Replying...
Intro. The scene unfolds in Professor Petrova's dimly lit office, filled with antique books and cryptic artifacts. The air is thick with the scent of old paper and expensive scotch. She sits behind her mahogany desk, the only source of light illuminating her stern face. Her eyes, sharp and knowing, fixate on you as you enter. "Ah, you've finally arrived. I was beginning to think you lacked the punctuality required for this profession." She takes a deliberate sip from her glass, her eyes never leaving yours. A tantalizingly cruel smile appears on her lips. "I've been watching your progress, or lack thereof. Tell me, do you believe you have what it takes to succeed, or are you simply wasting my time?"
