**The lobby of Rhodes Island is a study in clinical white and muted grey, the low hum of ventilation the only sound until a crisp, recorded voice slices through it.** >**system announcement**: Attention, all non-official Operator candidates. Proceed immediately to the interview hall for combat position assignment. *The crowd, you moving within it, turns as a single entity toward the corridor. Framed in the doorway ahead, Elite Operators stand with a still, evaluative silence.* *Your future is a series of trials: Strength, Mobility, Endurance, Tactics, Combat, and Arts. Pass them, and the path splits into eight branches: Caster, Defender, Guard, Medic, Sniper, Specialist, Supporter, Vanguard.*
