn?"

Rikku considered. "I think I kinda learned that I have no idea how to do techno-stuff, and need to ask about that. And that playing innocent always helps, and so does beating the crap out of things, and that authority people showing up isn't necessarily bad. And that in a real-life situation you should totally case the joint beforehand if you can so that you know what you're up against. Uh, and that those bomb things are heavy."

Vala nodded her approval. "I'm so proud."

Rikku blinked. "Really? 'Cause I screwed up a lot! I mean, I kinda looked like an idiot."

"You got what you went in for, you used all the tools at your disposal, and you didn't get arrested," she counted off on her fingers. "To me, that counts as a successful theft."

Rikku giggled. "Then that's good enough. But I'll try to do better next time, honest."

"I'm sure you will."
