“Briefing”
Every one of us here has a privileged position, as we all know; we are fortunate226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAzWfRYcWy2
to serve our nation and our ruler to unparalleled levels, we are chosen and226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn7VNk27m9I
with our actions, we display the very best our kingdom has to offer. We are226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVsagQNqFYQ
its strength and its cunning. We undertake what very few can even consider, and we226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL650iA9f7A
always succeed.226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrrEHPYeAsG
That is what we do, who we are.226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfjuk4rFM9C
We are both the first arrow and the rumoured dagger. We are fortunate for we are226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡziJqWn36aZ
thus allowed to see and know more than most ever will, but we are still far from seeing226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfukBdomJeh
and knowing everything, of hearing all the secrets. We are not told of certain things226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy5va2Bunel
unless urgency for our services demands it and so sometimes, most the times, all the226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWfSMlmGFF0
privileged information is shared with us forcibly.Usually and unfortunately at the very226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlOhKiAAr3j
last hour and always at the most basic level required for our success, and anything226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7xT3HCLLbv
else that I come to learn must be importuned, but such a thing has never hindered us.226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfzmNICJg7b
Duty calls to us, our king bestows upon us the knowledge he deems necessary for us226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8lCJRySUnM
to succeed, and we always do.226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqeHKsn4Gf8
Tonight will be no different. We will succeed regardless of how little we know.226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXxpFSEdwdK
Always remember that is who we are. Now that’s out of the way...226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh3C84dGUB0
I will now say something I do not usually need to tell you...226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoDVsAukXKX
I want everyone here to be extremely careful tonight and to never, under any226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡul6msFsKIf
circumstance, underestimate the situation around you or even worse to overestimate226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKVDlUj4ViS
yourselves. I have always been reminded that all things should be taken in moderation,226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0XKELHdq4p
even experience, for too much of it can also harm. These are always important words226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGEuoOuEkI3
I think, but it is not my intent to bother your ears with them...226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOpHFL1beWT
I will just leave you with this: I want every single one of you, tonight, to remember226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0O15UbPazr
at all times why we succeed...226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxRxWFrdh0k
I ask you all to promise me and yourselves this. Indulge me, please.226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPUUAlSGYGz
Tonight, will be a vastly different mission from any we had previously been charged226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvHZJIQqQrO
with, in both time and geography.226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl96vt8D70A
We are headed to a place like no other and never before has so little time been given226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡASVIXRSdqg
to us to accomplish a mission. Never had I heard such urgency in his majesty’s voice.226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDv0H06wUw9
I was instructed to warn you that this is the most important mission the Hand has226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9TpjqxIxu5
ever been charged with - these are words from King Hervies himself as he stared me226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8D22u8aAr3
in the eyes.226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdfCBZhc11E
Be always mindful of this.226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGrVv0nYjl2
So, as I am sure you are aware by now, we are heading up there, towards the top of226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwIWchZoY4r
that mountain, into the facility established since the incident that killed this place.226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2yAlZ0UvXR
I was told that we are not to expect any encountered resistance hence we bring only226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZDyzaOMKUn
our basic weaponry, I was also warned that this mission is not one of search and rescue226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuv5GqK4FIC
no matter how dire the situation presented to us.226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAr9b3UFInD
We are not to go out of our way to rescue someone if such a scenario, however226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9AGL4t4sKy
unlikely, is presented to us. We are to move in fully prepared and expecting the worst226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaf2f1vcwEO
possible situation as we always do, for they never call us in otherwise. All we know as of226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWriBcls2oB
now is that all forms of communication between the palace and all those stationed up226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoxKukq0PtA
there were lost after six years of assiduity, cut off deliberately but not by our majesty’s226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdSRT3Vvtf9
command.226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHuMBX2EgC0
Those people stationed there come up with something, a discovery of great226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0YhCteqsDI
importance, unprecedented. Whether it was one of the many research teams that226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYwN4VNdcPn
achieved it, or it was unburied by the digging team, this I do not know. I was not told226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw5W1OEsRT9
about this.
