Fandom High School

When the class arrived at the Danger Shop, it was set up to look like a small cinema.

"Good afternoon, class," Bond greeted the students. "Before we get to your final, I would just like to take a moment to express what a pleasure it has been teaching you these past few months."

"Sometimes, no amount of adaptability can help you escape a situation," he said. "However, it can help you endure an inescapable one. Such as this. I'm afraid you've been captured by a scientist with designs on world domination and very few experimental ethics. He has shot you into space, leaving you on a satellite orbiting the Earth. Now that you are up here, you are expected to take part in psychological experiments, namely watching some of the very worst movies ever to have been filmed in the hopes it will destroy your free will. Due to a design flaw in the atmospheric system, you cannot leave the theatre while the movie is playing without risking explosive decompression."

Bond looked around the room. "Today's task is to find some way to survive to the end of the film with your sense of self intact." An alarm started blaring. "And now, I believe we have movie sign."

Bond's class was meeting out by the main campfire again today.

"Good afternoon, class," he began once they had all arrived. "Today we're going to be looking at two things, resource management and networking. We'll be doing them together because, mercenary as it may sound, when dealing with an unfamiliar situation, people and your ability to network with them are a resource to be managed."

"But first we have to consider the age old question of cash or credit?" Bond took a moment to explain what exactly a credit card was to those in the class unfamiliar with the concept. "Now both of these have a number of advantages and disadvantages so the correct answer to the question varies depending on the situation. For example, you can carry more money more easily with a bank card than you can with hard currency, but in a situation where you have little to no money it's often faster and easier to obtain cash than a new line of credit. Cash is mostly anonymous, cards are traceable, but dealing in large amounts of cash looks suspicious, and nowadays it can be almost impossible to book travel without a credit card." He continued on in this vein for a while.

"Now for the rest of the class, we'll be doing a practical exercise to work on your networking skills. Find a partner. You're in a strange city, and you've managed to draw the ire the local organised crime figures, who incidentally have corrupted the city police force. You have to convince someone you've just met to give you either money or a place to hide. Without threatening them or drawing undue attention to yourself. Once you've succeeded or failed, you can swap roles."

Bond had decided to take advantage of the good weather, and was holding his class out by the main campfire today.

"Afternoon all, I'm afraid your teacher couldn't be here so he asked me to stand in for him instead. Robert Sterling, here's my card," Bond said once the class had finished arriving, offering around a stack of business cards for one R. Sterling, employee of Universal Exports, complete with contact details. "This class is called Art of Adaptation, and is all about developing the kind of skill set that will enable you to swim rather than sink when thrown into the deep end, regardless of what kind of end that is."
