Law and Order: Interdimensional Edition - Week One

[famous-gut.livejournal.com]

Gibbs stood in front of the classroom surrounded by coffee makers, his fellow teachers and... Ralph.

"Welcome to class," he said after the students had taken their seats. "This semester we are combining most of the law enforcement resources here on the island to provide you with the benefit of all our years of experience. Except for Ralph. He's here to take attendance."

Right now the trooper was glaring and making faces at Gibbs behind his helmet. Gibbs really didn't care.

"By now you should be tired of introducing yourselves," Gibbs continued, "And if you think that means you get to skip it this time... you're wrong. We're all going to introduce ourselves, instructors included, and tell everyone what we hope to achieve in this class."

Gibbs then pointed at a random person. "You first."

When that was done, Gibbs took his position again at the front of the classroom. "Now that we've finished we're going on to talk about possibly the most useful and practical skill you can ever have in law enforcement. It is not only the most important tool an officer can have but it is a skill that everyone should be familiar with."

Gibbs looked into the eyes of each student to make sure they were paying attention. "Coffee. That's right. Coffee," he said handing out a set of instructions. "Please take your time to review your instructions and then follow them. I and any of my fellow instructors who are brave enough, will then sample your brew and grade it. And yes, this will be on the final exam. Next week, Professor Ziva David will cover how to be sneaky when tracking people. Let's get to work.

[OCD is up!]

"Oh yeah. Cooper and Lance. You're our TA's. Congratulations. You bring the coffee and doughnuts every week."

(DOINK! DOINK!)

Dinah blinked, then looked around for her fellow TA. "...did not see that coming." Not that she wasn't pretty cheerful about it. "Thanks, Gibbs!"

"Don't let me down, Lance."

Gwen paused for one moment, then raised a hand. "Which Cooper?"

Gibbs checked his syllabus again. "Sorry. Beka."

Re: The TA's

[provostsdog.livejournal.com]

"Yes, Master Gibbs." Twas instinct to agree. "We only have to provide food?"

Re: The TA's

"And coffee," Gibbs replied. "And other duties as the instructors see fit."

He paused and looked at the trooper for amoment and then back at Rebakah.

"Except the guy in the armor."

Re: The TA's

"Why's he in armor?" Beka asked. She'd seen the troopers many times afore in town and it puzzled her. "I've read about this world's police, but none had armor like that."

Re: The TA's

"Yeah, he's not from around here," Gibbs replied. "Some galaxy far, far away."

Re: The TA's

"They look like they're ready to go to war," Beka replied. Full body armor was reserved for the military and not so much for Dogs.

"You want to get the donuts, or the coffee, next time? Or just make a run to J,GOB together?" Dinah checked, then smiled. "Hi, I'm Dinah, by the way."

Re: The TA's

[provostsdog.livejournal.com]

"Beka," she introduced herself. "I believe both works as long as I'm not in charge of getting the coffee. I don't know aught about it."

"I had to get it for Mitchell last semester, when I was his TA," Dinah said, with a flash of a grin. "So that works out. Have you been a TA before?"

Re: The TA's

Beka shook her head. "It isn't sommat our instructors have need of."

Re: The TA's

"The last class, mostly Gibbs' TA's helped out with just getting papers, or being the first example of how to do something." She grinned. "Buffy and Ben had to demonstrate a street pursuit through a car wash. That looked pretty fun."

Re: The TA's

[provostsdog.livejournal.com]

"What's a car wash?" Beka asked. She understood the words separately, but the image didn't make sense.

"Hmm, it's a big building, where people drive their cars in-- you've seen those, right?" Dinah checked. "And there's huge vats of soapy bubbles, and really gigantic brushes, and lots of showers of water to clean the vehicles. We all had to chase people through it, we got pretty soaked."
