[h3]Stranded at Sea[/h3][/center]

Estelle listened to the remarks of her students. Gratia wanted to know why she was teaching the class when she had, just last week been a student. Emerald was making grand gestures and the cupcakes were [i]killing[/i]. 

Point Stella, that’s for sure.

[color=#6050DC] “Ms. Mindaro, Ms. Felicia I’m going to have to ask for the floor back. I’m glad to hear you’re enthusiastic, Emerald. And Gratia I am not my sister, I’m going to have to ask that you wait to be called to ask a question. If you’d like to take up my employment status with Beacon, please let me know during my office hours and we’ll both speak with Professor Ozpin.”[/color] She spoke confidently, she was determined to get this right on the first try. She wasn’t going to falter with her students, which lead her to the lesson.

[color=#6050DC] “If there are no further questions, I’ll ask that you please leave your seats and join me in this apparatus behind me.”[/color] She said, leading them to a door in the side of the lecture hall. It opened up to the massive room that the front of the lecture hall gazed out into. It was easily the size of a football field with massive ceiling as well. [color=#6050DC] “This is the best technology that Beacon can buy so you’ll have to trust me that what you’re about to experience will feel completely real.”[/color] Stella began.

[color=#6050DC] “But it will not be,”[/color] she walked out in front of the class, who had formed a group in front of the entrance facing Stella who was near the front of the room. [color=#6050DC] “You see this room is controlled by a panel at the front of our class. It can simulate just about any circumstance so your time in Survival will not be spent learning the theory of making a fire for if you get shipwrecked, it will provide you with the experience of that.”[/color] She noted. A simple Grimm spawned in beside her it stood completely still like a blank slate, it lacked the usual look of malice that they had, regarding more like a common dog, granted still as twisted as the Grimm usually were. It took the form of a Beowolf.

It took a second but soon it began to mimic the usual motions of the Grimm variant exactly, snarling, circling around Stella. And as it charged her, she let out a right hook that caught it directly in the jaw, smashing it backwards.

[color=#6050DC] “The system is advanced enough to know when you’d make contact and if you’d die if the situation was real. Those who die during a test will fail the course, so make sure you take these workshops to learn the tools you will need to survive.”[/color] Stella explained, it was a strict curriculum, but the lessons needed to be learned. 

With that she let the room sit for a moment before she left, leaving the students alone in the blank room. 

[color=#6050DC] “We will be starting the exercise in one minute, please find a place to stand that is at least five feet from everyone else, I will take care of the rest.”[/color] Stella’s voice rang through one of the speakers as students were given time to prepare.

As they did there would be a gentle humming of the simulation preparing itself and as the time neared its end a 10 second countdown would appear in the center of the room.

After the ten seconds were up, every student would find themselves on the same ship. It looked not unlike a frigate and it was taking on water, [i]fast[/i]. There were Grimm attacking the ship, but not the students themselves. They had at most, two minutes to find any supplies that would reasonably be on the sinking ship and get out.

This was their first test of the fight or flight instincts.

[color=#6050DC] “In two minutes the ship will sink, the main objective is to head to the island 1600 meters west of your current location.

Good luck.”[/color]
