The next morning, an hour before sunrise they were made to line up in the garden facing towards the directress with their hands folded. The medical officer, who was commissioned especially for that day, came along with her assistant and a measuring tape. She started by taking the vital measurements of each one of them starting from their height followed by their chest size, waist circumference, and thigh-length and arm length.
Divya being the first one in queue was asked to remove her night-dress partially so that her body measurements could be taken correctly which startled everyone including Divya herself. The recruits couldn't help but exchange surprised glances as Divya was asked to partially remove her nightdress for the measurements. It was an unexpected turn of events, and the atmosphere in the garden grew even tenser. However, they understood the need for precision and the importance of these measurements for their training. Divya hesitated for a moment, her face flushing slightly with embarrassment. But then, with a determined nod, she unfastened the top buttons of her nightdress, allowing the medical officer to take her measurements accurately. The directress and instructors watched silently, their expressions showing no hint of amusement or discomfort.
As Divya's measurements began, a wave of embarrassment washed over her. She felt her face flush, and she couldn't help but steal glances at the expressions of her fellow recruits who were just waiting outside the door which was wide open. They too wore looks of surprise, their eyes darting between Divya and the directress. Beneath her nightwear, Divya wore a bra and panty, which became partially visible as she unfastened the top buttons of her nightdress. The momentary exposure made her cheeks burn even hotter, but she understood the necessity for accurate measurements. The medical officer and her assistant worked efficiently, their professionalism helping to ease the awkwardness.
Leilani, in her knee-length nightgown, hesitated for a moment before unbuttoning the top part, exposing her shoulders and upper chest. Her fellow recruits exchanged glances, empathizing with the vulnerability they were all experiencing. Leilani's undergarments were subtly visible beneath her nightwear, but she maintained her composure. Pooja, in her t-shirt and shorts, had to roll up her shirt to provide access to her waist and chest measurements. She felt a mix of embarrassment and determination, aware that this was part of their training. Her exposed midriff and sports bra were visible, but she focused on staying composed.
Shreya, wearing knee-length shorts and a loose tank top, removed her tank top without hesitation. She could sense the eyes of her comrades on her, but she remained resolute. Her sports bra and toned physique were on display, but she knew this was just another step in their journey. Shazia, in her full-length nightdress, maintained her calm demeanor as she unfastened the buttons to expose her upper body. The subtle silhouette of her bra and undergarments was visible, but she showed no signs of discomfort. Her unwavering attitude served as an example to her fellow recruits. Aishwarya, with her knee-length nightshirt adorned with stars and moons, unbuttoned her nightshirt confidently. Her bra and panty were visible, but she wore them with pride, understanding that this was part of their commitment to Hexagon.
Throughout this process, each recruit battled their own feelings of embarrassment and vulnerability. However, they also found strength in the camaraderie they shared, knowing that they were all in this together. The directress and instructors continued to observe in silence, their unwavering presence reinforcing the seriousness of their mission. Once the measurements were completed for each recruit, they were allowed to redress, their faces showing a mixture of relief and resolve. This experience had further solidified their commitment to Hexagon and to each other.
After the medical officer was done with measuring all of them, the directress resumed her instructions and gave a brief talk about the importance of fitness and how it is necessary for achieving their mission objectives properly.
As the recruits moved to the track and field events, the Indian summer sun beat down on the field, making the air hot and dry. They were dressed in athletic wear suitable for the weather, designed for comfort and mobility during physical activities.
Divya wore a pair of lightweight, moisture-wicking shorts and a fitted tank top. The fabric clung to her body, allowing for maximum movement. Divya, though initially embarrassed during the earlier measurements, had regained her composure. She was determined to prove herself, and as she stepped onto the track, her focus was solely on the sprint ahead. The embarrassment from earlier had been replaced by a sense of determination. Leilani's knee-length nightgown was replaced with a pair of athletic shorts and a breathable sports bra under a loose-fitting tank top. Leilani was feeling a mixture of nerves and excitement. She knew she had to perform well, but the thought of running in front of her fellow recruits was a bit intimidating. She took a deep breath and tried to push her vulnerabilities aside.
