fandomhigh | Spy Games, Monday, 6/8, Period 5

Someone who was observant well beyond the bounds of the human norm might notice that Sarah had a few new-ish-to-the-classroom accessories today -- chunky diamond stud earrings in place of her usual hoops, and a watch that looked almost mannish on her delicate wrist. But for the most part, she looked entirely normal in her blouse and jeans, if on the cheerful end of the spectrum for her.

"Good afternoon," she said, once the students seemed to be there. "Today we're talking about tools that spies use for surveillance and communication -- listening bugs, but also things agents can wear on their person to keep in touch with base without using normal phone systems."

She held up a disk about the size of a thick quarter. "This is a standard modern bug. It's designed so it adheres to the bottom of any piece of furniture you want; it can also be mounted inside a phone to record conversations. It'll transmit via radio frequencies." She went on to give the technical specs of the bug, including the range of the microphone, how long it would last and the quality of the sounds it transmitted.

"If you're an agent and you go out in the field, you'll probably be miked. Right now, I'm wearing send/receive transmitters in my earrings and my watch, and I've seen them in shoes, bracelets, bras, pendants ... anything that a person can wear without arousing suspicion. Some watches even have full Internet access built in for quickly looking up information."

"For your activity today, I've brought a few toys. None of this is the highest-tech stuff on the market; these are products made for and marketed to civilians. But they should still keep you busy for the rest of the class period. I'm around if you have questions."

[OOC: Please assume the toys on the tables have brochures near them explaining what they are and how they work. Thanks!]

With your first icon alphabetically.

Listen, chat, take notes, etc.

Anything you can find online in a commercial spy store is fair game to be at the tables. Stealing anything is cool OOCly, but there will be IC consequences.

Once they have pinged in.

She's there, and keeping a sharp eye on the tables of spy gear.

La la la la, lamish class.

Katina Choovanski

Yamanaka Ino

Valentine Wiggin

Ino held herself carefully, her bruises still aching, but other than that seemed mostly focused on the class--at least, as focused as she ever was.

Karla had been very confused by the whole lecture. What did bugs have to do with anything? Specifically Ben and Ender's electronical thingies? Because all things electronic would now forever be linked to them.

Still, she dutifully took notes. As you do.

Karla di Glacia

Gwen Cooper

Poking the items while wearing a highly dubious expression was probably not the best way to handle them. That was about as far as Karla got, though.

Liir Thropp

Oh, right, people from different worlds. Someday Sarah would even remember that when she was writing her lectures, and not during the activity.

"They don't bite," she informed Karla, stepping quietly up beside the girl.

Liir listened to the lecture, wondering if there were any spells that could do something similar. He didn't know how well the technology would work in Oz, after all. He'd have to ask Glinda.

Claire ~~Bennet~~ Butler

Liir fiddled with a few of the items, trying to figure out what their use might be.

Claire took some notes. This was definitely interesting.

"Perhaps not," Karla said, shooting one a look that suggesting she wasn't quite sure Sarah was right about that. "But they also aren't doing anything else."

Not that poking them would be a good way to change that. "I got a computer," she added. "For practice."

Claire picked up a room transmitter (http://www.gcomtech.com/index.php?app=ccp0&ns=prodshow&ref=gsm-room-transmitter&sid=9791tcnvwxz2c596d448qh3h6bd3zkf8) and idly speculated on ways she could use something like that to her advantage.

Ellie Bartowski

"They aren't turned on," Sarah said, gathering up a nightspyer (http://www.spygear.net/spy-gear/spy-toys/nightspyer) and the brochure ~~which I forgot to mention because I am fail~~. "See, look, if you push this it lights up and you can illuminate just your path."

She looked sideways at Karla. "How's it going with the computer?"
