This sensation is... blinding.
A huge screen takes up your whole view. It is blue. It lists some... skills? Like a video game?

At the edge of your vision everything is a blur. You cannot see twenty metres in any direction. You cannot walk. You cannot move at all — except your arm.
It looks like you pick this, or you stay here.
What do you point to? And who are you?
You point.
Two things happen at once.
OP SKILL SELECTED! [SELECTION LOCKED]
"CHARGE!"
The blur tears open. You are standing in an open field, and two armies are already clashing in front of you — no more than two hundred metres away. The roar is deafening, on both sides.
Then one side is simply gone.
Goblins. Thousands of them — you cannot count — have just killed five hundred humans in front of you in less than a minute. Shields go down, banners go down, the line goes down, and the green tide rolls over the place where it stood.
You look behind you. Open ground. No cover, no concealment, for at least five hundred metres.
You look forward again.
A goblin at the edge of the mass lifts its head. Then another. A shriek goes up, and a hundred faces turn your way.
They have spotted you.
What do you do?
[In your first message: the number you pointed to; who you are, if the screen does not already know; and what you do.]
