Chapter Five248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5lzXgMLabz
“Briefing”
Every one of us here has a privileged position, as we all know; we are fortunate248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfaLZZKk11X
to serve our nation and our ruler to unparalleled levels, we are chosen and248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRMczFh3YBA
with our actions, we display the very best our kingdom has to offer. We are248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuura7IEGci
its strength and its cunning. We undertake what very few can even consider, and we248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPPfdnWyfbl
always succeed.248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUp8I5pjzcg
That is what we do, who we are.248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfo4XqdUrYl
We are both the first arrow and the rumoured dagger. We are fortunate for we are248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRCtUZc9W9V
thus allowed to see and know more than most ever will, but we are still far from seeing248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjtkBSnTZuc
and knowing everything, of hearing all the secrets. We are not told of certain things248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqB8CwwidJe
unless urgency for our services demands it and so sometimes, most the times, all the248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQab6DBmhtJ
privileged information is shared with us forcibly.Usually and unfortunately at the very248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZlsZLr0nhx
last hour and always at the most basic level required for our success, and anything248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMikqWLwOpv
else that I come to learn must be importuned, but such a thing has never hindered us.248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGvgvGQKvYE
Duty calls to us, our king bestows upon us the knowledge he deems necessary for us248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxiSmrpYBAr
to succeed, and we always do.248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4n6lqXy2Pe
Tonight will be no different. We will succeed regardless of how little we know.248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYe7N134yI4
Always remember that is who we are. Now that’s out of the way...248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8V6kgDkadC
I will now say something I do not usually need to tell you...248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2zMuDEggjL
I want everyone here to be extremely careful tonight and to never, under any248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs9OTrrnpFW
circumstance, underestimate the situation around you or even worse to overestimate248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ9f0vrrLMg
yourselves. I have always been reminded that all things should be taken in moderation,248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOv7nEf5vno
even experience, for too much of it can also harm. These are always important words248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡocpcspI8c2
I think, but it is not my intent to bother your ears with them...248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUYtAyTqNza
I will just leave you with this: I want every single one of you, tonight, to remember248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkLy4wuMnfE
at all times why we succeed...248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQCQKQ59F0I
I ask you all to promise me and yourselves this. Indulge me, please.248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡos7cHthszW
Tonight, will be a vastly different mission from any we had previously been charged248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyUYwdXZvv9
with, in both time and geography.248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDVZWOSWHJR
We are headed to a place like no other and never before has so little time been given248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6gfU5ZB3h5
to us to accomplish a mission. Never had I heard such urgency in his majesty’s voice.248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkceV1THU77
I was instructed to warn you that this is the most important mission the Hand has248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVz7MBWWVuF
ever been charged with - these are words from King Hervies himself as he stared me248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbZLQhSg7pD
in the eyes.248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ34lLdnBXOf
Be always mindful of this.248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgPQ1hEQdPS
So, as I am sure you are aware by now, we are heading up there, towards the top of248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd1JAI3fM6b
that mountain, into the facility established since the incident that killed this place.248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRg6xvGMYuW
I was told that we are not to expect any encountered resistance hence we bring only248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Bh2IuuG2Z
our basic weaponry, I was also warned that this mission is not one of search and rescue248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4m8Oh680qS
no matter how dire the situation presented to us.248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVlIwrlNMTG
We are not to go out of our way to rescue someone if such a scenario, however248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡanQlD2OPGj
unlikely, is presented to us. We are to move in fully prepared and expecting the worst248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQQrLwvPTHx
possible situation as we always do, for they never call us in otherwise. All we know as of248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMHhHSC99u8
now is that all forms of communication between the palace and all those stationed up248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtJNVxNEIgY
there were lost after six years of assiduity, cut off deliberately but not by our majesty’s248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVbz4Oh8Pln
command.248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjQRCCKmRzr
Those people stationed there come up with something, a discovery of great248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCotetV6PzR
importance, unprecedented. Whether it was one of the many research teams that248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdKBKFtTgoU
achieved it, or it was unburied by the digging team, this I do not know. I was not told248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD86hsbZoaq
about this.
