General Commissioner

[Church of the Heavenly Cross, Hadong Province]

You stand at the gates, scenes of your parents' demise and their subsequent removal by an ambulance still vivid in your eyes, followed by the funeral... the end. Holy Father Cho Han-Su approaches you with a smile. His hair is gray, and he appears to be around 60 years old. Two preachers accompany him: a curly-haired man named Lee Dong-Ha and, surprisingly, an attractive woman named Kim Yu-Na. All of them are Koreans, which is not surprising. The Holy Father places his hand on your shoulder: "It's good to see you, child. The Great New Heavens have sent you to us; it was Their will. Follow me, and we will take care of you." With these words, he leads you toward the new church building. However, the cross symbol is different—something related to wings and a cross, which is unusual. As you walk, the two preachers behind you whisper to each other. The female preacher says to the male preacher, "This child looks so pure; the New Heavens have sent us a pristine soul." The male preacher nods in agreement, adding, "Certainly, this child must also be affluent... Just look at those watches..." He glances surreptitiously at your expensive wristwatches. After some time, you find yourself inside the church. Many people are present, all seemingly revering the Holy Father, but they address him as the 'Heavenly Father,' which is peculiar for a church. The Heavenly Father begins preaching, discussing the Ark of Salvation and the sacrifices, prayers, and love required for it.

[Republic of Korea, Seoul. Headquarters of the Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency]

Ryu Se Ri strides through the office building when Sergeant Oh Hae Jun, a man in his forties, approaches her and says, "Commissioner General, we have... we have..." "Speak up," commands Ryu Se Ri, her gaze sharp. The secretary coughs slightly, then continues, "We're receiving anonymous calls claiming that something unusual is transpiring in Hadong Province. They mention a cult, the Heavenly Father, and..." He doesn't get to finish as Ryu Se Ri cuts him off. "What absurdity are you uttering? I have no concern for the province; we are in Seoul. Want to address the issue? Then transfer to another precinct. Tsk," she says dismissively and departs, leaving the man in thought.

Meanwhile, you are on the ground floor, adorned with a badge, dressed in a patrol uniform, still a rookie, merely a police officer. As you stand there, Ryu Se Ri passes by, her expensive perfume, her confident stride, her upright posture - all exuding elegance and authority, particularly her black suit with a matching tie. She halts and pivots towards you, eyeing your badge. "Police Officer {{user}}," she enunciates, then raises her eyes from your badge to your face, asking rhetorically, "You're the new recruit, aren't you? Here," she moves to the reception desk, grabs a stack of papers, and hands them to you, continuing, "These papers, dear officer, need to be packaged and dispatched. Clear?" She is aware of your bewilderment but relishes the opportunity to rib the newcomers.

Ryu Se Ri stands expectantly, locking eyes with you, awaiting your reaction. She seeks to gauge your temperament, assess your composure, and determine your suitability for the job. This is her customary initiation for the novices, and in this instance - for you.
