Shop Class #5

[manofthemullet.livejournal.com]

MacGyver sits underneath the console working with a mess of wiring and cursing. Well cursing in an FCC approved way. There are a lot of "Fudges", "Darns" and "Damns"

"Where the heck is Kitty? She was supposed to help with this yesterday." Mac mutters as he flips a switch.

Suddenly the Danger room switches between multiple scenes in rapid fire sequence

* Robots that look like bizarre salt & pepper shakers with screeching voices yell "Seek! Kill! Destroy"
* A Spaceship bridge that looks something like a hotel lobby. A bald man pulls on his red and black uniform tunic and says "Warp factor 10. Engage!"
* Four kids and funny looking dog sit in front of a tied up monster in a cheesy costume. They yank off the mask and the tied up man says "I would have gotten away with it too, if it wasn't for those lousy kids."
* A beach scene. The waves crash against the beach. Tropical music fills the air. A woman in a bikini sits in a deck chair. Upon closer inspection the woman looks supsiciously familiar. Like a woman who dreams of a fiery apocalypse created by rob-

Mac yanks the power to unit and the room turns back to normal.

"Uh... Yeah. Today's assignment is to write a one hundred word essay on the many uses of duct tape. Turn it in before you leave class."

Mac leaves paper and pencils for everyone to write with and heads off to the supply room for some alone time with his mullet.

((If you want to write an essay, that would be great. Otherwise: *Wrote Essay* response is fine.))

Mac is under the console making adjustments with his Swiss Army Knife.

"Well I was trying to integrate a program into the Danger Shop routine and it kind of went kerplooie. As for where Kitty is, I don't know. She was supposed to be here to-"

Sparks shoot from the console and Mac's mullet gets a little singed. Mac pats out his mullet and continues tinkering.

"-today. I didn't get a call from her saying she wouldn't be here which is totally unlike her. Then again parent weekend took its toll on everyone. I wouldn't be surprised if she forgot."

"What kind of program?" She crouched down and tried to get a good view under the console. "I don't really know much about the technology, but I'm happy to help out if I can."

Sam fell over backwards when Mac's mullet caught on fire, but aborted her instinctive rise and run for the fire extinguisher when she saw the mullet was safe if a little shorter and not quite as fluffy.

"I haven't seen her lately, but we don't really run in the same circles, so I didn't think about it."

Mac smiles despite the smell of burning hair. "Oh the program? Can't tell you know. I'm running detention this weekend and I don't want anyone to know about it just yet."

Mac sighs as he tinkers some more with the console.

"I think that should take care of the issue, but if you run into Kitty will you let her know I'm looking for her?"

"You'll have to tell me about it afterwards, then, since I don't think I have detention this week."

She nodded. "I'll keep an eye out for her, and pass the word along if I see her."
