HIDING BEHIND TREES 101
Who: Olimar and Tactical Stealth students (also lurkers)
What: In which Olimar pretends to know how to do a class activity for Tactical Stealth, thanks to Otacon
Where: Outside Smash Academy, near the campus
When: BACKDATED to September 17th, 2009. Afternoon.
Warnings: How should I know? Your characters all have filthy mouths. >:[ Explosions, fire, burnt off eyebrows and the beautiful bond between a Fonzie-ripoff and a... a Max.
The Tactical Stealth's class had been moved from Snake's classroom to a relatively broad long outside area on/near the campus. Building walls, many trees, thick shrubbery and gardens prevented the field from being open space. It resembled that of an obstacle course, with many objects played in the way and paths that led to dead ends. Some segments were narrow, while others remained fairly open. (Not including trees and bushes)
Olimar had spent the entire week reminding himself that he had NO IDEA what real tactical stealth was like. At first, the class was going to be canceled in a realistic solution that it was an unsuitable subject for him. That would be giving up though... Well, and because everyone else had messed up their positions. Besides, he was an almost convincing liar and would use this opportunity to play out a class activity he would find fun. With each idea popping into his mind, it almost didn't matter.
"Good afternoon, Tactical Stealth students!" he greeted as he clapped his hands together for the attention, "My name is Olimar, and I will be your teacher for today. Now, you may have, or have had, me for Biology. I, too, was affected by the sudden and absurd switch in staff positions. I'm sure this whole ordeal with be handled by the end of this week!"
An awkward and uneasy silence was followed by a cough. The entire outdoors had been placed and planned, with some help on the side and from whatever supplies was to be found in school. (Most of the work, however was with the assistance of Otacon and his mechanical genius. ...Not that he asked for anything spectacular or difficult, in fact he just tweaked and added something)
"The class will divide up individually to take turns, then proceed through the elaborate obstacle course I had conceived for today's lesson. Your mission to collect a valuable item of sorts, a treasure if you will. Of course, we're going to use a flag for the sake of weight and simplicity. Make sure you REMEMBER to examine the territory and your surroundings with vigilance."
"There are quite a handful of robots paroling the paths, each with a decent ability to pick up sound and movement. If you are caught, they will send off a rather audiable 'alarm' and your turn will be over. Then it will be the next person's turn. Yes, even if you do have the flag and are caught, you will wait in the penalty line. Once enough people have gone through, you may try again."
((Yes, those robots and many other things were just taken from Snake's first class, and tweaked thanks to Otacon))
He took a few slow steps across the class, going about as quietly as possible. While he was much better at this as a Hocotatian and never really had to use it much, it was a skill. He stopped, "Grass is a precariously noisy terrain, and it takes cautious and planning footwork to move about it. Your cover may be blown from being too rash and distracting. In the wilderness, many predators master a way of moving through the tallest of greenery. A wild cat will make every step as silent and stealthy as the last, waiting for its unalarmed prey to come into sight. While your first lesson tested stealth in general, today's will focus on the outdoor spectrum. There are many trees, bushes and miscellaneous obstacles you may use to blend in your setting. Of course, you're on a mission and can't spend too much time hiding."
Taking out a timer, it was about time to wrap things up, "In short, you will have five minutes to capture and bring back the flag at the end of the coarse, making it the next student's turn and the process will repeat. I will be moving the flag's location every time. The transitioning periods should be brief, but you may have to wait. If the time runs up during the 'mission', the turn will be over. In edition to using stealth, this will also test your efficiency and speed. Considering the size of this course, that should be enough time and provide everyone a chance to go through at LEAST once. The machines will change up their patrols and occasionally may go looking for you. There are also 'landmines' scattered throughout the field and dirt, for those who thought it may have been a quieter route. ...Okay, so I asked Otacon for a substitute of sorts. It's actually not a landmine at all, but a trigger that weakly resembles its shape. It will also send off noise and end your turn. I am in complete charge of everyone's safety, and have specifically had this day in mind as a fun and harmless exercise."
"Be sure to thank Otacon at some point today, and please, try to have fun!"
((OBSTACLE COURSE! Go through a bunch of shit and robots and trees to find out where the flag is. Grab it and make your way back. Pretty easy huh? You can make a thread of your turn once I put that part of the post in. I would have made a map, but I can't draw today and I would need to consult our official one. 8( It is basically around the school's outside and near a tree and bush ridden field. Everyone is grouped at the same starting point, but Olimar will let people who already went stay in a different line. That way, new people can go, as if this were real time. Thanks Pix for Otacon permission!))
