They decided to be smart and not turn on the fire alarm at University Hall. One of the girls in my tutorial got a call saying they weren't letting people inside and when we walked out they had bolted the front door with a huge lock before checking whether there were people in the classrooms. I had one of the people in the vests yell and ask me as we left the emergency exit whether there were people inside. That could have been a little dangerous if something was actually wrong.

"Transformer Problem led to smoke pouring from the basement of Gilmour Hall. Officials closed the electric grid to prevent the smoke from spreading through ventilation"

Never has anything similar happened to this in four years...I'm thinking it's just a really bad year for this sort of thing at Mac.

That movie led me to believe that transformers were here to help protect us from other alien people... instead they cause fires in CNH.
