Shop Class #2

[manofthemullet.livejournal.com]

As the students walk in, Mac is busy tinkering with a remote control car. He looks up and smiles and gestures to...


Surrounding the room are a series of small bank vaults.

"Today kids we are going to see how you guys do pulling a houdini. You are all going to be tied up with rope and locked in a bank vault that is currently under constuction. Your goal is to get out of the ropes and break out of the vault. If you wish to partner up with someone you may, or you can work on your own."

Each of the vaults have:
safety deposit boxes - filled with typical stuff you would find there
An oxygen tank
A toolbox with your standard tools
A drill ((Not able to penetrate vault door, walls or lock. Can puncture safety deposit box locks))
A chair
((No power tools available. No cutting torches or welding equipment feel free to add anything you might find in a bank vault))
Of course you will have your virtual Swiss Army Knife and Duct tape with you.



For next Tuesday, you will be required to make a homemade smokescreen to use as a means to escape detection. Please make a list of the items you require and we will replicate it here in the Danger Room Shop.

Sam? I want you to come up with an in-class assignment for next Thursday.

Kitty? Please arrange a time to work with Cally to train her on to use the Danger Room Shop Technology.


Open Shop/Office Hours are here today from 12-4. ((Please post in the appropriate response below.))

Mac has returned to the tinkering of the remote control car.

"Sure thing Sam. Everything okay?"

"Oh, yeah, everything's okay," she shrugged. "I, um, just wanted to know if I could have your permission to keep the Harley I'm restoring here in the shop over the winter. I'm keeping it in the junkyard right now, but it's going to start getting cold soon."

She paused, then said, "I also wanted to thank you for the TA job. I kind of made a mess of things on Tuesday, so I'm sorry for that. But what exactly are my duties? Other than flattering the mullet, of course."

Mac nods.

"I think we have enough room in the supply closet to store your Harley. You're welcome to work on it here during Open Shop hours as well."

"As for your responsibilities as a TA, I'd like you to work with the students whenever possible if they get stuck trying to solve a solution. If I'm not available for class, I'll need you to cover for me and make sure no one harms themselves. I'd also like you to come up with your own class assignments every other week or so. I'll let you run the assignment with my supervision. You should probably also get with Kitty so you can be trained on how to use the Danger Shop. How does that sound?"

((OOC:Also I'll be going out of the country sometime in Jan/Feb timeframe for two weeks so I'll need you to cover me for classes.))

Sam smiled. One thing off her list of things to worry about. "Thank you, Mac. I really appreciate it."

"Good. It's good to know what you expect from me ahead of time. Any hints on the class assignments? And I was going to try and bribe Kitty anyway..."


((OOC: Okay. Just remind me, please. I have a brain like a sieve sometimes.))

"Oh just come up with a seemingly impossible task and come up with a list of items that students can use to escape the situation."

((I'll give you plenty of warning. Before I'll leave I'll give you a list of classes to follow. I may have another professor sit it to supervise, but you will run the class.))

"Seemingly impossible task. List of items. Check."

Now all she had to do was brainstorm by next Thursday.

((OOC: Thanks.))
