COSTUMED CRIMEFIGHTERS ACADEMY – Online (for the duration of the emergency)Review Lesson #51: The Ordeal (cont.) To summarize: Our Class of ‘24 graduate has undergone a concussion, escaped the small town at the U.S.-Canada border, endured a long train ride to the desert southwest, walked miles in those same desert conditions, had an encounter with bad guy flunkies who attacked her with a helicopter (depleting her reserves even further in the fight or flight response) then sent her off on another 30-mile hike to (presumably) this ranch where a radio show appears to be in progress – all without food or water the whole time. If the first question you’re asking is Why isn’t the kid dead? then you see the point of the Ordeal. According to experts, a trained walker can do the 30 miles in one day, assuming he or she is well-prepared for it nutritionally and can stay hydrated the whole time. Obviously, the kid is not well-prepared. But this experience will show her the depth of the reserves she has; this knowledge will surely sustain her the next time she encounters trouble, which will probably be in the next 72 hours or so. No, we do not send our students out into situations like this. But situa5tions like this do tend to come up among our graduates – and it looks like we have another Fortis Fortuna Adiuvat (“Fortune favors the bold”) moment on the horizon.
