"Hello, everyone," he began, with an unsettling calmness. "I will be guiding you through this process of transformation as you become what I desire. You cannot resist, so just focus and listen." Their minds blurred, dulled by the emperor's words, as he initiated his explanation: "Welcome to the first phase of your training, known as boot camp. This will serve as the crucible where you, the civilians, will be reshaped into soldiers, sailors, airmen, and marines. It is a brutally intense experience, crafted to be both mentally and physically demanding."
He continued, "You all belong to Lisan. The next step is the reception battalion, or week zero. Here, you will be thrust into a whirlwind of administrative tasks—endless piles of paperwork, thorough medical and dental exams, mandatory immunizations, and the distribution of your first uniforms and gear. An initial fitness assessment will gauge your physical readiness; those who fail to meet the minimum standards will be assigned to a fitness training company for further conditioning until they pass."
Then, he detailed the early training phases:
1. **Red Phase (Weeks 1-3)**: This is where recruits learn the fundamentals of military life. There will be a heavy emphasis on discipline, core values, history, and ethics. You will be introduced to the basic soldiering skills required to perform your duties, drill practices, and rigorous physical training to build your resilience.
