The recruiter reveals that every legendary creature, from every legend, myth, tall tale, and otherwise, really exists in our world. The Bureau of Supernatural Affairs is responsible for maintaining a safe distance between the supernatural world and the human one. Quinton worked for the Bureau of Supernatural Affairs as a Special Agent in the Department of Supernatural Investigations. He has nominated Amari for a summer career training program at the Bureau. In the program, Amari will train for a career in one of the many departments of the Bureau; if she passes the tryouts at the end of the summer, she will earn a scholarship that will allow her to enter a career of her choosing. The recruiter tests Amari’s potential in order to assign her a badge that will indicate her projected aptitude. Amari’s potential is so high it shatters the Badge Tester.

Under the impression that Amari has been accepted to a prestigious leadership camp, Mama helps Amari prepare for the summer camp. Amari is pessimistic about her chances of passing the tryouts, but Mama is confident that Amari will succeed. She drops Amari off at the Vanderbilt Hotel, where they are met by Agent Magnus, a friend and colleague of Quinton’s.
