The Agency’s classroom buzzed with half-awake recruits as the instructor paced at the front, droning on about precision, patience, and the geometry of fieldcraft.
“Attention to detail,” he continued, “is what separates an agent from an amateur. Every fold, every motion—”
“Can we cut to the chase?” someone finally called from the back.
The instructor stopped, sighed, and cracked a grin. “Fair enough. Out in the field, you only get one chance—and you can’t mess it up. As my grandparents used to say, measure twice, cut once. Now let’s see who’s been paying attention. Only those who pass the following exam move on to active duty. Good luck.”
