The iPhone QR code scanner app I used couldn't scan it. Maybe because the code wasn't flat, but curved around the pole? Also, don't make me have to bend down in order to scan a code. I'm tall, but even so, regular-sized people would still have go bend down. That said, I don't think the Vancouver Opera company had a say in placement.
Kimani Silvercloud growls soft still, controlling herself "he's a scaredy cat, cant stand up for himself" she hisses and flexes her claws angrily, "If he tries anything" she mutters to herself "he's gonna get it"
Belldandy Ghost surveys the crowd bellow, recognizing some people by uniform only others by facial recognition. Her favorite target wasnt amoung them, which was depressing, since she wasnt done with him yet. He needed to pay for her getting shot. "Oh yes....I got something for that Assbag.....and his friends....YOU OWE ME FOR A NEW ARM!"
Debra Charron steps forward into position and shuffles her feet, firming up the sand under her soft boots. Her features can only be described as serene as the seabreeze ruffles her hair and her eyes critically rake over her opponent, taking in how he stands, his equipment and generally taking the measure of him. She speaks, managing to keep most of the mocking tone from her voice, "I'm glad to hear that you're proficent in this evolution Commisar. From the tin suit your're wearing to a duel, I'd mistaken you for a rookie. Now I don't have to feel bad about you being drafted for this." Deb settles her hips and looks the man square on, " I can't say i have any special flair for this stuff outside what your boss has alluded to alreasy...." Deb glances at Tres and back to Pyros....."as he stated, I was created to soldier...so you could say I was born for this........." Deb lowers her right hand to her holsterd USP and waits...... "I'm ready at your convenience...."
Esha Rajal beamed a smile at Simon and took the cigarette that he'd offered, sighing with relief. So much tension in the air with all of that waiting... She slid the cigarette between her lips and grabbed her own zippo from her pocket, lighting up almost instantly. "Thanks," she nodded to the sergeant. "Needed that for sure." And she was back to watching again, this time puffing away happily...
Pyros Zenovka just glares at the woman"Its my uniform i have to wear.. PLus it has some hidden goodies in it." he just smiles at her his hand moveing down to the holster of the luger the remade gun he used for exactions he had to carry out back at the mainland."SO then what we what for high noon then?"
Jaina Lefevre squeezes Rai's hand so tight it's probably going numb.
Belldandy Ghost looks at the Commisionar's gear herself, her shades, which had lines of codeing constantly scrolling across it had changed from one green tint to another. Now she was using its scan feature to look over the gear, trying to see what sort of things he had hidden in it and the probability of Debra being able to dodge them, assuming they werent explosive.
Roaman Enzo walks over to the gathering a top the hill. Roaman looks down and sees Deb and Tres. He spots Deets ever close by. Smileing to himself then turning to Esha and Simon. "Where do they stand so far? And do we have our people in place in case this gets out of hand?"
Simon Netizen looks back at Ro then back down the hill. "Us three, and Taiyou's down there," he nods. "Startin' to think they may just dance and call it a night."
Debra Charron grins wolfishly, looking about as happy as anyone has ever seen her. "No need to wait, we're under freetown rules." The devil sparkles in Deb's green eyes as her hand hovers over her pistol-butt, "Make a move"
Jaina Lefevre mutters. "He sent five soldiers to come get me and Rai...and only has one to stand there with him for this. I don't think he's takin' this very seriously, do you?"
Kimani Silvercloud her ears go down defensively she glances at Jai "seems he isnt, he'll be sorry though"
Rai Pawpad squeezes her hand. "Maybe he was takin us real seriously. He should. How's his face lookin?"
Simon Netizen glances at Deb's daughter as she speaks and just shakes his head.
Remamian Takashi finishes her smoke and chucks the butt twords pyros as she blows out a last large plume into the air, she hears the commander behind her and simply wave, not quite sure if he would even see it or not
Pyros Zenovka just moves his hand not ready to draw the gun move working the holster open his hand cracking his knuckles for a moment"You do know after i win.. You family will have to join you." he just gives her a blank look throwing out the threat out there to maybe knock her off for a moment or two.
Nellie Meads crabwalks down the hill to the woman below her, who just finished the cigarette. A flurry of rocks are loosened, but she is light, agile, and low to the ground.
Remamian Takashi turns as she sees a few rocks decide they want to roll past her she see's the youngling and looks looks back twords the two bellow, seemingly ignoring the approach
Jaina Lefevre glances up at Roaman and frowns. "Who's you? You better be on my Moms' side or you can go stand over there." she points to the other hill.
Nellie Meads says very composedly, as she balances and takes the cover off her jar, "Can I use your lighter to set this on fire?"
Simon Netizen coughs to cover a laugh as the kid addresses Roaman and sucks so hard on his cigarette his eyes water.
Nellie Meads: "Please?"
Debra Charron will...if she has time later...reflect that her opponent probably didn't understand what "Freetown rules" meant. The moment the man's hand moves after he was told to "make his move", Deb's own right hand caresses the pistol butt and her old and familiar USP is rising to its natural firing position. Her draw is what she was trained to do in close combat, not the awkward 'wild west" yank-and-fire - but the smooth movement of someone who very much wants the first shot to count. The weapon's muzzle blankets Pyros center-chest as her finger snaps the trigger back smoothly, counting on years of practice and muzzle-rise to place her rounds slightly above center-chest - and hopefully sending them richocheting up into his head if they fail to penetrate. Her pistol barks once and a .45 caliber ball round begins its journey topwards the Commisar.
Kimani Silvercloud looks up at Roman, watching him for a few beets then looks back down
Roaman Enzo already a kid hater looks down at the little brat but holds his tongue. "I Think your safe kid now watch your mama"

this has got a white painted front . with demonstrator seating and its a memory bus for my best friend gemma who died rip xx
Deets Carroll calls out, "Got company!"
Jaina Lefevre glances back. "Frank...thanks for stoppin' by. Means a lot." She swallows. "Just..be safe..." she watches behind her and her face pales, fingers twining around Rai's leg.
Debra Charron relaxes again, and once again begins softly whistling to pass the time
Deets Carroll continues to look around. Speaks softly. "Kids. If there's any trouble, just in case, I want you to keep low, and run between the hills to the gas station, and then to the church, if you have to. Got that?"
Tres Asbrink just taps his foot as he looks over the small crowd"Where is this whore who thinks she can make threats and call me out of my bunker." he shakes his head for a moment.
Jaina Lefevre nods. "Got it Mom." she whispers and looks at the others.
Remamian Takashi looks up at deets as she says that and turns back to deb "That shall be my leave, i will be just a few steps away Ma'am" she turns and starts to walk up the steep hill, slightly loosing her footing a few times as some of the rocks and rubble skip down to the flat land bellow
Phoebe Scribe cut a wide swath around the UAC people, scowling at the pair of them while she headed for the bridge. Once she past them, she took off on a jog for it. She caught Deets' words before she left, but this kid wouldn't stick around this close. The other side? Perhaps.
Rai Pawpad nods. "Yeah, got it."
Kimani Silvercloud turns whan Deet speaks and the color drains from her face she scoots closer to rai stills reaching for Jais back, she looks up at Deets "yeah"
Deets Carroll nods tersely to Tres. "On the beach."
Debra Charron nods to Taiyou - her face calm, "I appreciate you being here. If I don't see you again here, I'll see you elsewhere."
Tres Asbrink just snaps his finger for the guard at his heels to follow him.
Kimani Silvercloud her eyes narrow when Tres walks down the hill, she growls, but its barely audible
Rai Pawpad growls softly, his fingers tightening on Jaina's.
Debra Charron observes the figures descending the hill and smiles - her green eyes sparkling, "Evening Gentlemen, ready for the event?"
Jaina Lefevre whispers. "Snaps fingers like a puppy. Looks like he got better from where we cut him."
Deets Carroll gives the nearby rooftops a final glance, and follows Tres down,
Nellie Meads's tail twitches. She takes a jar out of her pocket and holds it up in front of her eyes, and then lifts it over her head to show the people on the beach.
Tres Asbrink just lets out a small laugh"Ohh yes the event ohh lovely. I was just thinking of not comeing but i fidgured... Time to collect UAC property in the end."
Nellie Meads looks at Jaina. "Just off hand, I'd say he did get called out of his bunker. "
Debra Charron chuckles in obvious amusement, "No need to worry about them getting their property - I'd always planned to allow them to collect your body after we're done. To do less would be unseemly"
Jaina Lefevre nods to Nellie. "And you got his ear..." She's so nervous, she actually giggles at the jar. "Pee in his ear."
res Asbrink just smiles"Ohh yes seems you think your going to fight me." he snaps his fingers."Ohh no you don;t get that honor.. As i see it i'm a noble in this world. AS such you will fight a proxy in my place i'm to important to get my hands covered in your non-human blood."
Nellie Meads: "I wonder if I pinch this, will his clown ear feel it?"
Jaina Lefevre calls out. "You're a piece of shit, Ass-Brink!"
Remamian Takashi watches on, she rolls her eyes whispering to herself "come on ladies, just kill eachother already so i can go get something to drink" she smirks and her eyes widen as her pants begin to vibrate, she pats around and pulls out a small pda from her back pocket and reads whats on the screen. She quirks her brow and sends back a responce.
Rai Pawpad snarls. "He's a ratbastard chicken, that's why."
Nellie Meads rolls her eyes. "Don't call names, get even, people."
Kimani Silvercloud watches the beach, feeling on edge, if she had fur it would all be on end, her back is raised, the low growl continuing, she looks around, wondering if anyother kids would be comming
Deets Carroll growls, and pull her shotgun. "Then I shoot you down."
Debra Charron snorts and her eyes once again glitter, this time in very frank contempt. Her voice is clear and is intended to reach the onlookers as she states, "Tres, are you really sure you want to pass along your duty to another? It may get you out of a bullet here tonight, but in the long run how will it play for those who have to follow you? Soldiers like to respect their commander after all.......and a commander who hides behind others when presented with physical danger is not one who'll inspire much in the way of respect - and your men deserve better" Deb looks at the person acompanying Tres, "You're here of your own free will?"
Pyros Zenovka nods at the woman"My duty is to sever the UAC and the company i follow my orders to the letter." he taps the gun at his side."So my orders are to kill you what else is there to do."
Deets Carroll sighs and steps sideways, out of Deb's line of fire. It gives her a better line on Tres, which isn't much of a coincidence.
Tres Asbrink just titls his head as he looks at Deb"There are reasons why i have brought commisinars to the city." he just smiles"To carry out my will. Cold ruthless type who do as the uac wills it." he looks to Pyros." Which Pyros is one of them."
Esha Rajal arrived rather fashionably late for the evening's festivities. At least she had a good excuse, having run ragged across Apoc and the southwestern side of Midian. She stood far enough back from the gathered crowd that she could have a good view of the area in general. She was just there in case anything went wrong, as per orders, and she'd follow them. She shifted her wait from side to side as she waited patiently, her eyes roaming over the children in front of her, and off to the little bit of action she could see down on the beach below.
Debra Charron smiles at Tres, "Really? Or have you brought them because you doubt your ability to command the respect of the troops who have served you to this point? For acts just such as this one........" Deb looks at the uniformed man, "I am Debra Charron, and I appreciate your dedication to your duty. I don't think i've had the privilige of your name soldier?""
Tres Asbrink just lets out a small snort"There only job is to do what the company says nothing more.. If not then liquadation is in order i would say." he just lets out a small laugh looking at pyros to see what his reply would be.
Jaina Lefevre watches and listens. She's so proud of her Mom down there. And she so desperately wants to slice that fucker with his own scalpel again.
Pyros Zenovka just looks at the woman for a moment and titls his head"I can care less what a dog of war has to say.... I have my duty i do what i have to do. You do not the curse of mercs like yourself." his hand moves to the large luger at his leg taping it for a moment.
Jaina Lefevre holds Rai's hand tight, watching. She's chewing the crap out of her lip too.
Kimani Silvercloud listens to the conversation below and shakes her head and wispers to the group of kids "He's probaly scared, makin up excuses why he cant fight"
Jaina Lefevre: "Probably because he's a pansy. Rai and I took him. He has to get someone else to fight 'cause he'd pee his pants if he had'ta do it his ownself."
Nellie Meads: "Pixis, come over with us."
Deets Carroll shakes her head. "This is crap. She levels her gun at Tres. Your flunky drops his guns, or I shoot you now."
Kimani Silvercloud looks over and smiles "hey sister, come on over" she pats the ground next to her
Belldandy Ghost looks over to Kimani, at first she wasnt planning on moving, but since Kimi had motioned to a spot she couldnt help but to go over and sit by her, to watch the two fight like gladiators in a colleseum or arena
Debra Charron chuckles, "Commisar, last time I checked - you worked for Union Aerospace Corporation..........not some government. That means I'm not the only mercenary on this beach, i'm just the only *Professional* mercenary here." Deb grins wolfishly at Tres, "If you insist on sacrificing another to save yourself, the consequences be upon your head. No matter who walks away from this, in the eyes of those who serve you - the folks down in the ranks - I win." Deb fixes her gaze on Pyros, "Well Commisar - if you're ready to defend his right to make war on children - find myself suitably attired." Deb cuts her gaze to Deets, "Deets - let him have his fun. if this fellow is Tres' substitute, then i'll trade shots with him. If tres himself or anyone else attempts to fire at me, drop Tres."
Rai Pawpad smiles. "Hey there, Knight."
Belldandy Ghost nods "Good Morning, Your Majesty."
Jaina Lefevre glances over at Pix but is really kinda focused on hoping her Mom doesn't die.
Deets Carroll scowls, "Understood." Begrudgingly. Her shotgun aim never wavers from Tres' back.
Kimani Silvercloud clasps her hands together nevously fidgeting with them she tries to smile at the group reassuringly but it just comes out as a grimace
Pyros Zenovka just smiles as the woman"Just so you know i'm the top in with my group for this kind of work miss." he just smiles as he steps forward>"No worrys there will be no one to bother you... Childeren from this city are just like the adults things that need to be beaten."
Tres Asbrink just steps back from the fight and lets his man do his job.
Jaina Lefevre: "Yeah! But HE was the one that got his ass beat!" She points to Tres. "BY TWO KIDS! PANSY!"
Rai Pawpad growls in his chest, and murmurs, "yeah? bring it assbag."
Deets Carroll glares and keeps Tres in her sights, stepping back slightly to maintain her distance.
Simon Netizen just...watches. Seeing, hearing...watching quietly as he converses in whispers with Esha.

The Fall 2011 Hackathon brought in hundreds of students from nearly 50 universities in the U.S. and Canada to NYU's Courant Institute for 24 hours of creative hacking on New York City startups' APIs.
Selected startups presented their technologies at the beginning of the event, and students formed groups to brainstorm and begin coding on their ideas. Many students worked into the night, foregoing sleep to fulfill their visions.
On Sunday afternoon students presented their projects to an audience including a judging panel, which selected the final winners.
hackNY hosts hackathons one each semester, as well as a Summer Fellows Program, which pairs quantitative and computational students with startups which can demonstrate a strong mentoring environment, a problem for a student to work on, a person to mentor them, and a place for them to work. Startups selected to host a student are expected to compensate student Fellows. Students enjoy free housing together and a pedagogical lecture series to introduce them to the ins and outs of joining and founding a startup.
