fandomhigh | Shop Class: [1/9]

As the students enter into the Danger ~~Room~~ Shop, they'll see that it has been transformed into a scrapyard, filled with various mechanical machines, scrap metal etc.

A section of the Junkyard has been put aside for the typical tools you would find in a metal/wood shop.

"Morning Kids. Before we do anything else, we will go over The Rules of the Danger Shop."

After the rules have been gone over, Mac then does Roll Call to make sure everyone is there. Then Mac walks everyone through the safety percautions and techniques to use any of the shop tools.

When that is complete, Mac rolls out a cart that has ground coffee and various types of coffee filters.

Today we are going to build a coffee machine.

To do this you must:
1. Fashion a container and device to boil water
2. Fashion a device to filter water through the coffee grounds
3. Fashion a device to receive the coffee

Notes: There are no Coffee Brewers or Percolators in the Junk Yard. I know. I fixed them. If you find a device that will heat the coffee (hotplate etc), chances are it is broken and you must take the time to fix it. Shop equipment cannot be used as functioning part of the coffee maker. Only to build it.

Sam hunted around the scrapyard and returned with a large glass beaker, a battered metal pot, a fine grade metal sieve, a small metal stand, a piece of flint and one of shale, and about thirty-six mostly used cans of Sterno.

She scraped the Sterno remains into one of the cans, then used the rocks to strike a spark to light the sterno. Once that had been accomplished (it took at least five minutes to get a good spark going), she slid the can under the small metal stand. She put the beaker of water over the flame until it boiled.

While she was waiting for the water to boil, she placed the sieve in the pot, then laid the filter into the sieve and scooped the coffee grounds into the filter.

She poured the boiling water over the grounds and waited for it to drip through. It took a while, but looked mostly drinkable.

Mac looks over and beams at his TA ~~of doom~~. "Best looking cup of joe yet. You going to drink it?"

Sam thought about that for a second. "Sure, why not? I just need a cup. Anyone else who wants some is welcome."

Mac pulled up a coffee mug and handed it to Carter.

"Drink it black and you get an A+. Don't worry, I've got the clinic on speed dial."

Sam squared her shoulders and poured herself half a mug. She took a sip, and grimaced. It was a bit gritty and stronger than she was used to. Not to mention stale. Daniel would probably love it.

She made another face and put the mug down. "Mmm."

Mac gave Carter an appraising look.

"You going to be okay? You want me to build a stomach pump?"

Sam walked over to her bag and pulled out a bottle of water. She took a couple of gulps.

"Yeah, I'll be fine. I think." She held a hand against her stomach and may have paled a bit. "No stomach pump necessary, but I think I had too much faith in my own abilities. Ugh."

John's across the room, laughing a little.

"None of my coffee, Sam?" John asks, offering the oil pan.

"Not unless you go first," Sam said, sweetly.

"Ah, but the TA is supposed to set an example for us newbies," he goads. "Show us how it's done!"

"Hey, I drank my coffee," Sam smirked, still rubbing her stomach a little. "It's your turn now."

"I had a big breakfast," John lies and pats his stomach. "Couldn't eat or drink another bite. Do it for me?"

"No way."

"What about my coffee?" Victor offered. He closed the pot bottom and waited for the funel to stop dripping. As he leaned in close, he smelled something like a plastic-covered coffee bean. "I think it's okay..."

Sam leaned over and sniffed the coffee. If possible, she turned a little more green from the smell of plastic coffee beans. "Er, I'm sorry, but my own coffee isn't setting so well. I probably shouldn't have any more."

She studied the green boy. "We haven't met. I'm Sam Carter."

"Victor Borkowski," he replied with a smile. "Um, thanks for trying to help me earlier. I don't know what happened," he said with a blush.

"Hi, Victor," Sam smiled back. "And don't worry about it. As long as you're okay, that's the important part."
