Physical Films | Period 3 | Class 7

[satedan-soldier.livejournal.com]

After a nice long week away, the Danger Shop was outfitted with a giant screen again, but this time there were dozens of StairMasters set up in front of it. A large Satedan leaned against one of the machines waiting for them all to filter into the room.

"Hope your vacation was good," Ronon said from his spot at the front of the room, back resting against the screen. "Today we're back to our study of fitness and films with the movie Cliffhanger. It's no award winner, but the guys a badass and while you watch, you'll be doing some climbing of your own on these machines." Ronon took the time to go through proper use of the equipment, as always before pointing them all to the waiting locker room doors. "Get your uniforms on and we'll get started. Welcome back."

Hubris from Revelation: the Social Engineering of Ultimate Truths [Monday, Period 2]

The class met in the Danger Room today, which was set up into a series of different rooms. Most of them were full of very heavy furniture. The last one was full of low tables with tea kettles resting on top.

( You have said it, but you have not understood. )

He certainly hadn't messed with the tea, as a subtle manipulator of the elements might do. Except for how he had.

Applied Science | Monday | 10.19

[tyler_gone]

"Morning," Tyler said from his perch atop his desk. "Hope you all had a good break week. We're switching it up this week with a little critical thinking exercise."

He moved down in one fluid motion and started handing out printouts of an article (with the lovely comments section removed). "There is some very weird stuff in this world. You live in Fandom; you know that. But there's also weird stuff in the completely normal everyday world most -- well, at least half of us -- call reality. That is an article about things that exist in my world that no one can explain yet. it's modern technology that looks thousands of years older than it should be; it's a manuscript no one can decode; it's giant stone balls that no one can explain."

That stack distributed, he was back with more paper. "They left off Roswell, Stonehenge and the Moai statues on Easter Island, probably because they're too well-known and Stonehenge has turned out to be a graveyard anyhow." Spoilsport scientists.

"Anyhow, your assignment for the day is to read over this stuff and discuss your own, non-supernatural explanation for at least one of the things in your handouts." A beat. "'Aliens did it' could be true, but it still counts as supernatural."

Fencing Club - The Salle, Afternoon After Classes

[once-a-traitor.livejournal.com]

Despite the week of interruption, come Monday afternoon everything was set up as it always was for Fencing Club.

"A light session today," Edmund told the group. "Pair up and let's see if you remember everything despite the week off."
