Working Together, Monday, Period 3

Class was held in the Danger Shop today, which was programmed to look like a large warehouse full of crates and boxes. After suitable time to let the students gather, the lights flickered off and the instructor's voice came over the loudspeaker. Jack herself was nowhere to be seen.

"When the lights come on, a bunch of husks are gonna show up," she intoned. "They're mean, they ain't cute, and they fall apart like wet tissue paper with a good headshot. Guns and ammo will be by the door where you came in or use whatever other powers you have. I'm watching. And I have popcorn."

"Oh, and before you wet yourselves, this is all one big sim, so don't freak that you're gonna get killed for real."

And then the lights came back on, revealing the promised husks. They groaned a bit before charging straight at the students.

Welcome to Fandom High, boys and girls. Don't worry, the teacher will explain her point later.

"I'm Cade," Cade said. "This is my last year and I have training in shooting things that are trying to kill me. Since I'm still alive, I think I'm pretty good at not getting dead."

"Yeah, you kind of kicked ass out there," Jack said. "Ever fought anything like that before?"

"I've fought things that swarm," Cade said, "but mine were smarter than that. Is their only tactic to overwhelm with numbers?"

"Pretty much," Jack said. "They come up fast and they hit hard, so they do better with it than you'd think. But they tend to hang around with other guys way more effective than they are."

"They'd have to," Cade said with a little smirk. "They'd be extinct otherwise."

"Believe it or not, they used to be people," Jack explained. "Bad guys use tech to turn their captives into husks. So, lucky for them, they don't have to figure out how to breed."

Cade winced. "So killing them is really doing them a karking favor."

"I know it's what I would want if I ended up like that," Jack said.

"That a possibility here?" Cade asked. "Weirder things have happened..."

Jack shrugged. "Races that made and used the tech are pretty damn dead as far as we know," she said. "But like you said. Stranger things have happened."
