Rather than taking the difficult route of placing the sword overnight in poor light conditions with a high risk of being caught using loud tools, the sword was transported to Waterloo in the early afternoon of March 30, 2012. Upon arrival, the truck was driven to the front of the engineering building and U of T engineers disguised as a construction crew proceeded to offload and install the sword beside Carl Pollock Hall in broad daylight. The installation of the sword was completed within the span of one hour. | Rather than taking the difficult route of placing the sword overnight in poor light conditions with a high risk of being caught using loud tools, the sword was transported to Waterloo in the early afternoon of March 30, 2012.

The sword was generally well received by engineering students at Waterloo. Members of the Brute Force Committee enjoyed several beers in POETS, the engineering bar at Waterloo, before returning home. However, by the end of the weekend, some unknown students managed to sever the sword from the base and pierce the hidden chamber in the base. It is unknown who is currently in possession of the sword. | The sword was generally well received by engineering students at Waterloo.
