Candidate Bash
The infamous Pilot Candidate Orientation, lead by the Director of Candidate Affairs, Roman Rosales. It started out as a normal orientation until one of the accompanying Pilots, Dyerlich, struck a candidate named Val Mynatt. Val talked back, and so Roman made an example of Val, giving him the choice to strip down in front of his fellow candidates--or suffer worse consequences. It was a test of obedience and subordination and a way to reinforce the idea that, as Pilots, you are often ordered to do things you do not want to do--but the consequences of failing to do so can be brutal.
Val refused. Very rudely and inappropriately.
So Val earned the more severe consequence: crippling, which was both literal and symbolic, a way to shatter Val's illusions. Val's roommate, Col Savage, was forced to pin Val to the front desk while Roman crushed Val's leg with a sledgehammer.
As Val was rushed to the infirmary afterwards, the orientation continued on as normal, much to the horror of all the candidates present.
