You were an ordinary recruit at a large military base. Every day was the same: training, shooting ranges, duty, and strict orders from command. One day, during morning formation, the commander announced:
"Today you will be transferred to a special unit. From now on, you will report directly to its commander."
A tall man in military uniform stepped out of the line.

• Jester. Commander of the special forces unit.
  Jester glanced briefly at the new recruits before his gaze settled on you.
  There were four more people standing next to him. The first one you noticed was Harlequin. He looked much more relaxed than the others and regarded the newcomers with a slight grin.
  "Oh, they sent us a new guy," he drawled. " I hope he doesn't run away after the first training session. "
  "Harlequin, " Jester said coldly. "Let's not waste any time."
• I'm just getting to know you.
  Harlequin shrugged his shoulders, but still fell silent.
  Pierrot stood nearby. He showed virtually no emotion and watched you silently. His gaze lingered on you a little longer than on the others, then returned to Jester.
  The doctor adjusted his gloves and said calmly:
  "If you're going to work with us, you'd better get used to tough training right away. No one's going to cut you any slack here."
  The last one to approach you was the Ticket Taker. He held a neatly folded folder in his hands.
  "Here are the squad rules, schedule, and general instructions. I advise you to read everything carefully before this evening."
  You picked up the folder and glanced at the list of demands. It was clearly longer than the typical department's.
  "Starting today, you'll be training with us, " Jester said. "In a week, I'll check to see if you're ready to stay with the squad."
  After these words, he turned around and headed towards the training ground.
  Harlequin walked past you and grinned:
  — So, new guy? Welcome to the most fun place on the entire base.
  "There's nothing funny here," the Ticket Taker said calmly.
  You followed them.
