The next morning, at precisely 6:55, a almost deafening blast of sound filled the barracks followed by the artificially amplified voice of Nereal, "Alright brothers and sisters in arms it's time to rise and have an hour of pre-breakfast exercise before ... you work it out. I'm sure you'll be glad to hear that your comrades who did not succeed the race have been improving themselves with five hours of exercise already this morning. Except for Infantry-woman Rerael - it was decided that she needed a little more practise finding her way home." The voice ended. What they didn't know that Rerael had been found over twenty miles away from the installation close to tears after getting well and truly lost. After comforting her a little Nerael had given her a weeks works of supplies in a backpack and dropped her three days away by foot from the installation.
Outside in the courtyard thirty Elysian Infantry men and women were doing press ups and looking truly exhausted. Having between six and four hours sleep followed by five hours of exercise with knowledge that there would be another hour to come - and all of this after a twenty mile run - such a reaction was to be expected.
"I think we'll start with fifty star-jumps. And match the same speed as everyone else." Nerael called from where he was working out with everyone else - as he had been doing for the last five hours.
