Heroing [Period 2, Class 14, Tuesday]

Today, the Danger Shop was set up with an elaborate, dirty cityscape. "GOOD MORNING, CLASS!" Hammer boomed. "Welcome to your final. Your job, today, should you choose to accept it" -- that's not the quote, Hammer, but nice try -- "is to rescue a damsel in distress!"

He held up a rather unrealistic looking blow-up doll. Yes, even in the Danger Shop, Hammer hadn't gotten realistic people simulations. One could argue that he didn't want them to risk messing up with real people, but the truth was that he had messed up the programming. The class should feel lucky to even have this much put together.

"You can use anything at your disposal -- gadgets," he said, gesturing to the table of totes moddable gadgets on a table before them, "vehicles," and he pointed to the...motley assortment of vehicles nearby, "or simply your physical skills." He flexed, in case they didn't get that.

"Your damsel is up there." Captain Hammer pointed up several stories of a building about a hundred yards away, where students might observe a blow-up doll hanging out a window. "If you take longer than two minutes, the room will catch on fire, too. Have fun!"

Tahiri's original plan had been to drive the tank over to the building and use the grappling hook to get into the room.

This was somewhat complicated by the fact that she ended up crashing the tank into the building, using up a good minute of her time trying to extricate herself from the hole, and losing the lower third of the grappling line when it snagged badly on some of the rubble on her way out . . . which ate up another thirty seconds.

By that point, since she hadn't brought any other gadgets with her, she didn't have much choice but to use a Force-assisted leap just to scale the wall with what was left of the grappling line. With four seconds to go she was still half a floor away from the doll and had to summon it to herself (it got a tiny bit singed on the way out when the fire started).

She was so not saying anything beforehand about having to do things the hard way again, she decided as she dropped back to the ground with the doll -- it was taller than her, which didn't help matters -- awkwardly slung over her shoulder.
