Mac flips a couple of switches on his remote and Cally finds herself locked in a deep freezer. Mac Hands her a virtual winter coat, a Swiss Army Knife and a roll of duct tape.

"The lock is unpickable with the knife. Go ahead and use anything you find here in the deep freeze to break the lock on the door and to your freedom"

[OOC: Feel free to use your imagination of what is in the room, but try and keep it limited to what might be in a walk-in freezer. I'll be checking in throughout the day to see how you do. ]

Mac presses a few buttons and Jack finds himself trapped underground in a abandoned mine due to a cave-in. Various materials that you would find in a mine are lying about. Mac hands Jack a virtual Swiss Army Knife and a rolle of duct tape.

"Pretty simple here. Use what you can find here along with tools I gave you to find a way out of the mine."

[OOC: Feel free to use your imagination of what is in the room, but try and keep it limited to what might be in a mine. I'll be checking in throughout the day to see how you do. ]

::Cally had come extra prepared, in her father's jumpsuit and wearing her toolpouch::

Sir, I guess this means I shouldn't be using these? ::takes off her toolpouch, and sets it down::

Well, this is... interesting.

::puts the duct tape over her wrist like a bracelet, pulls the coat over her jumpsuit, and begins looking around at the what she can find in the freezer::

Mac presses a button and Carter finds herself in the middle of a chemical processing plant that apparently was hit by an earthquake. There's some messed up vending machines to the side and some scientific equipment about.

But the real problem is the tank of sulfuric acid in front of her that has a hairline fracture and is leaking into the electrical system which may or not explode as a result.

Mac hands Sam a virtual pocket knife and a roll of duct tape.

"You need to find a way to patch the tank using whatever is around you. Duct tape alone will not work."

[OOC: Feel free to use your imagination of what is in the room, but try and keep it limited to what might be in a lab/chemical process facility. I'll be checking in throughout the day to see how you do. ]

"Sorry. Only your pocket knife, duct tape and what is in the room"

[OOC: This is based on an episode of MacGyver BTW]

Mac throws a switch and John finds himself in a hallway righ in front of an executive's office. There's a wet bar and other typical stuff you would find in an office. The hallway is decorated with modern furniture, plants and there's a door to a broom closet.

Mac points to laser eyebeams that stand right in front of the entrance to the office and a picture behind the executive's desk.

"You need to find a way to get past the security system here and break into the electronic lock of a safe behind the picture in the office"

Mac hands John a virtual swiss army knife and a roll of duct tape.

Classes during December/January: Yes

Sam walks into the room, pockets bulging. "May I take this stuff in with me, ~~Sir? Damn it.~~ Mac?"

Well... I'm definitely not gonna be able to just break the door down...

Okay... what've I got to work with?

::continues looking around::

Ice. A couple lightbulbs. Big slabs of meat. Big crate of ice cream... oooh, rocky road. Atleast if I died, I'd die contently. ::giggle::

::pinches the bridge of her nose::

Think, think, think...

[ooc: I know! I just want to draw this out and be fun, cause I know teh Macguyver way out, and I'm trying to come up with something different...]

Mac smiles. "Nice try Carter. Only the tools I gave you and what's in the room."

[OOC: Of course... some of what's in your pockets can be in the room. Just be somewhat realistic. This was also in an episode of MacGyver.]

"Darn it," she says, pouting slightly. All that prep for nothing.

She then proceeds to lay her swiss army knife, ball of twine, waterproof matches, two different colors of duct tape, phosphorescent glow sticks, a pair of wooden chopsticks, a pencil, a Classic Bic pen (found on the way to tryouts), and a small spiral bound notebook on the table outside the room.

Well... except for the chopsticks and the and the glow sticks, everything else you already have (knife and duct tape) or will be in the room.

And you forgot to mention how nice my hair looks. *deducts points*

[OOC: You don't know how tempted I was to give you a toaster to repair.]

"Thanks," she says, sighing with relief. "Those weren't the important parts, anyway."

~~I didn't want to bias the selection process. *pouts* It's looking especially fluffy today.~~

[ooc: ::dies laughing:: I hate you! ::dies laughing again::]

~~*Checks.* It *is* fluffy isn't it? *Replaces deducted points.* *But not because of pout.* *Really.* *Not that it looks cute or anything.* *But it does*~~

~~May I ask what brand of mousse you use? Because I know Adama's always looking for new hair products and I'd like to be able to pass the word along.~~

~~Hussy! Sure, use your feminine wiles to win over the teacher... Not Fair! ::sticks out tongue::~~

Sorry... make my own using common ingredients found in any kitchen. Of course. *rolls eyes*

~~Have to go offline now. Have fun with the audition~~

~~Feminine wiles are not considered part of the audition. Only your solution. Though compliments about my hair will sway my vote.~~

::goes over and stares at the lock, poking it occassionally with the swiss army knife::

Okay... picking it is out of the question, so I'm gonna have to break it. No visible screws, so...

::if Cally were a cartoon character, a lightbulb would now suddenly appear over her head::

Wait, we always used to get engine cracks in the winter, when water would drip in and freeze, busting out small bits...

::looks over at the ice, the crate of ice cream pints, and back at the lock::

Oh, I so totally have this.

I wouldn't know a feminine wile if it batted me to the ground with its long, silky lashes and covered me in lipstick! *defensively*

Sam enters the room and takes stock of the situation. Immediately, she goes to one of the lab benches and pulls on a pair of plastic safety goggles. She also removes the loose sweatshirt so that it doesn't get acid on it and burn her by accident.

"Sulfuric acid...sulfuric acid...hmm..."

She looks at the tank and the small leak. She sees the vending machine. "Well, chocolate would work to seal the leak, but it would take around forty pounds of the stuff to do it."

She ponders sending an emergency text message to Janet and Liz to have them bring their stash down, but figures that might not be sporting.

"Acid, acid..." She sees the refrigerator, with a door torn slightly askew on its hinges. "I wonder..."

Unfortunately, on closer inspection it turns out that the door to the refrigerator has become wedged in on the open side and won't open further.

After a moment of swearing in Russian (thanks, Liz!), Sam uses the Swiss Army Knife to remove the hinges on the refrigerator, so she can open it from the opposite side.

"Ketchup packets, soy sauce packets, peanut butter, *ew*, and yes!" She pulls forth a box of odor-absorbing baking soda, triumphant.
