Teamwork, Monday, Period 3
The students had handwavily gotten an email asking them to meet in a clearing in the woods. Sure, Jack could have programmed the Danger Shop to look like a forest, but she was a believer in going with the real thing. Even if the real thing was, frankly, grey and a little chilly.
As the students arrived, she handed each one a paintball gun and directed them toward a pile of armor. Once everyone was suited up, she began to speak. "Glad to see nobody got lost chasing a squirrel," she said. "Anyhow, so today you're going to work on battle tactics through paintball. Lucky you, the roster's balanced enough that we can do guys against girls. Girls are the red team, guys are the blue team. First team to mark everyone on the other side wins. If nobody does that, team with the most people standing at the end of the hour wins. You can play a little dirty, but I'm trusting all of you to be freaking adults with the paint guns. No shooting at super-close range, no shooting above the shoulders, no shooting an area not covered by armor. Break a rule on purpose and you get detention with me this weekend."
She quickly demonstrated how to aim and fire a gun at the trees and watched the students do the same, then: "First thing you guys need to do is pick captains. I'd say Surreal and Cade because they had so much fun last week bossing people around, but it's up to you. Captains get to help their teams come up with a strategy and then watch them play it through. Either captain notices your squad's getting too violent, come to me."
She glanced at her omni-tool. "You get 15 minutes to strategize and half an hour for the battle. Time starts now."

Re: Before Class [9/23]
Okay, so he was, but if you call him on it, he might shoot you with the paint gun before class starts.
