There was a note on the door of the Danger Shop directing the students to follow the marked path to a clearing where the Doctor was waiting. A hole had been dug and a small marker placed. A container that could have been made of plastic, but was probably made of something much stronger and technologically advanced, sat in the hole ( Read more... )

The town of Tombstone looked a heck of a lot like it was straight out of a Western. The buildings lined Main Street, the central point of the town being the saloon. Horses were tied up at several points along the street, minding their own business. The one noticeable thing that differed from the other simulations the class had been through was that ( Read more... )

Last week's inventor's workshop was replaced with the inside of a large animal fur tent. It was noticeably cold, but there were furs around if you needed them. Flamed torches brought the only light, illuminating the large throne at one end of the tent.

The Doctor gave a warning before he allowed the students to approach. "Genghis Khan this week. ( Read more... )

Students arriving for class today would find themselves in the Danger Shop which looked a good deal like the workshop of Leonardo Da Vinci. That's because it was a recreation of Leonardo Da Vinci's workshop. Models dangled from the ceiling, candlelight added some illumination to the sunlight streaming in from the large windows ( Read more... )

"Okay, so this week was meant to be in time of Will Shakespeare and Queen Elizabeth - the First - but I couldn't get Will quite right, so change of plans. The concept is the same. Sometimes it's aliens. You get that. Welcome to 10 Downing Street in London. Well, Westminster in London if you want to get technical. It's the residence and offices of ( Read more... )

"Listen closely," the Doctor said once everyone had gathered inside the Danger Shop that looked like a classroom, "because this could be the most important history lesson you'll ever learn. People make mistakes. People in power make even bigger mistakes. Sometimes they're small, insignificant, and sometimes they affect so many people you can't even ( Read more... )

"Welcome back!" the Doctor said as he met the students in the Danger Shop. This week, it looked like a dockside. "Glad to see you're all in one piece. Well, more or less. Good work on not getting killed in Japan during the last class. I know you have parents and guardians and all those people you'd rather be avoiding coming soon, so let's keep this ( Read more... )

Upon entering the Danger Shop, the students were greeted with a door and a whiteboard. The messy writing, all in capital letters, read

'GO THROUGH THE DOOR ALONE OR IN PAIRS. MAKE FRIENDS. DON'T GET KILLED. WHEN THE PROGRAM FREEZES, YOU CAN LEAVE.

THE DOCTOR'

The Doctor wasn't present, but chances were he was around somewhere.

"The events of the past don't always match up with what's written in history books. Someone I once knew said 'history is written by the victors' but that's not always true. Sometimes it's written by the people who couldn't comprehend what really happened, so they made it up or tried to reconcile what really happened with what makes sense in their ( Read more... )

"Okay, change of plan." He'd given up working on this week's program in exchange for trying to figure out how exactly he'd become a woman. He got carried away. "Genghis Khan will join us later in the semester. Instead, after yesterday's little oddity, let's talk about that. Pick a historical event that you know of. Doesn't have to be on Earth or ( Read more... )
