Cognitive Logic in Understanding Evidence; Wednesday, Second Period [04/14].

The class was back in the danger shop again this week, but their scene was very different. It wasn't quite raining, but it looked as though it just had and, at any moment, it may begin again. All around them was dark woods filled with tall, looming pines, and, in fact, it was very clearly nighttime, the only light illuminating the scene were the streetlamps casting a shimmering glow to the rain-slick roads and the dancing red neon sign of the roadhouse behind them. Rosa's hands were shoved into her pockets and she quirked her head toward the fire-escape staircase on the side of the building.

"Two classes left," she said. "Just enough time to squeeze in one extra mystery. A bit grittier than the first one. A murder happened upstairs, in the apartment just above this roadhouse bar, in the wee hours of the night not long after they'd closed for the evening. What we do know is that a man was shot on the landing right outside the apartment door. Everything else is up to you guys to try and figure out for our last class next week. Today, you'll get to investigate the scene and also each of you will receive a clue. Whether you want to share that clue and work with your fellow detectives to figure things out faster is up to you; if you want to try keep your cards close and hold your own, that's fine, too. How you go about this is entirely up to you. With that, come get your clues, and then get investigating.

"And if you have anything to report on last week's assignment," did Rosa expect any of them to even remember she'd given them an assignment? Not really!, "you can share that when you get your clue."

Career Development, Wednesday, First Period

Class was in the Danger Shop today. Hannibal was casually dressed today, no jacket or tie in sight. "We've talked about a number of ways to be safe or to get out of trouble. But sometimes trouble walks up and knocks on your door. Especially on this island. So, our next lesson is how to deal with the aftermath. Namely, ways of eliminating stress. One good way of doing that is to find someplace comfortable and simply breathe. For some people, exercise also works. So today we will be doing that."

He turned to the shop controls. "Exercise, breathe, whichever works best for you. Get in some practice." The shop became a sunny beach, with occasional large umbrellas and deck chairs and a very inviting ocean. "There are changing booths over there," he pointed out. "Along with a console so you can create your own swim clothes and towels if you'd like."

Was this all just because Hannibal wanted a day at the beach? Possibly. Hey, he was a psychiatrist. It was his professional opinion they could all use this.

Flight and Flying, Wednesday, April 14, 2021

"Next week is your final exam," Anakin said, "part of which will definitely be you surviving flying several different vehicles. So today you have free rein of the simulator--practice the ones you aren't good at, or the ones you are because they're fun and you don't care about failing an exam. I'm not in charge of your choices and this isn't Ethics class."

He would still judge you, just not for a grade.

"Don't break anything."
