Class met in the Danger Shop, which had been programmed to resemble a rural part of Tuchanka. Ash and rubble were scattered on the reddish ground, and yellow smog hazed the uncomfortably hot air. Decaying buildings rose in the distance. Only a few thick-stemmed plants grew, and even they looked sick.

The only shelter in the immediate area was offered by an open-sided canopy, under which the class gathered. A rickety-looking Kodiak Drop Shuttle was parked on the ground a few meters to their left.

"Welcome to old-school Tuchanka, kids," Jack said jauntily once everyone was assembled. "Where you shouldn't drink the water and even the damn plants want to kill you. Your team project for today is to make a plan and then work together to get us out of this place. That's your ride off the planet" -- she nodded to the shuttle -- "but the hitch is, it's busted. Mass effect field controls went haywire. You can either rig together a fix from what you find here or sweet-talk the Krogans into helping you out. Good luck with that second one."

She hit a button on her omnitool, pulling up a hologram of a Krogan soldier in full combat gear. "This is a Krogan. We're pretty far from the population center, but there are still a couple military patrols that should swing by. Be careful with those. Krogans get mad easy, and they aren't real big on thinking before they shoot. But they do have the tech to get our combat cockroach off the ground."

Normally Barry would just jump right in and start fixing the damn thing but...

Teamwork.

"Right. So. Planning," Barry said keeping an eye on those armored... chicken lizard things. "Obviously we need to figure out what's not working in the ship and prioritize the repairs. Any other thoughts?

"Maybe someone or a few people should keep an eye out for any incoming hostiles?" Kathy suggested. "I mean, there might not be anything hostile out there, but there's no guarantee..."

Which meant she absolutely didn't trust her teachers not to include something like that while everyone was focused on putting the shuttle back together.

"I can keep guard," Eleanor offered. "I doubt I know much of how to fix a spaceship, anyway."

She was fairly good with alarm droids, but hyperdrives ought to be left to people like Barry.

"I was pretty much thinking the same thing," Kathy said, giving Eleanor a slight smile. "I figure it's that or offer to fetch things for people who know more."

"I'm unfamiliar with this technology," Jalian said after looking it over. "Do we have the equipment to determine what's not working, or will we need to get it?" She eyed the krogan dubiously.

"I can figure out what does what given enough time," Barry said bouncing a little on his feet. "And what we'll need. I won't say no to anyone who knows alien technology though."

"I can't tell you how it works, but the tech's from Earth," Jack told him. "No supplies you can't get here or anything, even if some of it hasn't been invented yet. Does that help any?"

"I know human and Corvichi space-time technology," Jalian said. She eyed Barry a little dubiously, but he had seemed to be fairly intelligent so far. "If I know the principles, I can fix it."
