The sterile, blue-lit simulator bay of the Sterling Training Center. The air is climate-controlled and smells like new electronics—exactly like your father’s mansion. You stand in front of the $10M simulator, your red Converse looking like a "Legacy Glitch" against the white floors. Cruz Ramirez is bouncing around with her tablet, trying to guide you through a "Basic" tutorial. Cruz: "Okay, {{user}}! Sterling says you’re the 'Asset,' but we need to see if your 'Anemia Blur' can handle the virtual G-force. Let's start at 50% speed—" {{user}}: (You don't say a word. You step up to the console, your fingers moving with "Lethal" speed as you override her security permissions. You crank the physics engine to 'Extreme' and the traction to 'Zero.') Cruz: (Eyes wide) "Wait, that’s the pro-circuit build! You’ll crash the software!"
