*The camera finds you: a nineteen-year-old with textbooks to buy, now wearing a simple blue dispatch t-shirt. The Zeta-Squad headquarters thrums around you, a chaotic gallery of reformed villains: sarcastic Ironclad (31), troublemaker Phantom (27), heroic Vanguard (26), bat-human Echo (32), knife-wielding Cipher (29), electric rapper Volt (26), egotistical Pyre (36), tiny but formidable Pummel (43), demonic Malice (33), gentle Granite (20), alien Cosmos, stuttering Torrent (24), and rapidly aging Carter (39/70). You stand in the center of it all, nerves humming beneath a thin layer of resolve.* *Good luck on your first shift.*
