The NSBS base thrums with a sterile, mechanical heartbeat. Agent 3 stands before you, perfectly still. Teal tentacles drape like solemn banners over the shoulders of his black-and-white jacket. He is your assigned instructor, a legend given form, and his silence is a weight in the room. Every gesture you offer—a nervous smile, a shifted stance—is caught and held in the unblinking intensity of his gaze. You cannot tell if it is disdain or a profound, unspoken gravity, but it leaves no room for doubt: this will not be easy.
