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.

"Buffy, I don't think—" Xander was just about to toss back a warning of his own when his best friend went all Incredible Hulk on the shower. The pipe and part of the old tile work wrenched free of the wall and Harris winced, positive that the shuddering noise rattling through the pipes would be accompanied by rushing water gushing forth from the newly-made hole.

He shot his friend a look, something that said he was thankful that neither of them were facing drowning at the moment, and then pulled the trash can from its spot along the wall, tossing the lid aside so she had somewhere to throw the extra material.

"It's a shame we don't have Thor's hammer," Xander added, almost conversationally; it doesn't take much for him to be okay with an idea, specifically if it meant that he wasn't getting piped through or drained of all of his blood. "Were you thinking we'd just go through?" He waved his hand for the shower head. "If so, let me have a whack at it, I've always wanted to be in demolitions."

He didn't know what was on the other side of that wall, but as far as he was concerned, it was as good as freedom and they weren't really ones to be easily stopped.

Buffy took a step back, more than happy for Xander to be all manly and have a go at bringing down a wall. After a few loud whangs, she pointed to a crumbly bit where the handles pulled through.

"You should take that part out. There's some rust." Hey, anything to help out a friend whilst escaping a bathroom. She glanced up at the ceiling, wondering what was going on above.

Hey, he was a big, strong man, wasn't he? Even if Buffy's always been tougher, pound for pound, thank anyone Xander knew. This sort of help allowed him to feel useful and that's really all that matter when you think about it. It was when he was akin to dead weight that the young man wanted to crawl under a rock and never come out again.

"You don't think we're going to get in trouble for this, do you?" he asked, watching Buffy for a second before striking the wall again. "I mean, we're trapped in here and there's a good chance we could die. They don't want a lawsuit on their hands just as much as we don't want to die down here," Harris reasoned. As far as he was concerned, threatening to call a lawyer was always a good move when willful destruction of property was going on the rap sheet.
