Mohinder stood in the simulated outside of the Danger Shop, leaning against a metallic lecturn with a screen. He gave a quick head count as class assembled - matching names with faces.

"Good morning," he started. "I'm Dr Mohinder Suresh: this is physics with trees." The trees were - at least this week - non-literal, the major greenery a hedgerow a few feet behind him. "...and if anyone wants to volunteer as TA they can find me afterwards. In this class we'll be covering as many of the geosciences as possible, but focussing on geography. So I'm glad to see you all found your way here."

"As this is the first week, we'll start with introductions. Name, point of origin and tell me about the last time you got lost." After they had finished Mohinder nodded and continued. "Starting on a small scale, modern mazes are designed for recreation, as opposed to the older labyrinth design - a labyrinth is a single-path maze, with no chance of getting lost - often walked as a guide for meditation."

He punched a few buttons and section of hedge disappeared. "Do try not to get lost."

"Oh." He liked that word. "Do you think she would be angry?"

"No, I don't," he said, sounding very certain. "And she wouldn't hurt you."

Andrew turned to the right and started to walk. "I wasn't worried about that," he lied. "I was just, you know, curious."

He paused. "So, any idea what this has to do with physics?"

"I'm not sure I even understand what physics is," he admitted, following Altra who was following Andrew.

"Well, maybe we'll do some physics next week."

Andrew paused at another junction. "You get to pick the way this time."

Karal chose right, working on the assumption that they'd have to go in to get out. "I think I might do some reading between now and then."

"Hedges are kind of cool," Andrew commented. It was a lame attempt at small talk, but at least if felt safe.

"Odd though," he replied, smiling a little. "I'd have expected them to be trees."

Andrew laughed. "Maybe it's a riddle! Or something..."

"Maybe." He grinned. "And if we get completely lost, then I'm sure we can convince Altra to Jump us out."
