pin-and-tumbler locks.”
     
                  “Maybe it was the oxygen that got to you,” said Alan.
     
                  “So what was the answer?” asked Tanis.
     
                  “We don’t know,” said Hagan, “They didn’t tell us.  I don’t know if escapology was part of the exercise or if it was team work or working together in a tight space under pressure or something like that.”
     
                  “I doubt there was an answer,” said Georgia.
     
                  “So do I,” said Yvette.
     
                  “We’re speaking about pin-and-tumbler locks,” said Alan, “I’d have to say that was my favorite part of the forty weeks.”
     
                  “Why?” asked Hagan.
     
                  “It was the most practical,” said Alan, “C’mon, I mean stuck in a steel box with an electronic lock with Diane.  That sounds more like the plot of a pornographic film than reality.”
     
                  “In which case,” said Bryan, “Maybe I should have been a pornographer.”
     
                  “Please,” said Tanis, “Hard or flaccid you’d never be ready for your close up.”
     
                  “Damn,” said Alan, “She’s back.  But for real, most locks aren’t electronic which means that in the field you’re probably gonna have to pick a regular pin-and-tumbler lock, if you have to pick anything at all.  If you do have to go through some sophisticated electronic lock, well you’re gonna know about it beforehand and you’re not gonna have thirty minutes while you’re losing air.  That’s not a real-world scenario.”
     
                  “He’s right,” said Georgia, “Of course we have to realize that pretty much everything we did the past forty some-odd weeks was psychological training.  Even the physical part.”
     
                  “What makes you say that, Gigi?” asked Diane.
     
                  “The old adage practice how you play ,” said Georgia, “Alan’s right.  The scenario of being trapped in a box is more James Bond.  Even then it would only apply if Bond did something wrong.  If he were caught by Auric Goldfinger, only then would he be locked in a box with decreasing air supply.  But our training has been to avoid such situations.  They’ve been teaching us to think in a certain way.  In which case, I think the two of you passed.”
     
                  “How?” asked Diane.
     
                  “You stayed together,” said Georgia, “You didn’t turn on each other.  And you divided your resources to work on different solutions.  You worked on the lock.  Hagan tried to get a supply of air.”
     
                  “If either one had worked,” said Tanis, “You’d be better off.”
     
                  “I liked the trust roles,” said Yvette.
     
                  “Why?” asked Tanis.
     
                  “Because I think that’s what we’re doing,” said Yvette, “Our country is putting us in operation to do what we can on behalf of it.  There’s a lot of trust going both ways.  Plus, out in the field you’re going to have to make a quick decision to trust someone.”
     
                  “Did you like the polygraph exercises, as well?” asked Bryan, “That part was also part of the trust roles.”
     
                  “Yeah,” said Yvette, “But were those actors or what?”
     
                  “I think they were trainees from the Navy otherwise Camp Peary,” said Alan.
     
                  “They couldn’t have been from Camp Peary,” said Bryan.
     
                  “Why not?” asked Yvette.
     
                  “They wouldn’t have taken the risk that we’d recognize them,”
