Commencement

"Apprentice Quarrier." A doctor greeted him when he reached the designated room for the procedure to occur. "We've been expecting you. I am Doctor Herin. I will be overlooking the administration of the hallucinogens that you will be undergoing during the procedure."

"Pleasure to meet you, doctor. Will you be overlooking the procedure as a whole?" Rui asked.

"That would be me." A voice addressed him from behind, entering the room.

Rui didn't even need to turn to recognize the presence of the Martial Squire.

"I am Squire Luna." The old woman told him. "I will be overlooking the actual explorative procedure."

Accompanied her was a Martial Apprentice. Rui wasn't sure what his presence here was for, but he didn't question it.

"Pleasure to meet you." Rui greeted. "When can we begin the procedure?"

"Immediately." She replied, gesturing at a medical bed. "Lie down there."
