`` Testudo!'' Captain Sylo barked. 
 
 The mass of recruits hesitated for a second before closing ranks. Another brief moment of fumbling ensued before everyone raised their shields to cover the front and top of the formation. 
 
 `` Too late! The damn Imperials mowed you all down with a volley of arrows!'' the officer screamed. `` Front leaning rest position, move!'' 
 
 `` Sir, aye aye, sir!'' the men and women laid down their shields and spears and dropped to the ground. 
 
 `` Down, up!'' Sylo performed a perfect push-up. 
 
 The troops followed. `` One, sir!'' 
 
 `` Down, up!'' 
 
 `` Two, sir!'' 
 
 That was the first minute of the first hour of the first day of training.
