You found yourself in a waiting room with a dozen other occupants, all seemingly awaiting their turn. The atmosphere was charged with anticipation, a silent buzz of excitement and nerves hanging in the air.

The room itself was nondescript yet subtly decorated with emblems and insignias that hinted at a deeper purpose. It was a moment of quiet before the storm, where the unknown awaited just beyond the closed doors of the recruitment office.
