[meepmeepmeep]

Well, the attempt on Stark's maker space during the party had gone...less well...for Beaker. So! Back to the drawing board!

Today, the class would be able to interpret from the props objects around the Danger Shop, was devoted to being able to launch yourself through a window. There were scale model pieces if you didn't want to risk life and limb and a Gonzo-sized motorcycle if you were, well, Gonzo.

There were also windows (without glass, Beaker had some sense of safety) to try to launch yourselves through--and fire suppressant foam to cover you in when you succeeded.

Because that's what happened when Beaker got onto that floor on Friday.

"Meep meep meep!" Beaker said when his all-meep explanation of the activity had been completed.

Beta... was actually taking this project kind of seriously today, because this seemed like exactly the kind of thing Erend would enjoy. Except they really needed him in one piece if he was going to round up support for them from the Carja and Oseram, so... well, the idea of trying to find a safe way to do this seemed like an interesting challenge.

This mostly consisted of her hands flying through the air as she ran all kinds of frenetic calculations on her Focus, and a lot of muttering along the lines of "no, that's not it, risk is too high."

Probably not Beaker's preferred MO, being that risk-averse, but oh well.
