Freelance Treasure Hunting, Monday, Period 5, Class #7

"Good afternoon," Vala greeted the students as they entered the Danger Room Shop, sitting on the console next to what could be considered a basket for tribute. Just because she was no longer a warlord is no reason not to accept gifts if they were willingly offered. "Welcome to our last class session together. Which by no means you shouldn't still stop by my...well, I don't quite have an office, but if you need me for something, leave a note at the radio station or on my voice mail, and I'll get back to you."

Surrounding Vala were a number of assorted vehicles, from bicycles to motorcycles to flashy sports cars to rickshaws and old pickup trucks and non-descript sedans. For the more futuristically inclined, there were also a number of swoop bikes and speeders, as well as other flying devices. No large ships, though.

"Today, we'll be discussing how to make a getaway. Often, when you're planning a heist treasure hunting expedition, you'll need to do some research before the event, as well as traveling in preparation and during the expedition. You'll need to be as inconspicuous as possible, of course, so you'll want to choose a vehicle that blends in with both who you've decided to be and with the area you're researching."

"However, you also want to be sure that your vehicle can get you away from wherever you are, again as inconspicuously as possible, but also quickly. Obviously, these things do not always go smoothly or predictably, and you'll want to be able to get away if at all possible. Things to consider include conspicuousness, available fuel, and maneuverability, and whether or not it's large enough to carry the treasure you're finding. Today, you'll be telling me which vehicle you would choose and why, then drive your chosen vehicle around an obstacle course--if you choose to have someone with you as your driver, make sure it's someone you trust implicitly."

She cleared her throat. "Anyway, I just wanted to thank you for being a wonderful class and I wish you good luck." She paused. "And a cut of any proceeds."

Turtle's notes were occasionally interrupted by the need to stab her pencil into the paper and make angry little circly things.

What? She was in a bad mood. Her poor teeth, though...first suffering the barrage of constant sugar, and now being gritted together way too much.

"A moped," Turtle said after a bit of thought. "No one suspects the dorks with the moped."

Dean's list of getaway vehicles had a grand total of one on it. He may be just a little single focused when it comes to cars.

"You won't need to get away quickly," Turtle said. "You and your get-away buddy are sitting there on this little high-powered scooter, usually in a bright colour, with big dorky helmets on. They'd never look twice at you."

"Of course, this is for city heists treasure hunts. A moped around an ancient temple might be a wee bit suspect."

An Effin' flying car. Damn it.

"Flying car," Mel said firmly. "Or one of those swoopy bike things. Because they can FLY. Plus it's more fun to fly in them than bounce off them as you fall 60 feet to the ground and land on your face."

Can Mel mod a swoop bike?

"Where I'm from? There's a ton. Or are we talking about this crazy place?" Mel asked. "Because then I'd have to go with the Deadpoolmobile or whatever that crazy driver instructor came up with."
