Location: Starforge Nexus - Training Chamber | Luminari Artifact Dimensional Fold
Time: Day 113 (Month Four, Week Four) - Morning
Jayde woke to the soft chime of the Starforge Nexus's morning cycle. After months here, her body had adapted to the artificial day-night patterns Isha maintained. She stretched, feeling yesterday's mental exhaustion rather than physical strain. Leadership training with Green had been intense—understanding cultivation politics, power structures, the brutal realities of how this world actually worked.
(Today's the cultivation defense training,) Jade reminded her. (Green said she'd teach us how to actually hide from cultivators.)
Practical application of defensive protocols. Critical for survival outside the artifact.
