[Event] If you want to get out alive...

Those that sleep will awaken to a pitch black room with nothing but the faint red glow of the emergency lighting. This glow seemed to frame the ceiling of the room and gradually pulsate between a dimmer glow to a glow almost bright enough to read by then back down again. Every electronic device in the entire academy, dorms, and general building on the SHIELD grounds would display a black DOS-like screen with bright crimson lettering that read a simple, cryptic message.

SYSTEM ERROR
LOCKDOWN MODE INITIALISED

NEW MESSAGE



Activating the new message brings up another black screen with a mostly legible message to the students of SHIELD Academy. This ominous message doesn't seem to be salvageable by even the most brilliant of computer programmers. The file is just corrupt and there is nothing that can be done for it. It's a wonder the thing opened at all, to be honest.

Those that didn't sleep would have found the lights had suddenly gone off around 0400. Shortly following the assumed harmless power outage, the usually white glowing strips lining the edges of every room would have faded to a red that indicated a warning. The red lettering on the screens would have followed after that and finally, a good ten minutes into the disquieting silence, the blue message alert appeared. They would have found their doors locked, and the windows all barred by solid adamantium panels.

There is no riddle to be had here, no teacher seems to be present to consult. The students were alone, required to rely on eachother, their own cunning, and their unique abilities.

For those poor souls trapped in the Hazard Room, well... just don't make any sudden movements. The training protocols seem to still be active. Fortunately, they are set on moderate difficulty. You had been looking to hone your skills and blow off a little steam. Well, you just got your wish.

Mod Notes: Treat this post like a mingle-log. OOC plotting can be found here.

Targets and Weaponry: SHIELD bots come in a variety of sizes from no more than a foot in height to nearly four feet and come armed with a plethora of weapons designed to subdue and capture. Weapons designed specifically to counter the abilities of those that live here, just in case they lose control.

Small built-in turrets keep hidden behind sleek panels in the ceilings of most hallways and in the ground outside. These turrets fire wide range of power nullifying munitions as well as good old fashioned taze rounds.

Targeting sensors on all the machines and turrets use facial recognition to identify each student. Their powers and weaknesses are recorded in the main SHIELD database, which it refers to and decides the best course of action.

"No idea," Billy called back blasting another bot with lightening and barely dodging out of range from another one. "We need to try to get that door open."

"Leave that to me," said Blackfire. "The room's durable enough to even handle one of my punches, but I might be strong enough to force the door open. Cover me."

A door, after all, was only as strong as it hinges or other mechanisms designed to keep it closed. All she had to do was find the weakest point and test that. ...while being fired at. Okay, so maybe it wouldn't be that easy, but she couldn't let her confidence slip. Supreme confidence was key to using her superhuman strength to its full potential.

Getting to the door, she planted her feet down firmly and started trying to force it open with grit teeth. Her eyes were glowing.

"When I find out who the clorbag valblernek who pulled this stupid stunt is, I'm going to have words with them. Rude ones. It'll take a while. I know a lot of languages."

Billy covered her, throwing a quick forcefield shield up around her and fending off any of the bots that started to roll their way. He wasn't used to using his magic like this and it was already getting a bit tiring.

"How's it coming?"

Even with repeating a mental mantra in her head of I am the strongest. I'm the best fighter. I'm the smartest. I'm the most powerful. and so on to try to give herself that extra boost of supreme confidence needed to open the door, it was taking a lot of exertion. Slowly but surely she began prying it open.

"Slowly, but I'm managing it. What's the plan? Escape and find out who's responsible for this?"
