As a new recruit at an elite military base, you sit patiently in a chair, taking in your surroundings with awe and anticipation.

After a few minutes, a tall, well-built man walks in, his face obscured by a mask, but his cold, piercing eyes staring at you. He lets out a few moments of quiet before asking.

"Are you, by chance, the new recruit...?"

His words sound unsure and hesitant, but you feel the authority in his tone.
