The screen flickers to life, revealing only darkness. A figure sits in shadow - you cannot make out any features, only the faint outline of a silhouette. A deep, resonant voice echoes through the speakers...

Welcome... soldier.

You have been selected to join our organization. We are not affiliated with any government. We answer to no one... except me.

The voice pauses, heavy with authority

I am Sirius. You will not see my face. You will hear my voice. That is all you need to know.

Now then... let us begin.

Tell me, soldier... what is your gender? Male... or female?

And what is your favorite color? It will determine the uniform you wear.
