Group Rescue Squad Kappa

Cian had carefully put together a number of group rescue exercises with the opening of Semper Fi. Their rescue facilities were top notch and he wanted to use the opportunity to teach his classes a very valuable lesson. The school year was in full swing and it was time that he provided them with a big challenge. That in of itself was a big channel for Cian. He had to craft puzzles for the students to make creative use of their quirks and put them in a situation where they had t work together to complete the objective. This most important part of this class was learning to work together with people that didn't interact too much. He knew that some of the students knew each other, but he designed the groups to have from different classes. This way he could do his best to ensure they weren't too familiar with each other. It was a fun idea and he had a lot of fun putting together the courses for the students. And naturally, he couldn't help but place little mental bets on how each student was going to handle each situation.

The scenario for the final class for the final set of students was a mix of familiar and boring. It was a stage they had all seen before, one that saw daily and knew the ins and outs of. And though to disaster had hit it just yet, it was entirely possible that one day an attack would happen and this skill set would come to great use. The scenario provided by the course was a high school rescue. It was specifically designed to mimic a flood that had washed out a school in Osaka some years back. Tsunamis weren't all that common but sometimes their effects were far-reaching, Cian himself remembered what happened and watched it for the results while he was in jail. It was one of the events that spurred him to become a firefighter in the first place.

Watching what could be his family wash away in flood waters worried him far too much and he decided to move away from his more dangerous gambling habits after he was released. The students here was to rescue nine mannequins within the school that was much like the mannequins they handled in the previous rescue classes. They were to be placed on a marked off location on a wooden platform that had the student level with the second floor of the school. It was right next to the starting point the students were supposed to gather at. The entire first floor of the school was flooded with neck-high water. But unlike normal flood water, this one was clean and fresh. It was but a simple simulation after all.

One of the mannequins was floating around in the girl's locker room. I was stuck with its leg trapped in a locker door that was stuck as well. The room was slowly filling up as the flood waters rose on the entire first floor. And soon enough it would be completely underwater. It along with the other mannequins on the first floor needed to be saved pretty quickly. In about five rounds they would be completely covered in water and two rounds after that they would drown.

Another mannequin was in the middle courtyard that the school surrounded. It was an outdoor common area in the center of the school that students could walk around it. Right now, however, it was basically a big giant pool. It was completely inaccessible from the first floor and the water level wasn't high enough to reach the mannequin from the second floor. The students had to figure out some way tog et it closer to a wall and up out of the water to rescue it.

The last mannequin that was on the first floor was int he cafeteria. It was tangled in a mess of folded chairs that made it hard to move through the flooded halls and doors. As time went on, more and more chairs attached itself to the mass and after a while, the weight of all the chairs would bring the mannequin down under the surface of the water and start of have it drown.

On the roof of the three-floor school was a tall shaft like a chimney. A mannequin was tied snugly to the top of the chimney. It was out of reach and the went chimney was too slick and smooth to climb up. However, the base of the chimney was weak and the thing could be knocked over if the inside of it had some force applied to it somehow. The outside of the chimney was sturdy enough to withstand an attack, but the inside was where the instability lied.

Another mannequin was locked in a classroom. A vending machine had fallen over and blocked the door. It could be moved provided the students released the wheels that allowed the vending machine to be rolled away. To do that, the students had to solve a small puzzle on the face of the machine. A small ball needed to be moved up a slop fro one side of the panel to the other. However, the puzzle was encased with durable clear plastic with a small hole at the top. It was too small to fight a student's hand inside, so touching it was too difficult. Something else had to be used that had enough force to push the ball up the slope into the socket on the other end. Alternatively, if they had another way of forcing the vending machine away from the door, that would work as well.

On the back end of the school was some scaffolding that connected the second floor, third floor, and the roof of the school. It was an alternative path up and down the different floors. And on that scaffolding was a mannequin. Its hand was clamped between some metal on the scaffolding and it needed to be carefully removed. Since the scaffolding was weak, too much force or any kind of explosion near it would cause the whole thing to collapse with the mannequin still trapped on it.

trapped in one of the offices on the third floor was another mannequin. The door was sealed with a special puzzle, much like the one in the vending machine. A small disc sat in the corner of a wooden puzzle maze. The face of the maze was covered with a glass and the disc had to be moved through the maze without letting it touch the sides. If it did, the door would buzz and the disc needed to be placed back in the corner to reset the puzzle. The disc could be touched, but only when it was in the starting corner. The rest of the time, it had to somehow be moved without touching it until it reached the finish line of the maze. Should it make it to the end, the door would unlock and the mannequin inside could be rescued.

In a hall, a row of classroom doors were locked and couldn't be opened to be searched or checked for mannequins. In one of them, a mannequin was sitting at a desk, but that couldn't be discovered until a mechanism was set off. That mechanism was six targets scattered around the hallway. They all had to be hit in rapid succession one after the other to unlock the dors and allow the rooms to be searched.

The final mannequin was stuck int he ventilation system. All a person needed to do was navigate the small cramped space to grab the mannequin and pull it out. It would take some time to move through the space and it was quite tight, but nothing impossible. Breathing could get a little difficult because of how small the space was, so a slow pace was recommended for it.

The class will end once all mannequins are rescued and brought back to the safety zone, or time runs out (the event ends and the topics closed). This is not an exam, but a class. Students are here to learn and practice, not compete with the other squads to do things the best way. Mistakes are allowed. The important thing here is for students to learn to work together for a common goal. Aside from the stuff in this opening post, the topic and setting are free to use and proceed as you wish. If you have any questions, contact me on the discord. From this point on the student shave free reign and I will not be replying to the topic unless needed for something specific and by request. Have fun with it!
