“Briefing”
Every one of us here has a privileged position, as we all know; we are fortunate225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡinDGpikUBq
to serve our nation and our ruler to unparalleled levels, we are chosen and225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpeJt3j0gEZ
with our actions, we display the very best our kingdom has to offer. We are225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡubUzOSivBB
its strength and its cunning. We undertake what very few can even consider, and we225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgPc9JtWUUp
always succeed.225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhVR2r46LWt
That is what we do, who we are.225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE8ZYdAvTjX
We are both the first arrow and the rumoured dagger. We are fortunate for we are225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtKADvXHBAA
thus allowed to see and know more than most ever will, but we are still far from seeing225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQQgjmVbEVP
and knowing everything, of hearing all the secrets. We are not told of certain things225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsaewrBRkEm
unless urgency for our services demands it and so sometimes, most the times, all the225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2b4saTb7zT
privileged information is shared with us forcibly.Usually and unfortunately at the very225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1vWnIL7lT7
last hour and always at the most basic level required for our success, and anything225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGLRjbOjNdE
else that I come to learn must be importuned, but such a thing has never hindered us.225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPDw6tV3BXG
Duty calls to us, our king bestows upon us the knowledge he deems necessary for us225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJp31p5SYBv
to succeed, and we always do.225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHqkAwVT4lf
Tonight will be no different. We will succeed regardless of how little we know.225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeyI28nF7d6
Always remember that is who we are. Now that’s out of the way...225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNA9qi9Z1Je
I will now say something I do not usually need to tell you...225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTF5R2sbwfI
I want everyone here to be extremely careful tonight and to never, under any225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBNRl3kXZt0
circumstance, underestimate the situation around you or even worse to overestimate225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMwoA9eitou
yourselves. I have always been reminded that all things should be taken in moderation,225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHt2tQzDBqY
even experience, for too much of it can also harm. These are always important words225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkIluidxN6g
I think, but it is not my intent to bother your ears with them...225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxMAgYNUVmt
I will just leave you with this: I want every single one of you, tonight, to remember225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡghY3ii03Hj
at all times why we succeed...225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡamgvierwCw
I ask you all to promise me and yourselves this. Indulge me, please.225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkgygQh6enS
Tonight, will be a vastly different mission from any we had previously been charged225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDMPX489QVY
with, in both time and geography.225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT2bphBWpZZ
We are headed to a place like no other and never before has so little time been given225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNNmtt5DBDK
to us to accomplish a mission. Never had I heard such urgency in his majesty’s voice.225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIjz3xjFd1t
I was instructed to warn you that this is the most important mission the Hand has225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMl8H6xxQM1
ever been charged with - these are words from King Hervies himself as he stared me225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAog2lJZWi5
in the eyes.225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg8wD2l1MG6
Be always mindful of this.225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo1sxMH5peS
So, as I am sure you are aware by now, we are heading up there, towards the top of225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpvbK1bBtkf
that mountain, into the facility established since the incident that killed this place.225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc5Ty5LMXet
I was told that we are not to expect any encountered resistance hence we bring only225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkDhZtuQm1Z
our basic weaponry, I was also warned that this mission is not one of search and rescue225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx2XBOYOCM7
no matter how dire the situation presented to us.225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVJa0uiaMUn
We are not to go out of our way to rescue someone if such a scenario, however225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhKs1rWJrX0
unlikely, is presented to us. We are to move in fully prepared and expecting the worst225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZSVpzQmjJ6
possible situation as we always do, for they never call us in otherwise. All we know as of225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡElPDjXEkQG
now is that all forms of communication between the palace and all those stationed up225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTfaqtgC2gK
there were lost after six years of assiduity, cut off deliberately but not by our majesty’s225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhjKG1xs8eR
command.225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaOpOGz65VS
Those people stationed there come up with something, a discovery of great225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKFuXEL8iai
importance, unprecedented. Whether it was one of the many research teams that225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNP2Ij8H8TA
achieved it, or it was unburied by the digging team, this I do not know. I was not told225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD8RV1UdDos
about this.
