Shop Class #4

[manofthemullet.livejournal.com]

Hey guys. Today I'm turning over the remote to Carter and she's going to be running the class today.

And *NO* that does mean you get to run amok. (I'm looking at you O'Neill!)

Show her the same respect you do me. Or in O'Neill's case more than you have for me.

Mac hands the remote to Carter and lets her explain today's assignment.

Okay, I see red, orange, blue and purple wires on the bomb. So let's start with the idea that those *points* three words go with three of those colors.

Yeah, but which three. Red is almost always a hot wire, any time you're doing anything. Seems the one thing that's universal.

Re: Class Assignment

[wraithbaitjohn.livejournal.com]

Okay, that makes sense.

You know, this was a lot easier when I had a really hot Marine demolitions expert to deal with stuff like this for me.

So... we can't touch it... even if we figure out which wire to cut, how do we get at them?

Re: Class Assignment

We just can't touch the casing. We can snip the wires with the knives. But which to cut?

Re: Class Assignment

[wraithbaitjohn.livejournal.com]

Eenie, meanie, miney, mo?

Re: Class Assignment

[12parseckessel.livejournal.com]

Yeah, right. Or we cut them all?

Re: Class Assignment

[wraithbaitjohn.livejournal.com]

Hey, there's a thought.

There's four wires. We each take two pair of scissors, one in each hand and then on 'three', we snip all four simultaneously.

What do you think?

Re: Class Assignment

[12parseckessel.livejournal.com]

Where we gonna get the extra two scissors, pal?

Look, we each get two wires in hand without touching the case and then cut in three.

Re: Class Assignment

There's gonna be a microsecond where we've both gone through one, but haven't gotten to the other yet. You want to risk that microsecond?

Re: Class Assignment

[12parseckessel.livejournal.com]

Think we're gonna have to. Might be there anyway, if you're not ambidexterous. Ready if you are.

Re: Class Assignment

[wraithbaitjohn.livejournal.com]

*decides not to mention that he *is* ambidexterous, as his partner seems dead set on this course.*

Okay, which two do you have?

Re: Class Assignment

[12parseckessel.livejournal.com]

I got the orange and the red. You counting or am I?

Re: Class Assignment

[wraithbaitjohn.livejournal.com]

Okay, so I'm blue and purple.

Of course, if this goes pear-shaped I'm gonna be a red and black smear...

*takes a deep breath*

Okay... 1...

Re: Class Assignment

[12parseckessel.livejournal.com]

2...

Han take his own deep breath and readies the scissors of the SAK.

Re: Class Assignment

[wraithbaitjohn.livejournal.com]

*scrunches up face and turns away, in anticipation of Very Bad Things happening*

THREE!

Re: Class Assignment

[12parseckessel.livejournal.com]

Han cuts his wires, still holding his breath and braced.

Re: Class Assignment

[wraithbaitjohn.livejournal.com]

*Shep cuts through the wires with one quick stroke, but remains twisted, trying to shield his face with his shoulder*

Okay...

nothing happened. Is that because we did it or because it's a simulation and Mr. MacGyver is on his way over hear to rip us a new one?
