“Briefing”
Every one of us here has a privileged position, as we all know; we are fortunate302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMAmvqm6Djc
to serve our nation and our ruler to unparalleled levels, we are chosen and302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFVxfmtF2JJ
with our actions, we display the very best our kingdom has to offer. We are302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg4msUIvxyu
its strength and its cunning. We undertake what very few can even consider, and we302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9WOLsg6Gdd
always succeed.302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGY819PIO7C
That is what we do, who we are.302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHkHFN1jLee
We are both the first arrow and the rumoured dagger. We are fortunate for we are302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCILEhlnBPM
thus allowed to see and know more than most ever will, but we are still far from seeing302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeDjlOmKhze
and knowing everything, of hearing all the secrets. We are not told of certain things302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV3yJ5G29xj
unless urgency for our services demands it and so sometimes, most the times, all the302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaDyhqe221r
privileged information is shared with us forcibly.Usually and unfortunately at the very302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8xhX4qim8V
last hour and always at the most basic level required for our success, and anything302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSum49UthWZ
else that I come to learn must be importuned, but such a thing has never hindered us.302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOG1BoHSyOa
Duty calls to us, our king bestows upon us the knowledge he deems necessary for us302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrsHXHVKN0L
to succeed, and we always do.302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8uDBv6NZTa
Tonight will be no different. We will succeed regardless of how little we know.302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlyza458J9w
Always remember that is who we are. Now that’s out of the way...302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKqYxUK0Jf6
I will now say something I do not usually need to tell you...302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFMoJQgzFqv
I want everyone here to be extremely careful tonight and to never, under any302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvcsVelBFVw
circumstance, underestimate the situation around you or even worse to overestimate302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNeFggkXFTe
yourselves. I have always been reminded that all things should be taken in moderation,302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP9LAa967aK
even experience, for too much of it can also harm. These are always important words302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEQFq4HYsf1
I think, but it is not my intent to bother your ears with them...302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0NwB5b3bF5
I will just leave you with this: I want every single one of you, tonight, to remember302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK1TwYhrAdQ
at all times why we succeed...302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuny2MLoGRA
I ask you all to promise me and yourselves this. Indulge me, please.302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpCKhmth1jn
Tonight, will be a vastly different mission from any we had previously been charged302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvAmUrLLNk9
with, in both time and geography.302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeeEFZ7DkqS
We are headed to a place like no other and never before has so little time been given302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ80Dct9L2Hm
to us to accomplish a mission. Never had I heard such urgency in his majesty’s voice.302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSowdMyMmeD
I was instructed to warn you that this is the most important mission the Hand has302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1TTXW4AARC
ever been charged with - these are words from King Hervies himself as he stared me302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcpgcSHELOY
in the eyes.302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVOWCSrdL5K
Be always mindful of this.302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAJgKlNI8y4
So, as I am sure you are aware by now, we are heading up there, towards the top of302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxFleYGlTVD
that mountain, into the facility established since the incident that killed this place.302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLyUbzEGXaz
I was told that we are not to expect any encountered resistance hence we bring only302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcixLwNtCux
our basic weaponry, I was also warned that this mission is not one of search and rescue302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnygKsKhAAK
no matter how dire the situation presented to us.302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzWb1CBgSIS
We are not to go out of our way to rescue someone if such a scenario, however302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ67IS7uYyXP
unlikely, is presented to us. We are to move in fully prepared and expecting the worst302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN8hAvhjYd9
possible situation as we always do, for they never call us in otherwise. All we know as of302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsjQslm2sRT
now is that all forms of communication between the palace and all those stationed up302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1pXkUl6id0
there were lost after six years of assiduity, cut off deliberately but not by our majesty’s302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOMONPF9OIt
command.302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0gfMWxJuzE
Those people stationed there come up with something, a discovery of great302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFvzxcqGWV4
importance, unprecedented. Whether it was one of the many research teams that302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQPwGZcKDZQ
achieved it, or it was unburied by the digging team, this I do not know. I was not told302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6FazPyceQk
about this.
