Unblinded Science, Period Six [5/17]

Walter looks like a kid about to play one of his favorite games today. He's smiling and sipping something cold from a paper cup that has a long-handled plastic spoon sticking out of it.

There are kits set out for the students' use today. Each kit contains a strip of surgical tape, a microchip in a plastic vial, two cell phone-sized boxes that bear strange resemblances to compasses, a pair of walkie talkies, and a handout on how to triangulate.

"Since I am discouraged from actively inserting anything subdermally in students, the surgical tape will have to do," Walter announces, apropos of nothing once the students have settled themselves. He sounds a tad disgruntled, but a sip from his cup seems to help his mood.

"Today we'll be working with hands on applications of geometry, but I have been reminded that this is summer camp, so I am endeavoring to make it more jocular." Clearly Walter thinks that most things can be made jocular with the right mindset, but not everyone has his imagination.

"Today we will be playing a version of hide and seek. Break down into groups of three. Since we have 14 students, I will be in one of the groups." He nearly clapped his hands together at the prospect.

"One student will be the hider. That lucky person will tape one of the chips to the back of his or her neck and hide anywhere on the island. We'll give you..." he paused and thought about it. "A ten minute head start. You can agree among your groups whether the hider should choose a place and stay in it or whether he or she can lead you on a merry chase.

"Next week I will have a prize for all students who found their hider within three hours. Now get going!"*

[ooc: So sorry! No excuses but confusing life. Two minutes for OCD please. *He'll forget the prizes. Sorry.]

Lindsay glanced over to where Bruce was waving. "That's a neat trick you did there."

Though there was a bit of sarcasm there, she was somewhat impressed.

If he'd been in costume, he would've jumped down. But secret identity requirements (not to mention the lack of shock-absorbing Robin boots) meant that he had to climb down the less-fun way.

He made it to the ground, brushed off his hands on his jeans and gave them a sheepish grin. "Worked a little," he said.

"Briefly," Bruce said. "Let's head back to he class."

"Sounds good to me," Lindsay said. "Think the prize is something cool or lame?"

Yeah, still Bruce, even as a teenager. Tim had to smile at the familiarity. "Gold stars for each of us, probably," Tim said, heading back to the class.

He was going to have to come back and study the preserve later. Figure out how he could've done this without getting caught.
