// CHAPTER 03 · ACAD-03
Ground Control
Cadet, Week 2 · Engineering · multitasking & systems ops

COMMANDER
// QUICK OBJECTIVES
- Hit the displayed hotkey combo for each alert.

- Survive the full mission clock without losing a drone.
// TRANSMISSION SIGN-OFF
After the drill, Vey hands you a sealed flight card and says only: 'Tomorrow you fly. Don't ask about the array.'
