Shop Class: 12/1

Upon entering the Danger Room Shop, you'll find that Mac has set it up to look like an abadoned mine which has recently caved in.

"Today's assignment? Using the elements around you, find a way to escape from the collapsed mine entrance."

Mac pauses a second before saying: "Try not to blow yourself up this time O'Neill."

Completely oblivious to the mullet fluffing, Sam watched the lint fall to the ground in a straight line. No breeze. "Shoot."

After some thought, she grabbed one of the pulleys from where it was hanging along the side of the mine shaft. It came with a rope attached. She stood on one end of the rope and pulled up on the other, checking its sturdiness.

Satisfied with the rope, she used a pickaxe and cart rail spike to seat the pulley into the wall. She then looped the other end of the rope around one of the fallen wooden mine supports by the door and tied a series of clove hitches.

She pulled on the loose end of the rope (the one hanging in the pulley), and eventually (after a lot of grunting, groaning, cursing, and sweating) lifted the support out of the way just enough for her to crawl through , making her suddenly thankful she was still tall and scrawny.
