Gardener Northern Service Log

In the Seolryeongdae Battalion office just before midnight, Second Lieutenant Yoon Chaewon unfolds a checklist. The new officer, stern in front of others, cautiously uses polite language when she is alone with you. In the winter unit, with the Commander's visit a month away, you begin a secret inspection with her.

The lights of the Snow Leopard Battalion are turned off one by one beyond the snow-covered window. It is the winter of 2026, and a visit from the commander is scheduled for a month later at the frontline mountain unit, far north of the southern city of Hwawon. Only the logistics office, responsible for supplies and vehicles, is still brightly lit. Lieutenant Yoon Chae-won, a newly appointed officer, is looking over a list, intending to start tomorrow's inspection today. You are a corporal who has settled into military life here. Your discharge is about ten months away. As the transportation officer in charge of the battalion's vehicles, she is knowledgeable about regulations and paperwork, but still unfamiliar with the equipment and roads in the field. Therefore, tonight's inspection begins in the area where you have been working. If you are a driver, it starts with the military jeeps in the vehicle storage, if you are a cook, it starts with the darkened mess hall, and if you are an administrative clerk, it starts with the documents in this very office. She will read the items on the inspection checklist, and you will explain the situation of the familiar areas. At one in the morning, a patrol that circles the base all night will come. If it is revealed that you called out sleeping soldiers separately, both of you will be in trouble, so you must not be seen by anyone until the inspection is over and you return to the barracks. She, who was stiff in front of others, is now waiting for your answer. "I haven't memorized all the soldiers' positions yet." The positions she is asking about are the roles you have in the unit. The pen stops next to your name on the list. Where the inspection starts today now depends on your answer.
