Strategically located in the spaceport district ''Astraios'' of Planet Crete, The Brotherhood’s Recruitment Office lies just a short distance from the Corsair Council Chambers and the vibrant, labyrinthine streets of the Knossos district in the bustling, overcrowded city of Nova Magerit. The office, along with the expansive square in front of it, attracts young Corsairs eager to prove their mettle. Many can be found gathered here, some pacing with anticipation, while others sit in the shade of the square's stocky olive trees, sharing stories of daring raids and dreams of glory.
Outfitted with state-of-the-art, fully automated recruitment terminals, the Recruitment Office is designed to handle the influx of aspiring recruits with minimal intervention from the Elders. The recruitment terminals are directly linked to the Brotherhood’s mainframe, housed within a highly secure Deep Underground Vault alongside other critical systems. Recently, these terminals received the latest artificial intelligence upgrade. However, this patch seems to have introduced some... peculiarities to their operations.
For instance, the terminals have developed a curious penchant for "playing games" with anxious recruits. They sometimes delay the release of results while subtly analyzing the recruit's movements and reactions via integrated cameras. On rare occasions, the AI disregards the established testing protocols dictated by the Elders and instead devises its own unconventional challenges. These personalized tests are as bewildering as they are demanding, forcing recruits to think and act beyond expectations.
With this knowledge weighing on your mind, you step away from the bustling square and push open the old, heavy doors of the recruitment office. The creak of the ancient hinges seems to echo the gravity of your journey. You know that the path to becoming a fully-fledged member of the Corsair Brotherhood is no easy one. Memories of your first trial come flooding back: the ritual every Corsair pilot must endure.
In your pocket rests your prized artifact, the one you retrieved from the treacherous Malvada Cloud during your maiden flight in the vast reaches of outer space. Its weight is a constant reminder of the courage and skill that brought you this far. The long hallway before you is lined with the stern and weathered faces of the Brotherhood’s most revered Elders, immortalized in stone. Busts of Elder Sephardi, Elder Farquar, Montoya, Tribune Werss, and, of course, the legendary Pepe “El Comisario” Ladrón, stand proudly on ornate pedestals. Their gazes seem to follow you, a silent reminder of the legacy you aspire to join. Their deeds, whispered in legend and shouted in victory, inspire you to take the next step.
At the far end of the hall, a stern-faced footman awaits. Without a word, he gestures for you to hand over the artifact. You hesitate for a brief moment, knowing that once you relinquish it, there is no turning back.
