Chapter Five273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG8Elh5HQfZ
“Briefing”
Every one of us here has a privileged position, as we all know; we are fortunate273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡILMmue3ecX
to serve our nation and our ruler to unparalleled levels, we are chosen and273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN7Ajj52Rgg
with our actions, we display the very best our kingdom has to offer. We are273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1hy2AqKpZX
its strength and its cunning. We undertake what very few can even consider, and we273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhCUKkdzlnH
always succeed.273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡedoVn4EP7R
That is what we do, who we are.273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxGSJOoA1t6
We are both the first arrow and the rumoured dagger. We are fortunate for we are273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQSR4y8KeNX
thus allowed to see and know more than most ever will, but we are still far from seeing273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPVseQxlwOz
and knowing everything, of hearing all the secrets. We are not told of certain things273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKzDgN6ME2H
unless urgency for our services demands it and so sometimes, most the times, all the273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZiiVYiC1sK
privileged information is shared with us forcibly.Usually and unfortunately at the very273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCScGH9v7yY
last hour and always at the most basic level required for our success, and anything273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLWATwLJ8M8
else that I come to learn must be importuned, but such a thing has never hindered us.273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0OZGCPTNsw
Duty calls to us, our king bestows upon us the knowledge he deems necessary for us273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOEKw3YAxJp
to succeed, and we always do.273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXnrKCqU0GJ
Tonight will be no different. We will succeed regardless of how little we know.273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡraICxVjV6n
Always remember that is who we are. Now that’s out of the way...273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFcWGLI4mon
I will now say something I do not usually need to tell you...273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmm8yKZ71Tb
I want everyone here to be extremely careful tonight and to never, under any273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxk4SwtekeZ
circumstance, underestimate the situation around you or even worse to overestimate273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ4EfOgua6q
yourselves. I have always been reminded that all things should be taken in moderation,273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZUePnb1HMv
even experience, for too much of it can also harm. These are always important words273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvgAHGhuQ2O
I think, but it is not my intent to bother your ears with them...273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHPiaeACvhx
I will just leave you with this: I want every single one of you, tonight, to remember273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSVQPaJs4nk
at all times why we succeed...273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdG2WYX8RSp
I ask you all to promise me and yourselves this. Indulge me, please.273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzL9wGez5gH
Tonight, will be a vastly different mission from any we had previously been charged273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT6KiM1Wdn0
with, in both time and geography.273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡplrj1XpxER
We are headed to a place like no other and never before has so little time been given273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeP50pMLQUY
to us to accomplish a mission. Never had I heard such urgency in his majesty’s voice.273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLX2gGfqjof
I was instructed to warn you that this is the most important mission the Hand has273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYm3Mf1trOp
ever been charged with - these are words from King Hervies himself as he stared me273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU8hG5yfL37
in the eyes.273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR17QAwQ6NK
Be always mindful of this.273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXdSXBTCbgR
So, as I am sure you are aware by now, we are heading up there, towards the top of273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMR5HSobSeJ
that mountain, into the facility established since the incident that killed this place.273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAzbxw62Bbe
I was told that we are not to expect any encountered resistance hence we bring only273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5bb63SFGIP
our basic weaponry, I was also warned that this mission is not one of search and rescue273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyIlEJisWEp
no matter how dire the situation presented to us.273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd9CnVHdfnu
We are not to go out of our way to rescue someone if such a scenario, however273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe3mNFnMGFk
unlikely, is presented to us. We are to move in fully prepared and expecting the worst273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCe6nubItCg
possible situation as we always do, for they never call us in otherwise. All we know as of273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbi7IS1oi13
now is that all forms of communication between the palace and all those stationed up273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRZ62Ev6EJV
there were lost after six years of assiduity, cut off deliberately but not by our majesty’s273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD0DEL6cCQo
command.273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM0wWftLE3E
Those people stationed there come up with something, a discovery of great273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbJFUBMClFZ
importance, unprecedented. Whether it was one of the many research teams that273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKnEZ972DwM
achieved it, or it was unburied by the digging team, this I do not know. I was not told273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRLqOll6g0x
about this.
