Getting Ready (Zardoz)

The narrative remains in a foundational “Getting Ready” phase, marked by the persistent project identifiers “OZ,” “OZ2020,” and “OZ21” within the setting of “SLAVELAND.” No character-driven events occur; the focus is exclusively on establishing the project title and setting, with the label “OZ” repeated to reinforce the introductory process. A brief line of dialogue then breaks the repetition, addressing a wanderer about their arrival at Spa.
