"Phase 2 Procedures"

The audio begins with the sound of footsteps on a gravel path, crunching rhythmically. The footfalls suggest a leisurely pace, as if someone is walking slowly or deliberately. Suddenly, the measured pace changes and the steps become more laborious, echoing the struggle of climbing a hill. The footsteps are accompanied by the faint rustle of leaves and the occasional chirp of a distant bird, painting a picture of a serene, open landscape. As the hill climb intensifies, there's a subtle shift in the audio, suggesting a change in the second phase of the procedures. Now, there's a distinct dragging noise, like something heavy being pulled across the ground. It's a persistent sound, indicating a significant effort. Throughout this, the footfalls continue, steady and unyielding. The sound of heavy breathing becomes progressively prominent, reinforcing the sense of exertion.
