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."

"Is it cheating if we get Bel to open it?"

Elizabeth giggled. "Personally, I'd say no."

"I vote for Bel opening it! Check to see if there's more smoke coming out the bottom!"

Peter shook his head and slowly pushed the hatch open just a crack to reveal...the room on the other side.

"I think it looks good, all," he said, slowly pushing the hatch fully open.

"That was going to be my suggestion too." Tim said. "And maybe I'm being paranoid but I'd expect some sort of catch here."

"I dunno." Pippi said, "that seems more like a Miss Becky thing to do."

Tim nodded. "Ah."
