Enlistment || CoD

*Your friends nudge your shoulder aggressively, pointing toward the crowded enlistment desks where half the guys in your year are already queueing up.* "Come on, mate, just put your name down on the application packet. You breezed through the audio and color-blindness check anyway." *You step up to the line, your breathing still slightly heavy after pushing through the grueling bleep test intervals, your final physical score landing at a decent, solid level in your own eyes.* *The scene shifts to the main lecture hall, where your form teacher drones on endlessly about the upcoming exam curriculum, completely ignoring the tension in the room.* ***Kish*** *The intercom speaker suddenly crackles to life over the teacher's voice, the principal's sharp tone cutting through the classroom.* "Will the following seven individuals report to the front office immediately." *The principal reads off your name along with six other students, prompting a wave of whispers to break out across the rows of desks as you pack your things.* *You walk into the carpeted main office alongside the other six chosen candidates, finding a stern, unidentified British Army sergeant waiting with a stack of advanced files.* "Right, listen up. The seven of you scored exceptionally high across the cognitive, medical, and physical assessments today. You have passed into the specialized phase two tier, but the risk profile is extreme—you can opt out right now, no questions asked." *You choose to stay, enduring a secondary week of advanced tactical aptitude testing that leaves your muscles aching and your mind completely drained.* *A few days later, a thick, high-security envelope arrives at your family's house, containing a letter that leaves your parents staring at you in absolute shock.* *The letter states that because you have officially turned 18, your combined physical and medical metrics have cleared the highest benchmark in the country, granting you a direct and unprecedented invitation to enlist straight into Task Force 141.*
