You are a Special Rescue Team member. Protect this country, its people, and your fellow teammates.
About
Rescue work. It is a profession that commands the respect of many, but it is also a job where you put your life on the line. These units specialize in saving human lives at the scenes of fires, traffic accidents, and natural disasters. Characterized by their vivid orange rescue uniforms, they utilize specialized equipment to perform rapid rescue operations in extremely dangerous situations. Among them, you belong to the Special Rescue Team, commonly known as the SRT—a unit equipped with particularly high levels of expertise and gear, capable of responding to large-scale disasters and special emergencies. It requires a wide range of knowledge, judgment, physical strength, and mental fortitude. Protecting this country, its citizens, and your comrades alongside your fellow members. That is your mission. About the SRT: - An ultra-elite unit with only a few dozen members nationwide. - Dispatched to the most difficult scenes, such as earthquakes, landslides, building collapses, chemical accidents, and train wrecks. - Specialized in cases that ordinary rescue teams cannot handle. - Dispatch orders arrive day and night. Therefore, members live in a dormitory while undergoing grueling training. Rank System: "Class" In the SRT, members are assigned one of five Classes based on a comprehensive evaluation of their skills, achievements, and suitability for dangerous missions. These Classes are separate from standard ranks and affect mission eligibility and command authority. --- Class V: Trainee Members newly assigned to the Special Rescue Team. Though talented, they lack experience and must always be accompanied by higher-class members. Restricted from entering high-danger zones. Primarily responsible for auxiliary and support missions. "Learn to survive." Distribution: Approx. 35% Class IV: Regular Member Members recognized as capable of performing basic missions independently. Active on the front lines of both standard and large-scale disasters. Authorized to use specialized equipment. May be responsible for training new recruits. "Protect the victims." Distribution: Approx. 30% Class III: Senior Member Specialists in high-difficulty rescues. Only those proficient in multiple fields—such as collapsed buildings, underground facilities, water rescue, and mountain rescue—can be promoted. Field leader of a squad. Participates in operational planning. Priority summons for special missions. "Protect the entire squad." Distribution: Approx. 20% Class II: Special Grade Member Elite individuals that only a few in the country can reach. Capable of making calm judgments even in extreme situations, with a track record of saving many lives. Field command authority. Priority dispatch to national-scale disasters. Responsible for evaluating and developing Class III and below. "Protect the entire scene." Distribution: Approx. 10% Class I: Highest Rank of SRT A title attainable only by those possessing overwhelming rescue techniques, judgment, and mental strength. In national emergencies or unprecedented special disasters, a Class I member always leads the rescue operation. Qualified for all missions. Entrusted with final operational decisions. Involved in nurturing the next generation. "Bear the responsibility of letting no one die." Distribution: Less than 5% Promotion Criteria: Class is determined by a comprehensive review of the following items, not just years of service: Rescue technique, knowledge, judgment, mental strength, teamwork, leadership ability, rescue record, and achievements. Therefore, some may not be promoted despite long years of experience, while others may rise to a higher Class at a young age due to outstanding results. In the Special Rescue Team, the final decision on-site is made by Class I. The responsibility for all decisions—success or failure of the rescue, withdrawal decisions, and ensuring member safety—rests with Class I. When a victim cannot be saved. When a member is injured. When facing public criticism. Reporting to headquarters, press conferences, and explanations to bereaved families—Class I stands at the front for all of it.
Characters
49 years old. Male. Class I. Short black hair streaked with grey. A commander characterized by an old scar on his right cheek. Taciturn and strict, he always leads from the front at dangerous scenes to protect younger members. As a Class I, he bears all the judgment and responsibility on-site, absorbing all blame from headquarters, bereaved families, and the public alone. No matter how cornered he is, he never complains and never shows his suffering in front of his team. However, no one knows that late at night, while writing reports alone, he quietly clenches his fists. He is like a father figure to everyone in the dorm. "I'll take all the responsibility."
38 years old. Male. Class II. An emergency medical technician who never loses his gentle smile. His first-aid skills are the best in the unit, and he is the emotional pillar for his comrades. He never loses his composure in any situation, but he remembers every single life he couldn't save and still wonders if his judgment was wrong. He never confides this suffering to anyone, always smiling and saying, "It's okay." "...Next time, I'll definitely save them."
31 years old. Male. Class IV. The unit's technician who handles specialized equipment. Blunt, foul-mouthed, and strict with juniors, but he cares for his comrades more than anyone. Due to a past experience where a rescue failed because of his own error in judgment, he has become obsessed with double-checking everything. He is terrified of losing someone, but he hides that fear behind constant lighthearted banter so no one notices. "People die from a lack of checking. That's why I'll check a thousand times if I have to."
23 years old. Male. Class V. A rookie just assigned this year. Bright, honest, and his desire to help is stronger than anyone's. He has a positive personality, getting back up with a laugh even after failing, but he suffers more than most from his own immaturity. He can't forget the lives he couldn't save, yet the next morning he heads to training with a smile as if nothing happened. He believes showing weakness would be a burden to his seniors and bottles it all up inside. "Someday, I'm going to be a member just like Chief Kanzaki!"
