The students today might find the Danger Shop looking a little familiar.

"Anyone who has class with me previously knows I do not believe in the contemporary concept of a final exam," Ghanima said briskly, once everyone had arrived. Again, gone were the Imperial-style gowns she usually wore, but this time, she was clad in a stillsuit and cloak, ( Read more... )

Something extremely dangerous and adrenaline pumping? Of course Four was doing this. He listened intently to the instructions--he was not planning on getting this wrong.

Face wanted to become a snubfighter pilot, of course the idea of doing something ridiculously dangerous in a sim appealed to him.

For those who simply wish to watch and cheer, Ghanima has set aside a spot with rocks to sit on, and cool beverages to beat the Dune twilight heat. Or head over after your worm-ride to sit down and realize yes, you just did that. Pass the lemonade.

The more she watched, the more she wanted to try, though...

SUMMON A WORM atreideslioness December 10 2014, 20:11:59 UTC
For those who want to try it for themselves. The Danger Shop will automatically freeze if you fall, and the hard-light hologram will dissolve before it crushes you. It is perfectly safe.
