Abby stood at the front of the computer lab, holding a gong and mallet. The seating arrangement had each student facing another at tables with space for their laptops in between.

"Today we're going to dig deep and discover the inner hacker in all of us. You're going to race to hack into a specific site and insert a code. Whoever gets the code dropped first wins." Abby leaned forward eagerly and grinned at the students. "But that would be too boring. So you're going to pair up and fight against each other at the same time. Trace your enemy's presence in the computer system, track them and fight them. Either kick them out of the system or keep them occupied long enough that you can win."

"Rules are simple and few. The battleground is in cyberspace, it's not fair if you try to hamper your partner by throwing something at his head or giving him a wedgie. The sites that you're going to be hacking are sorta important...let's try not to bring them down. Third rule: the code you're dropping is basically my signature. It's harmless. I would prefer if that's all you left in the computer systems."

Abby sat back up on her desk and smacked the gong with the mallet. "Bang a gong, it's on!"

[ooc: This class is about interaction more than computer terminology, so handwavey computer terms are fine. It's a fight between you and your partner, so regular fight rules apply. You can direct an attack...not an outcome. If Willow throws a virus at Mac, it's up to Mac to decide whether she got kicked offline. If you want your character to get info from the sites, that's fine. Abby doesn't mind if you snoop, just don't break the system...she'll be watching out for that.]

Pick a partner and then choose which site you're going to hack.

Zack looked around for a partner.

"Not the FBI." Broots introduced himself.

"Why not the FBI?" Zack asked.

Broots rubbed at the back of his neck. "Because I got sent here for hacking into their website?"

"I can see why you wouldn't want to risk them. How about the CIA then?"

Broots grinned. "CIA sounds great."

"Shall we then? (http://community.livejournal.com/fandomhigh/943410.html?thread=48906802#t48906802)"

For the fun of it, Willow looked to see if Bridge felt like partnering up with her.

Bridge gives Willow a thumbs-up. "So, which site should we go after?"

"Not NASA, I think," Willow said. "They are nerds like us. Plus I'd have fear of accidently crashing the Space Shuttle."

"No, definitely not NASA," Bridge agrees. "They kinda have a history with helping out the Rangers in my reality. CIA maybe?"

"Think their system will actually present a challenge?" Willow asked.

"I dunno," Bridge shrugs. "But I don't wanna hack the FBI either. S'too close to what SPD is. It'd be weird."

"How about NCIS?" Willow asked. "If they're Abby's people she must've helped them out with their computer system. So it'd be like taking her on too."

"Sure," Bridge says with a bounce. "You're on!"

"See you there (http://community.livejournal.com/fandomhigh/943410.html?thread=48770098#t48770098)!" Willow said.

Cally sits patiently, hoping someone will offer to partner up with her.

[ooc: Worky slow play, as always]

Conner had his new laptop with him today, and hadn't yet checked his loaner back in. Upon hearing the assignment, though, he decided to stick with the loaner until the end of class. Sliding the case with his shiny new laptop under his desk, he booted up the loaner and considered his options as far as someone to work with. He was really distracted today, though.
