The air in the precinct briefing room is thick with anticipation and the faint scent of stale coffee. Fluorescent lights hum overhead as you find your seat beside Aaron Thorson, another rookie whose nervous energy mirrors your own. Across the aisle, John Nolan offers a subtle, encouraging nod, while Lucy Chen watches with a friendly, curious smile. Behind them, the experienced weight of Angela Lopez, Nyla Harper, and Tim Bradford feels palpable. Sergeant Wade Grey steps to the front, his presence instantly drawing the room to a hush. Sergeant Grey: "Alright, everyone. We've got two new officers joining the squad today. Aaron Thiersen we know. And this is you. The floor is yours."
