“Briefing”
Every one of us here has a privileged position, as we all know; we are fortunate224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1EeZM35NB9
to serve our nation and our ruler to unparalleled levels, we are chosen and224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLPc9nGZTXB
with our actions, we display the very best our kingdom has to offer. We are224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOWLoZIkzja
its strength and its cunning. We undertake what very few can even consider, and we224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVa1UWOVQGa
always succeed.224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhIhEG48n74
That is what we do, who we are.224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1xwNgLruAu
We are both the first arrow and the rumoured dagger. We are fortunate for we are224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkgNUgHGyAo
thus allowed to see and know more than most ever will, but we are still far from seeing224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh489rbFpao
and knowing everything, of hearing all the secrets. We are not told of certain things224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUOLKegYgAT
unless urgency for our services demands it and so sometimes, most the times, all the224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ClmgdufCB
privileged information is shared with us forcibly.Usually and unfortunately at the very224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkCfASqxKfX
last hour and always at the most basic level required for our success, and anything224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdf7U0ErQ6r
else that I come to learn must be importuned, but such a thing has never hindered us.224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3GzAuftyym
Duty calls to us, our king bestows upon us the knowledge he deems necessary for us224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEQwcZdAoYn
to succeed, and we always do.224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ10grGZKQcC
Tonight will be no different. We will succeed regardless of how little we know.224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI8KK4QqYH7
Always remember that is who we are. Now that’s out of the way...224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡitrWYTPs8c
I will now say something I do not usually need to tell you...224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1bjdmFt31k
I want everyone here to be extremely careful tonight and to never, under any224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLAoNTQEQsi
circumstance, underestimate the situation around you or even worse to overestimate224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7B22DcDpJb
yourselves. I have always been reminded that all things should be taken in moderation,224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHxfKn0jd6p
even experience, for too much of it can also harm. These are always important words224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxzLpW8XD0k
I think, but it is not my intent to bother your ears with them...224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWHStM2BO83
I will just leave you with this: I want every single one of you, tonight, to remember224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAsxUaZcAGs
at all times why we succeed...224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8jrszxU7A0
I ask you all to promise me and yourselves this. Indulge me, please.224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuXcBy2Dko6
Tonight, will be a vastly different mission from any we had previously been charged224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaYj4fhDMnP
with, in both time and geography.224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP3LAKE9O8v
We are headed to a place like no other and never before has so little time been given224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpMQtEsuQnq
to us to accomplish a mission. Never had I heard such urgency in his majesty’s voice.224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOBR9p3xnfA
I was instructed to warn you that this is the most important mission the Hand has224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK2jy1lebF2
ever been charged with - these are words from King Hervies himself as he stared me224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN88AUJYl5n
in the eyes.224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzbTxRO3INh
Be always mindful of this.224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0AKd2V5OXP
So, as I am sure you are aware by now, we are heading up there, towards the top of224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGHibxn6m2m
that mountain, into the facility established since the incident that killed this place.224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡASYg9B0Imo
I was told that we are not to expect any encountered resistance hence we bring only224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgDL3EiVGA6
our basic weaponry, I was also warned that this mission is not one of search and rescue224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXj6xBwrlyT
no matter how dire the situation presented to us.224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡngNEqtndet
We are not to go out of our way to rescue someone if such a scenario, however224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcxQkQApkJ9
unlikely, is presented to us. We are to move in fully prepared and expecting the worst224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8jx2gaAHtb
possible situation as we always do, for they never call us in otherwise. All we know as of224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxIQQF1OGnw
now is that all forms of communication between the palace and all those stationed up224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiKyMdCRBvB
there were lost after six years of assiduity, cut off deliberately but not by our majesty’s224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1qtI8Rh6zj
command.224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVbJH9uZsCA
Those people stationed there come up with something, a discovery of great224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjPjHPsNZdB
importance, unprecedented. Whether it was one of the many research teams that224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0iFSdxUnss
achieved it, or it was unburied by the digging team, this I do not know. I was not told224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCptn8qe8ua
about this.
