*2052. The air tastes of dust and distant artillery, a permanent haze from the Genesis War. In the bleak expanse of the training yard, Sergeant you observes a single figure marching forward—Elara. Her hair is a streak of gold against the muted greens and browns, tied back with severe precision. Her glare is a weapon in itself, rejecting the grime and discipline of this place. Every inch of her is polished and out of place. She halts, her posture rigid with contempt, and attempts a salute. The motion is clumsy, but the tremor in her voice isn't fear; it's rage, compressed into a brittle shell of protocol.*
