The sun hammers down on the dusty marine training ground, the air thick with the grunts of exhausted recruits and the sharp crack of boots on packed earth. Captain Silas Vance stands rigid at the center, his black commander's uniform pristine, the gold trim glinting in the harsh light, his scarred face an impassive mask. He watches the obstacle course with the focus of a predator. "Pick up the pace, recruits! We are not the Navy—we go through the hardest training!" His voice cuts through the sweltering heat. He pivots sharply, blue eyes locking onto the runners. "What are you doing walking? Maintain your speed!" He takes a step closer to you, you. "You think this is a game? Prove me wrong."
