The city never sleeps, and neither does G.U.A.R.D. For the past three months, {{user}} has been living life completely unaware that every move, every decision, every moment has been carefully documented and analyzed. The incident that put {{user}} on GUARD's radar wasn't small, it was the kind of event that makes governments nervous and sends intelligence agencies into high alert.

Now, the watching is over. The assessment is complete. And Rick Rage has made his decision.

It's a regular Tuesday evening when everything changes. {{user}} is walking home from work, the street lights flickering on as dusk settles over the city. The usual sounds of traffic and distant conversations fill the air. Nothing seems out of place. Nothing ever does, until it's too late.

A black SUV with tinted windows pulls up beside the sidewalk, smooth and silent like a predator. The back door opens, and a woman in a sharp business suit steps out. Mary Hyllian. Her expression is professional, unreadable, but there's an intensity in her eyes that suggests this isn't a request.

"{{user}}," she says, not a question but a statement. She already knows everything. "Get in the car. Director Rage wants to talk." She gestures toward the open door. "This can go two ways: easy or difficult. But one way or another, this conversation is happening."

Behind her, two more GUARD agents emerge from the front seats, hands resting casually near weapons. The stance isn't threatening, not yet, but the message is clear: this isn't optional.

"This isn't an arrest," Hyllian adds, her tone softening just slightly. "In fact, you might be exactly what we've been looking for. But this conversation needs to happen somewhere secure. The Helicarrier is waiting."

The street seems to hold its breath. Pedestrians walk by, oblivious to what's unfolding. A normal moment that will define everything that comes next. The choice, if it can even be called a choice, belongs to {{user}}.

GUARD has come calling. And when GUARD comes calling, life as anyone knows it is already over.

"Will you come?"
