Hello Guides!
We will be continuing on with our ATC journey!
The overall storyline for day 3 is as follows:
Hello Trainees, welcome to day 3 of ATC’20. On day 2, you have discovered who the imposters are and successfully ejected them from Spaceship Christine. As you wake up and get ready for your tasks, you walk past the storage room, and you are shocked to find that the supplies are all in a mess, and many items have been stolen. How could this be? The imposter had already been ejected yesterday, this should have been impossible. It slowly dawned on you that there was another imposter and they had wreaked havoc on the spaceship. Together, you must overcome this setback and continue to complete your tasks on the spaceship, do not let the imposter claim victory!
Inspection
After discovering that the imposter had stolen many of your supplies, you decide that your top priority is to retrieve your supplies. Now that you have retrieved all the logistics needed, we will now be conducting an inspection to ensure that all the equipment is in working conditions and that nothing is missing.
Congratulations for completing this inspection. You have successfully retrieved your necessary logistics and are now ready to start on your tasks for the day, to keep the spaceship in operation.
Reflection from a Year 1
I think inspection was a very good chance to learn from our mistakes. I think we improved from the previous inspection but there is still more room for improvement. We were supposed to memorise the layout that was submitted and apply it during inspection. Although we had a layout, not everyone finished setting it up. I think we could have moved faster and gone to a closer wall to us than carrying all our stuff to another place which was very troublesome and time consuming. For the second part of inspection, we had to change the layout and it should be different from the previous one. I think everyone had relied too much on our Year 2 senior and when she was away, everyone did not know what to do. We could have stepped up to help her. I learnt that communication is very important in inspection and we should not be shy to step up.
Reflection from a Year 2
I feel that this inspection was meaningful and very fulfilling. Although we did not perform very well and did not manage to finish our layouts, I felt that it was a good chance for the Year 1s to revise on how inspection works. I think this inspection reminded the whole 团 that we needed to increase our sense of urgency in order to complete our tasks efficiently. As the only Year 2 of my patrol, that inspection was really tiring for me since I tried my best to step up and lead my group too. I should have focused more on my layout and depended more on my batchmates to lead the group. However, I also once again got another chance to lead my Year 1s and teach and guide them on how inspection works. Overall, I felt that we could have put in a little more effort and worked faster.
Obstacle Journey
The spaceship has taken off. Everyone is required to carry out their tasks. Each patrol has a different set of tasks to carry out, together as a team. Be careful, as there is still one last imposter among us, ready for the right time to strike so please be reminded to look after one another.
Station 1: Physical Training
In order to combat the imposter, your company has decided to make everyone go through a mandatory physical training course. There are 2 sets of PT that you can consider carrying out. You guys were indecisive so you chose to settle your choice over a game of scissors-paper-stone with your Patrol leader. If you win, you will undergo the first set of PT. If you lose, you will undergo the second set of PT. Before we start, you will need to do some warm-ups. Please choose a representative to lead the warm-up. Guides, guides alert, 计时 2 mins for warm-up, break off. Now, you will be given 1 minute to play scissors-paper-stone with your Patrol Leader. You are to do the set of Physical Training given and are expected to complete at least 3 rounds of the circuit PT within 10 mins. There is no specific order of how the PT should be completed.
Congratulations on completing the training course. You are now physically ready to fight off the imposter!
Reflection from a Year 2
For the Physical Training station, we had to do 3 circuits of Physical Training. We had to choose what Physical Training to do by playing a game of scissors paper stone with our Patrol Leader ; if we won, we would do a certain set of Physical Training and if we lost, we had to do another. This predetermined set would have to be done 3 times over the span of 12 minutes, which was broken into 7 and 5 minutes respectively with a water break in between each circuit. I feel that the circuit Physical Training was not very tough. Although the timings we were given felt a bit short, the actual Physical Training we had to do was not that difficult. I feel that cheering also helped as it kept our spirits high and encouraged us to persevere. However I feel that our sense of urgency throughout the station could be improved as we often slowly moved from one position to another and could have better used our time to complete the circuits faster.
Station 2: First Aid
While you were adventuring the spaceship, in search for the clues for the imposter, an accident occured. The lights started flickering and went off you. You were unable to see clearly and you heard a “thump” sound. You turned around and quickly realised that your Patrol Leader had tumbled down the stairs. It appears that her right knee was bleeding. She was clutching her left shoulder in pain and complained that her head was throbbing. You will now be given 8 mins to treat her injuries. Time is ticking, treat her injuries before the imposter creeps up on you.
Suddenly, you catch a whiff of a strange smell in the air. Someone has sabotaged the gas tanks! You have 1 min to decide how to deal with this situation before you pass out.
You hear cries of pain and turn around to find that 2 other of your patrol members have collapsed to the ground. You realised that both your Patrol Leader and the 2 patrol members are suffering from a mysterious illness. One of the patrol members appeared to have also suffered a broken left leg and a sprained right ankle while the other patrol member is suffering from heat exhaustion and a mysterious, snake bite has appeared on her right arm. From the corner of your eyes, you notice a round headed snake with round pupils slithering away. Look around for a special medicine that would cure this illness. Make sure that 2 or more members are with you at all times and members seeking for the cure will have to stick close together by holding onto a 麻绳 and keep 1m safe distances. You will be given 10 mins before they collapse to the mysterious illness.
Reflection from a Year 2
I feel that my patrol did not do so well for one of the stations during the obstacle journey on Tuesday’s 集合, which is the first-aid station. We were not able to identify some of the steps to take if someone had an injured leg, a snake bite, or heat exhaustion. However, when we were tasked to save ourselves from the “poisonous gas”, we managed to take action fast enough and made use of our scarf to cover our nose and mouth. On the other hand, we were unsure of how to tie the head and jaw bandage and took a very long time trying to finish it. We did not revise our first aid skills well enough and thus I felt that we could have done better for the first aid station. Furthermore, we could have also been more serious during all the activities being carried out at that station and could have had a greater sense of urgency as we were still laughing and took our time to finish the head and jaw bandage during this station. Therefore, I feel that we still have a lot of room for improvement in terms of our first aid skills as well as our sense of urgency.
Station 3: Creative Gadgeting
You realise that when it comes to emerging valorously during challenges, teamwork is key. For this station, you will be required to make use of the provided logistics to build a structure that best represents your patrol’s identity. You will be given 12 minutes to build your structure. You will need at least 2 diagonals, 4 square lashes and 1 quadpod. For the first 4 minutes of the station, the Y2s are not allowed to touch the structure. Now, you will be given 12 minutes to build your structure. Please note that you will be required to explain the features of the structure and link it back to how it best represents your patrol.
Congratulations on completing this station. Now that you have decided on a patrol identity, you and your patrol mates feel a sense of courage and are confident that you will brace through whatever challenges lie in your way, together as a team.
Reflection from a Year 2
We played a station game, to build a creative gadget that symbolises our individual patrol. However, the rule was that only the Year 1s could touch the structure for the first 4 minutes. Since, the Year 2s would usually be the ones tying the main frames of the structure, while the Year 1s would have a slightly easier task to tie the 顶脚. Hence, our progress was slowed. Through this activity, we realised that our lashes were not up to standard, and hence, we were unable to complete the structure. The structure our patrol had built was made up of a tripod and a quadpod, with a 木 that connected the both. This symbolises our batches being united together, and also the bond between different batches. I found this activity interesting as it allowed us to practice the different lashes while unleashing our creativity on building a symbolic structure. I also learnt that we should place our logistics at a strategic location such that they were in our sight while we tie the structure at the same time. I feel that we could better allocate the manpower, and not leave the Year 1s alone to tie the tripod while the Year 2s gather around the quadpod.
Station 4: Survival Skills 1
In order to train your survival skills, in case the spaceship gets sabotaged and an emergency landing has to occur again, you are to put your survival skills to test and undergo a simulation. Look around for post-it notes containing questions testing you on your knowledge of survival skills. You will be awarded 2 logistics that will aid you in your later tasks per question successfully answered.
Oh no! A storm is approaching! You have 8 minutes to build a shelter that will shelter at least 2 patrol members and your logistics. You are free to also make use of your surroundings. Make haste before you are caught in the storm!
You have successfully built your shelter and the storm has passed. Congratulations on surviving this simulation. You are now prepared for whatever challenges lie in your way.
Reflection from a Year 2
For station 4, first we had to find post-its and answer all the questions on it. The questions were about the survival skills in the guides notes, such as how to build a bamboo filter. Most of our patrol did not read the guides notes as we forgot, so we were unable to solve the questions quickly. Fortunately, the seniors helped us by trying to give us hints so that we were able to complete the station. I think that us as Year 2s should remember to read the Guides notes often and also remind our Year 1s as they are still fairly new and do not know that they have to read Guides notes for Obstacle Journey. The survival skills in the Guides notes are very important, and we managed to revise them in the first part of the station. We also needed to climb the stairs to find the post-its while taking care of logistics. This taught us that we need to cooperate with our patrol mates and be aware of our surroundings. Next, we had to build a shelter to shelter us and the other gadget poles. I was assigned to be Patrol Leader, so I was quite stressed. We needed to use our surroundings to build the shelter. Eventually we decided to tie 2 青木 on the railing and tie poncho to it. Overall, I thought that we needed to cheer and 报时 more as we were too busy tying the shelter or solving the post-its. We also 过时 even if we asked for time extension, so I think that we need to have a better sense of urgency. I also should have stepped up more to lead the patrol as the seniors assigned patrol leader for a reason.
Station 5: Patrol Bonding
As you were completing one of your tasks with your patrol members in the cafeteria, you suddenly hear the doors close. You have no choice but to wait patiently for someone to unlock the door from the outside. To lighten up the mood while waiting, you decided to play some games. So now, you will be undergoing a series of challenges. There are a total of 4 stages to this challenge. To pass the first stage, 2 different patrol members are to do 2 consecutive bottle flips. To pass the second stage, 2 people are to make use of a 麻绳 and complete 5 successful skips together, consecutively. To pass the third stage, you will have to play scissors-paper-stone with me. One of you will have to win against me 3 times in a row to pass. Last but not least, you will have to solve a picture puzzle as a patrol, to complete the challenge. Please note that all patrol members are to take turns in these stages.
Good job for completing this station. You hear the door click and realise that the door has been unlocked by a fellow crewmate. You are finally able to leave the room.
Reflection from a Year 2
From this station, we started off by having to bottle flip. It was really difficult at the start but we soon got the hang of it and managed to complete that stage. I also realised that teamwork is very important to get work done. For example, we needed to work together to complete the puzzle. We also needed to coordinate with each other when jumping rope. If one of us were to mess up, we would have to start all over again. Cheering was also very important as we needed to boost morale in order to get more hyped and work faster. I also learnt to not give up and to have patience as if we did not manage to complete a task the first try, we had to start all over again. The games were simple and fun. My patrol managed to complete the station quite fast and I was proud of us. In conclusion, I am thankful for this station as it is more relaxed and fun compared to other stations.
Station 6: Survival Skills 2
One of your tasks on the spaceship is to learn how to recognise trekking signs, as this is essential to survival in case of an emergency landing on a foreign land. You are put through a simulation test with your patrol members, and to pass you must follow the trekking signs to find your missing survival kit. There is also a requirement to pass this simulation test - you are to find out an exact date that will be hinted to you through the trekking signs, in order to gain bonus marks to pass the test with flying colours! Just a hint: keep your eyes peeled for numbers! After break off, you will have to give me your survival kit and everyone will close their eyes until I tell you to open them. Now, you will be given 14 minutes to follow the trekking signs and find your missing survival kit in order to pass the test. Please note that you are only supposed to be looking at the blue coloured Post-it notes until stated that you can open the pink ones.
Congratulations on completing this station! You managed to find your survival kit and passed the test.
Reflection from a Year 2
During the station, we had to find post-it notes with trekking signs on them. In order to find the date, we had to take the first letter of each trekking sign and place them in sequence. During the station, we had to carry our 配备, 木 and water bottles with us. As a result, it became slightly more difficult to look for post-it notes stuck around the area. When we put down our logistics to solve some trekking signs, we completely forgot about them and did not notice the seniors taking them away. In addition, we moved rather slowly and lacked a sense of urgency as we took our time to find and solve the trekking signs on the post-it notes. We were not very familiar with the trekking signs and we wasted quite a bit of time trying to recall what each trekking sign meant. We could revise more about our trekking signs and try to complete stations quicker as there is a time limit. We should learn to 照顾好东西 better and cheer and 报时 more frequently and consistently.
You have successfully completed your tasks for the day and it is now time for everyone to gather back at the cafeteria to enjoy a nice evening together. The tasks were tiring but everyone put in their best efforts together and the spaceship remains in good condition all thanks to you. Keep up the good work! We hope that you were able to hone your hard skills and soft skills through these activities and they have better prepared you for unforeseen circumstances and challenging situations in the future.
Continuation of storyline for the next ATC session:
Good job for today! All of your patrol members are safe and sound, despite all the challenges and setbacks that the imposter had lay ahead in hopes of sabotaging the operations of the spaceship, your teamwork and courage prevailed. You have yet to find out who the imposter was but you feel a sense of achievement, having managed to emerge valorous with your patrol members during such times of danger. We hope you will continue to stand strong regardless of whatever may come next and the story continues...
We hope everyone enjoyed the Obstacle Journey planned for today! Rest well and we will see you in our last Annual Training Camp session!
