Leadership/Outdoorsmanship, Thursday Morning, Danger Room

[harringtongreen.livejournal.com]

The Danger Room was somewhat non-descript this week, with a small, plain anteroom leading to a single door. Admiral Harrington stood before that door, Nimitz perched on her shoulder; Andrew LaFollet was lurking nearby, as well as someone the admiral's tactics students would recognize. Her tone that morning was professional and detatched, if a little stiff, and Nimitz's ears were almost completely flattened against the back of his head.

Before she spoke, Honor reached up and scratched the treecat's lower jaw, and he relaxed somewhat. She then turned her attention to the class. "Good morning," she said. "I hope each of you had a good weekend. Today will be a relatively short exercise. Once you complete it, you are welcome to leave.

"Behind me, you will find a door. Inside that door is a maze. It's not your everyday maze, however; it's been designed as an egress chamber. The walls are black and lighting is below minimal; there will be manufactured smoke, as well as a little heat. Your job should you decide to accept is to get everyone through the chamber.

"At the end of the chamber, there is an escape hatch. You must then get everyone through the hatch and to safety. Mac has set up a table on the other side with water, coffee, tea, and some quick breakfast items if any of you are interested.

"Any questions?" She waited a moment, prepared to answer any questions. That done, she added, "Then let's be about it. This message will not self-destruct in 5 seconds."

Re: Egress Chamber

Keeping his hand on the left wall, Bel led the way around the turn and down the hall. He made sure Peter was close behind and kept his senses alert for tracking where Elizabeth was.

Another left, and they hit a dead end. Still following the left wall, Bel backtracked and took the first left he came to from that direction.

Eventually they reached the door. Please to be ignoring the Bel-thread from earlier, since he went back into the maze after that. Hooray! Now what?

"We open it?" Tim suggested. He'd thought about asking Bel if he could have lit the way with a fireball, but mun's apparently the only one without a desk job with access to the internet, or else it's a time zone thing thought that might be cheating.
