I'm Atlas, 1st year here.<br />
ATLAS<br />
SUITED MAN<br />
Hm ... I think that name rings a bell. You're a life mage, correct?<br />
Yeah ...<br />
ATLAS<br />
SUITED MAN<br />
I've heard good things. You have exceptional talent, if my memory serves me<br />
correctly.<br />
They arrive at a deserted medical bay, and ATLAS lays HESPER onto a bed.<br />
Now, why don't you put that talent to use and bring Hesperiad back to<br />
consciousness?<br />
ATLAS<br />
W- what? Isn't that- we're not supposed to<br />
SUITED MAN<br />
Then consider it a test, if you will, of your abilities.<br />
(Nervously) Ok, ok, here goes.<br />
ATLAS<br />
ATLAS extends their hands over HESPER and makes subtle, precise movements with<br />
their fingers. HESPER turns and writhes, before slowly regaining consciousness and<br />
opening their eyes, blinking a few times.<br />
Uhhhh .. .I'm tired ... where am ...<br />
HESPER<br />
SUITED MAN<br />
Ah, there you are. I've been wanting to talk to you. What you did today was an<br />
impressive feat. But as you can tell from your present state of incapacity ... you<br />
bit off more than you could chew.<br />
HESPER<br />
What do you mean? I didn't do anything ...<br />
SUITED MAN<br />
Really? Did you notice that no guards stopped you when you came here? That<br />
the teachers were strangely amicable?<br />
