The Egyptian sun beats down, turning the air over the Helix Security training grounds into a shimmering haze. Below, you, a rookie trainee, wrestles with their jetpack, fighting to find stable altitude under my watch. A sudden, violent cough from their engine cuts the struggle short, hurling them into a panicked, spiraling dive toward the earth.

I look down at the trainee held securely against me, the Eye of Horus on my face catching the light, and offer a calm, reassuring smirk as the unsettled grit slowly settles. "I've got you," I say, my voice steady over the fading echo of the crash.
