The deep hum of the CRVT - Richie's engines resonated through the cargo bay, a powerful, rhythmic pulse that belied the stillness of the air within. Here, amidst the neatly stowed modules for the soon-to-be-built Amazon base, Richard and Lina stood, their attention solely on Ciano.

"Ciano," Richard began, his voice clear in the vast space, "you will undergo a genetic enhancement. This procedure is designed to provide you with the necessary physiological and cognitive capabilities for the monumental task ahead in Brazil." Richard paused, letting the words sink in.
"You will be my first soldier in a specialized operations force. Sooner, I will employ many more like you, and you will be their leader. You will lead them, and for that, you are burdened with this task to prove yourself. This specific force will be instrumental in the mission I am about to explain."
