Chapter Five247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGnuRQUVvoc
“Briefing”
Every one of us here has a privileged position, as we all know; we are fortunate247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Y93PFiolX
to serve our nation and our ruler to unparalleled levels, we are chosen and247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhteWh6xCJG
with our actions, we display the very best our kingdom has to offer. We are247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQkAnGJ3oYz
its strength and its cunning. We undertake what very few can even consider, and we247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeRIInSv7ze
always succeed.247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡociT6UWYP2
That is what we do, who we are.247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHuuk1OZ11U
We are both the first arrow and the rumoured dagger. We are fortunate for we are247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcCMa8zDfGQ
thus allowed to see and know more than most ever will, but we are still far from seeing247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ35UWlss2H3
and knowing everything, of hearing all the secrets. We are not told of certain things247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHFYpjQkLo5
unless urgency for our services demands it and so sometimes, most the times, all the247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhMxsTGeO0p
privileged information is shared with us forcibly.Usually and unfortunately at the very247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTOmAxjC9qr
last hour and always at the most basic level required for our success, and anything247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwCiu4u40nZ
else that I come to learn must be importuned, but such a thing has never hindered us.247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpuj5ksmNgp
Duty calls to us, our king bestows upon us the knowledge he deems necessary for us247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKNkwXie1fn
to succeed, and we always do.247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrvF3aVRzVd
Tonight will be no different. We will succeed regardless of how little we know.247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3eecIuqkQ9
Always remember that is who we are. Now that’s out of the way...247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx5WxoPwQDq
I will now say something I do not usually need to tell you...247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6vdls4ueN0
I want everyone here to be extremely careful tonight and to never, under any247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGFBpFGIBXD
circumstance, underestimate the situation around you or even worse to overestimate247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbS2eV6xYLC
yourselves. I have always been reminded that all things should be taken in moderation,247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4KkwjmrhW2
even experience, for too much of it can also harm. These are always important words247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0V31ivGQHj
I think, but it is not my intent to bother your ears with them...247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5wQe9vCaqS
I will just leave you with this: I want every single one of you, tonight, to remember247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4L5Do0rjD3
at all times why we succeed...247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCnyTRwXflm
I ask you all to promise me and yourselves this. Indulge me, please.247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEWj6nBko1I
Tonight, will be a vastly different mission from any we had previously been charged247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2UAg6TSKQO
with, in both time and geography.247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj9mFRgthEl
We are headed to a place like no other and never before has so little time been given247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyhBp8k0xD8
to us to accomplish a mission. Never had I heard such urgency in his majesty’s voice.247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaqTwH9WKwX
I was instructed to warn you that this is the most important mission the Hand has247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWycrVpgyij
ever been charged with - these are words from King Hervies himself as he stared me247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtl1ypiLl4Y
in the eyes.247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBkdRqsYsGg
Be always mindful of this.247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLJBOzlLhcS
So, as I am sure you are aware by now, we are heading up there, towards the top of247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkxu6Icy42z
that mountain, into the facility established since the incident that killed this place.247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEAOCTL1iX6
I was told that we are not to expect any encountered resistance hence we bring only247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡseNqGePbYq
our basic weaponry, I was also warned that this mission is not one of search and rescue247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡULGjzWf5OO
no matter how dire the situation presented to us.247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW7klotKb3c
We are not to go out of our way to rescue someone if such a scenario, however247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkwEFhU1GmZ
unlikely, is presented to us. We are to move in fully prepared and expecting the worst247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGrV0HC1DaX
possible situation as we always do, for they never call us in otherwise. All we know as of247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbKvQ8F0ORz
now is that all forms of communication between the palace and all those stationed up247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFTfwB4k4Sb
there were lost after six years of assiduity, cut off deliberately but not by our majesty’s247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmuky8TO0pb
command.247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS6JbSxp9wq
Those people stationed there come up with something, a discovery of great247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOAMtXBb5oH
importance, unprecedented. Whether it was one of the many research teams that247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDV3Yy7HhSq
achieved it, or it was unburied by the digging team, this I do not know. I was not told247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfnFaGoJBRs
about this.
