Oh look, still no exotic locations. The students walking through the Danger Shop doors found themselves in the library. Yes, that library. It was empty aside from the Doctor who was sitting on the collections desk, legs swinging over the edge. There were a few lamps on around the library and moonlight coming in the windows, suggesting it was late at night in here rather than 11am like it was outside.

Once everyone was gathered and the doors were closed, the Doctor leapt off the desk. "Sometimes," the Doctor started, pacing around in the well-lit areas, "you end up somewhere you're not expecting to be. Happens to me all the time. For some of you, even being here is somewhere you're not expecting to be. Wait. Sorry." He paused. "I forgot to say hello. Hello! Very rude of me. As I was saying, you don't always expect to walk head first into a problematic situation. Usually you won't be the only one there. Sometimes you'll be able to leave when others can't.

You have a choice." He looked around at them. "Fight or flight. You could take your leave, walk out and that's a perfectly reasonable solution to the problem. Of course, you'll be leaving everyone else to their own fate. Or you could always choose to stay, putting your life in immediate danger, but you could find out what's going on and help the people around you. Your choice. Make it now."

"I've got the whole layout of the school memorized," Parker said. "Including the duct system." And the security system layout as well. It was part of what she did for fun -- figuring out the best way to handle theoretical break in jobs.

"The ducts." His eyes narrowed. "In the walls, yes? Good. We may need that. Hallways and stairs may be better, easier to light. Is this thing in all shadows?" he asked. For some reason, he felt a bond with her. "Do you know what a generator is? I do not." At least this class was good for having the boy thief admit to things beyond his ken.

"The generator provides power for the lights, heating, security systems... All of that stuff. I think the problem is we can't tell if it's in any given shadow," Parker said. "You might get lucky, but you might get ripped to shreds.

"If we had a steady supply of chicken bones..." He grabbed a chair and broke it, grabbing the long piece of wood that formed the back and leg. "Feeler stick. We need lights. Chair legs wrapped in cloth soaked in lamp oil. Only..." He looked around. "No lamps. Or oil. We need a steady flame, hand held." He searched around for something that could make torches or make light.
