A brand new group is on the making, The Apostles, a Pillar-like group led by none other than our brand new headmaster, Gregoire Girard. A student body that would lead students and enforce the law on this little school of ours. Little is still known about this student body, but who knows? It might just be what the school needs.

A lunch box is seen last Friday, around 12:37:08pm with an encouraging note packed inside. This appalling display that utterly lacked manliness has left many students stunned and outrage, as some decided, after a long while, to speak out against it.
Full Story Here.

I would take a few steps back into the aisle as Knuckles shouted for everyone. Instead of sitting, I held onto the seats to keep myself up. When he started busting the door, I was confused, but it looked like he was trying to push the strip away... I immediately moved up to his side. He was straining himself trying to hold on. Instead, I grabbed onto the door frame with my left hand, and grabbed onto his left arm with my own to lessen some of the strain on him. When Mireli came up, I stayed quiet while she said her idea. Now I wasn't sure about exactly how it would work, but she sounded hell of a lot smarter than I was so I rolled with it.
"I'm on it."
I pulled my coat off, revealing a tear in my right upper sleeve. This wasn't from today. The tear had been done by that Bow and Arrow guy a few days ago. Bandages could be seen through the tear in my shirt. They were supposed to be white, but they seemed to be getting redder as a very small steam of blood started running down my arm. Between the tension against Shiro and helping Knuckles, it looked like I had reopened the wound. Tossing my coat to the side, I would go down the aisle opening up windows that other people wouldn't. When Levi started screaming, I pulled my head up to look at him... electrical tools? Valo was much smarter with tech than I was. Hell he was spending all of his time at Yuy Corp R&D.
"Bring them to Valo! He's good with this stuff!"

"Huh?"
Valo looked over in the direction of Levi after Shugo had brought him up, and began to work his way to the back of the bus slowly and carefully.
"Shugo, the ETA on that help is a few more minutes... we need to hold out until then. The girl's idea about stopping this thing with the other vehicles... it's very sound."
He spoke to his brother before getting to where Levi was. Once he approached him, he would continue past him, gesturing for Levi to follow. "Levi, with me. Bring those tools."
At the back of the bus, Valo would begin checking for a way to get to the engine, pulling on a panel in the back as hard as he could. If it wasn't enough force, he'd keep hitting it while pulling to try and break it off.
"A flat fronted bus like this one typically has the engine right here, in the back. It's why there's this giant lump of a space with no seats. Now if we can get this open..." He kept trying. "We may be able to see if there's any issues with the brakes, or if we can shut this engine down entirely."

With the tools brought over, the engine could be opened. This would be the point that Valo would see that multiple devices locked over different parts of the engine and brake system. It looked as if they were designed to wirelessly control the bus.
From looking at the devices Val would be able to figure out that one was controlling the acceleration, another the breaks and a last the steering. With the tools he would be able to remove them and return control to over however doing so in a stupid order could lead to issues.
It would be up to Valo or the others to figure out the best order.
---
There is a best order from removal of devices. Dice rolls will determine success and chance of mishap. Best order will make this extremely unlikely regardless of rolls.

Levi had a little bit of mechanical knowledge, but not much practical experience. After taking some time to look at the devices and the parts they were attached to, he identified each part. His forehead wrinkled as he took a moment to think; the steering and brake systems seemed to be the most likely to send them out of control should they malfunction, so tampering with them would be best after they could slow down assuming everything else went according to plan.
"I think acceleration first, then brakes...do you think it's safe to disable them?"
Levi would watch intently, hoping that tampering with the devices would not make things worse seeing as the room for more things to go wrong was very small if they wanted to live.

Valo would look at the engine as it was uncovered, noticing it was a bit different than what he was used to seeing. Taking a moment to look at the parts though, he was examining what could be what. His first thought was to look at the brakes, trying to see if the brake fluid was perhaps leaky or if something was loose, but he was listening to Levi the entire time.
"Hmm..."
Acceleration. That was Valo's first choice too. If they could slow the bus down, then focusing on the brakes would be easier. The other two choices were the brakes and the steering... and unless it was an even worse situation, the steering seemed like the last priority. So he was willing to take the gamble on the acceleration.
"Yeah... we don't have much of a choice. Here goes nothing..."
He was scared. But he grabbed the necessary tools and moved to disable the device for the acceleration.

Best Order was Steering, Acceleration and then brakes. Chosen order, Acceleration, brakes and Steering. Order has correct order for one pair. All roll will be considered +1 for events.
Reason for best order - Steering, so that in the case of any mishap removing the others would be controllable by the driver, making them less dangerous.
Acceleration - To slow the speed of the bus slowly, as accidental brakes or slamming on the brake with the Acceleration at max can cause serious issues.
Brakes - Once everything else is dealt brakes to bring the bus to complete stop.

Removing the first device wasn't the best, it would seem to end up with the acceleration still being held down but the bus would gently slow slightly. As if someone was no longer holding the pedal down completely.
The brakes would go perfectly, the driver would have control over them. All he needed was order to them.
The Steering was not too bad however Knuckles by the door would feel himself almost pulled out of the door as the bus jerked. Then he could rejoice because someone was in a vehicle chasing the,. It wasn't his but Valo's and Shugo's. This was because Yuy corp. had more influence and vehicles that could response quickly.

Either Shu or Valo can control the van, as they both have Yuy corp connections.

Vivi was relieved to see some of the other students figuring things out, though she knew it wasn't over yet. Part of her was disappointed she couldn't be more of a help, but for now, she was just attempting to keep the students under control, blocking some of the more panicked ones from getting in Valo's way, and trying to comfort the scared ones with her words.
Vivi glanced over and spotted the approaching cars. The likelihood of being able to fit all the kids in those things was non-existent. She partially doubted everyone would be in a rush to hop in, most of them would probably be too scared. Regardless, she hoped there was a different plan in the people who called up the car’s minds, preferably one that could save everyone.

I finally got all of the windows down and it looked like Valo was making progress with the machinery. I felt the bus stumble a bit and I grabbed onto a seat to make sure I didn't fall. My phone rang in my pocket as I noticed the van pull up next to us.
"God it's good to see you guys. Hang on. I'm going to put you on the phone with someone who knows how to handle this situation better. Listen to every word she says."
I tucked my phone back into my pocket as I pulled myself back to the front of the bus. I would speak in a loud voice to everyone on the bus as I moved.
"EVERYONE! SIT DOWN AND HOLD TIGHT! WE'RE GOING TO USE THE VAN TO HELP SLOW THE BUS DOWN!"
As I made my way to the front, I'd step up to Mireli.
"Feel like saving the day, Mir?"
I'd hold the cell phone out to Mir with my right arm, blood trickling down from my upper arm to my wrist. With everything going on, I hadn't even noticed my old wound had opened up still. I motioned towards the first open seat and would help her keep her balance as I pushed her towards it. I myself would still stand in the aisle, ready to help anyone who needed it at a moments notice, gripping the back of the seats tightly to keep balance.
"Here take this and tell them what to do with the van. You can do this."

Once she had given her idea to the bigger, stronger boys, Mireli had all intentions of weaving back down the isle to her seat next to Seven. However, it was chaos and every time she took a step, there was a body in the way. She stood at the front, frowning at the situation. How was anyone supposed to think in this mayhem, much less do anything about it?
Shugo was talking on a cell phone, making his way to the front, parting through the students with practiced ease. He handed her the cell phone, a device she didn't own herself but she knew what it was. Her gaze shifted to the trickle of crimson down his arm, and she blinked.
"You're bleeding." She replied matter-of-factly, taking the phone from him and putting it up to her ear. Van? She stepped up to the front, wedging herself between the driver's chair and the front of the first seat so she could see this van that she was directing.
"Hello?" She spoke into the phone, greeting the mysterious van driver on the other end. "Yes, okay. You need to position yourself directly in front of the bus at a speed slightly faster than the bus' own. Then slowly, slowly decelerate, we will be using your brakes to stop the bus. Okay? I see you. Keep going, a bit faster, you haven't cleared the front of the bus yet. Another five feet. Good. You're clear to move over." The van passed the bus, moving into the lane in front of them.
Miri glanced behind her to see if everyone was seated or close to being so, the jolt of the two vehicles colliding was going to be incredibly jarring. Her company had done this in the past when one of the caravans lost control. It wasn't easy, but it was possible. "You will need to hold steady, don't swerve. And brake." She gripped the back of the driver's seat, waiting for the collision with the back of the van.

Due to Mireli instruction, the van would be able to pull ahead of the bus and then gradually slow the bus down. Aided by the fact that Valo had done so well freeing up the own buses breaks. The bus would eventually when at a full stop, with the break back on. It would seem to be struggling as the acceleration was still on, but the weight of van and brake friction stopped it from going anywhere.
Student would be able to stagger out of the bus however those that waited would here HUDSON one last time. A simple sentence.
"Well done kids."
Knuckles by the doors would be able to notice, that a single spike from the spike strip had some how been able been lodged in the side of the bus and pull it out.
