Today, the Danger Shop was arranged to look like an elegant formal ballroom, with heavy chandeliers, a string quartet playing jazz tunes in the corner, and a buffet of light finger foods. Sarah, dressed to kill in a red gown slit almost up to there, smiled as she greeted the class.

"Welcome to your final," she said. "There are two key things somewhere in this room. One is a suspect called La Ciudad. All you know about this individual is that he or she is a Colombian national suspected of smuggling drugs and weapons, especially weapons. The other is La Ciudad's information drop -- the papers he or she is passing along to a contact. Your job is to recover one or both of these things by the end of class without making anyone suspicious. The hotel has its own security, and La Ciudad does not travel alone. Things could get dangerous."

"You'll be working in teams of three. On each team, one person is the analyst. This person knows how to interpret the papers but must be protected. The other two are both agents. It helps if one of you is the muscle and bodyguard and the other does the investigating, but you can divide that up however you want to."

She pointed off to two side chambers, labeled GENTLEMEN and LADIES. "Right now, you have ten minutes to find your team and then get into appropriate cover to circulate at this event, including any weapons or supplies you wish to carry. You'll each be wearing a mike so you can talk to each other or to me."

She waited a second longer, then: "Go."

Final thoughts?

Liir walked over to Sarah after class, pulling a small flat device from his bag. It was about the size of a credit card, though thicker, and had a little silver disk at the middle.

"Professor? That assignment you gave me..."

"Adapting the spy car so it might work in the real world?" Sarah asked. She reached out her hand to take the device. "Tell me how it works."

"Pressure," he said with a shrug, pointing to the silver circle. It was a watch battery.

"Press it down, the battery touches the metal inside and starts transmitting. The mics are on the side in there. You could put it under a couch cushion so it turns on when someone sits there. Or under a book or something. It was the only way I could think of making it work so that the battery wouldn't die out almost immediately."

He looked away with a scratch of his ear.

"I don't know if it'd be useful, but that's what I was thinking might work."

"I can see it working," Sarah said. She was still rotating the card in her hand. "I'll test it out this week and give you the credit if it works."

She smiled. "Do you invent things a lot?"

He ducked his head, blushing a little, and shook his head.

"No. I just took a course on it my first semester here. I hadn't picked up my notebooks for a while, or any of the tools, but it just seemed... like something interesting."

"It is," Sarah agreed. "And it looks like you did a nice job. Thanks, Liir."

He gave her a slightly crooked smile before nodding again.

"I should--" and he wasn't quite sure what he should do, "head out. Good day, professor. I hope it works. And, um, not just because of the extra credit."
