Steath and Deception #4, Wednesday Morning, Dangershop

The students had received a handwaved e-mail to come to the Dangershop in the morning as opposed to Cafe Fina.

When the students arrived, they found themselves in the most varied landscape they had ever seen. Three kinds of forests, two kinds of swamps, a desert, two plains, a snowfield, and an urban environment.

A noticeably clean and shiny urban environment. Complete with a newspaper vending machine with a headline that read "Superman saves Metropolis from Giant Spinning Top!"


Then the students heard some cursing from the side. "How does Barbra deal with these things... wait, here we go."

The clean urban environment shimmered and was replaced by a dark, dilapidated cityscape. The newspaper headline was replaced with "Who is the Batman?"

A man stood up from the console and ran a hand through his hair. "Hi kids. I'm James Gordon, commissioner of the GCPD. I was also in the Special Forces when I was younger, so Alfred asked me to come talk to you guys about cameoflage."

He shrugged off his coat and walked over to the center of the danger room, where a table with a selection of military camouflage options in various sizes was sitting.

"The important thing to remember about camouflage," Gordon said, pushing up his glasses, "is that despite what television may tell you, there is nothing to make you disappear completely. Not even the Batman," he continued, nodding towards the newspaper vending machine, "can pull that off. All it can do is conceal you, force someone to actually look harder to find you. Ideally, you want to be harder to find than they are willing to put into looking."

Gordon looked down into his notes, pushed up his glasses again, and launched into a lecture on millitary camouflage.

"Alright then," he said. "I've got a bunch of environments up to practice on and a selection of uniforms here. Try to match the right camo to the right environment and see if you can find the best place to hide to make maximum use of the camouflage. I should have sizes for everyone here, but if you can't find something in your size, just tell me and I'll see what I can do."

He pulled out a small jar. "I also have camoflage face paint. See if you can figure out how to best use it in conjunction with your camouflage."

[[Wait for le OCD! Have fun kids! Don't break Gordon!]]

Nadia wasn't going to jump out of the shadows at Gordon. No, she intended to continue keeping low to the ground and move silently past him during his lecture to get out of class.

As you do.

Aw crap!

Roberto would be smacking her around right now for underestimating the opponent.

"Merely practicing the skills from the course, sir,"

"I'm already very much familiar with camouflage. I'm a fully trained agent for SIDE."

"SIDE. Argentine Intelligence?"

"First of all, a person is considered an adult at the age of sixteen in my country, not eighteen as it is, here. Secondly, is a seventeen year old agent really any stranger than anything the CIA has done in the name of counter-intelligence?"

"There are other things I feel I should be taking care of, right now, so yes, since I'm already rather familiar with everything you're teaching us, I'm planning to leave."

Nadia refrained from rolling her eyes. She didn't really think she had time for this since her mun's office keeps getting slammed with work, but she headed over to the table, grabbed a uniform and some face paint, and a few moments later, ducked into hiding in the desert landscape.

By the door.

Which she then headed out of.
