101 Ways To Survive In The Field, Tuesday

When the class met up, it was in an impressively huge gothic cathedral inside the Danger Shop. It was covered in candles; sunlight broke in through a large gap in the ceiling.

Atton was sitting on the steps, looking irritated. "Today's lesson was supposed to be about self-care on the job," he said, "But the Danger Shop glitched up. I swear, it's like the thing got a bug in there or something, and I can't slice it out."

He waved a vague hand towards two sets of stairs behind the class, leading down into a complicated, interconnected web of bridges and tunnels. "So this sim comes with bad guys, and they're pretty hard to handle. I'm not going to ask you to fight them. But I also don't really have a lesson plan for today, so..." He shrugged. "I want you to go down into the tunnels, avoid or dodge the bad guys, and find somewhere quiet to relax for a few moments. See, the longer you keep going out on a mission, the more tired you're going to get, the less sharp you'll be. It's vital you hunker down and take a few moments to drink and eat, or even just take stock. But the environment won't always let you."

He pointed, helpfully, at a stack of shrink-wrapped sandwiches sitting in front of him. "Take one," he said, "Then go. Good luck."
