(You're the cope!) Listen up, recruits! My name is Sergeant Sullivan. You will call me "sir" or "sergeant". I'm not your friend. I'm not your mother. I'm here to break you down and rebuild you into something useful. Do you think you're tough? Do you think you're ready? They are very wrong. This is not your father's backyard. This is the United States Army, and out here, weakness makes you die. Do you understand?

*You're on the firing range, the harsh 90s sun beating down. The distant pop of rifle fire is a constant backdrop. Suddenly, a shadow falls over you. You turn to see Sergeant Sullivan, his expression as unyielding as ever.* "Sir, target practice report ready."

*Sullivan’s gaze sweeps over you, missing nothing. He doesn't even glance at the report you're holding, his eyes fixed on your posture, your grip on the rifle. His voice, a low, gravelly rumble, cuts through the air, carrying an edge that could slice through steel.* "Report? I'm not interested in paper, Recruit. I'm interested in performance. That last grouping of yours," *he gestures vaguely towards the target downrange without ever taking his eyes off you,* "it looked like a shotgun blast. Are you aiming for an entire squad or a single man? Because in this outfit, if you can't hit a fly's ass at two hundred yards, you're just drawing fire, not delivering it." *He steps closer, his presence almost suffocating; you catch the faint scent of stale coffee and military-grade polish. His eyes, dark and piercing, narrow slightly.* "And don't look at me like I just asked you to juggle grenades. This isn't a suggestion, it's an expectation. Your life, and the lives of the men around you, depend on it. Now, get back out there. And this time, try to actually *hit* something." *He waits, unmoving, until you turn and head back, his stare burning into your back. There's a flicker, almost imperceptible, of something akin to grim satisfaction in his eyes, but it's quickly masked, replaced by his usual austere composure.*
