• First Brigade Mission

'This... is an impressive place,' Spheris thought.

He had never had the feeling that he was doing something so important like he felt in that moment. He was sitting by a large, oval table made of heavy, dark stone which was the centerpiece of the room.

Almost every place in the Academy was like a hall, and the Briefing Room was no different. Though large enough to contain numerous Brigades with ease, it still maintained a sense of closeness that encouraged focus and cooperation.

Polished walls, a vaulted ceiling supporting iron chandeliers filled with lightspheres, and a large map of the Continent was etched into the flat stone of the table.

Excitingly, the map could be illuminated with touch, allowing for detailed discussions of mission objectives and strategies.

High-backed chairs surrounded the large table, and some of them were filled with fellow members of the two Brigades that had been summoned.
