Chapter Five190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTm8H6gRN1j
“Briefing”
Every one of us here has a privileged position, as we all know; we are fortunate190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTF12RATBD9
to serve our nation and our ruler to unparalleled levels, we are chosen and190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG1DxSbdfPd
with our actions, we display the very best our kingdom has to offer. We are190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYbMU4QBOMn
its strength and its cunning. We undertake what very few can even consider, and we190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡynO1uBmsUX
always succeed.190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAVpqB9G1vh
That is what we do, who we are.190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZnK4hUVqWV
We are both the first arrow and the rumoured dagger. We are fortunate for we are190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6FLba9kOJ1
thus allowed to see and know more than most ever will, but we are still far from seeing190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQP7wAI2GQj
and knowing everything, of hearing all the secrets. We are not told of certain things190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhYQMQx27zP
unless urgency for our services demands it and so sometimes, most the times, all the190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpE6SiP1W1Y
privileged information is shared with us forcibly.Usually and unfortunately at the very190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnSlrVsI5Zd
last hour and always at the most basic level required for our success, and anything190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTbOkKhNSob
else that I come to learn must be importuned, but such a thing has never hindered us.190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIBaECXfhHm
Duty calls to us, our king bestows upon us the knowledge he deems necessary for us190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKZpwkwYgL0
to succeed, and we always do.190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvCzWuOrb1X
Tonight will be no different. We will succeed regardless of how little we know.190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg5W6WRUvIX
Always remember that is who we are. Now that’s out of the way...190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv9wQWPFF3a
I will now say something I do not usually need to tell you...190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡphV473lYft
I want everyone here to be extremely careful tonight and to never, under any190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpyvThF9Rsr
circumstance, underestimate the situation around you or even worse to overestimate190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1NWOx9aLvK
yourselves. I have always been reminded that all things should be taken in moderation,190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB4h21cdyiy
even experience, for too much of it can also harm. These are always important words190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtdv15c3Xb1
I think, but it is not my intent to bother your ears with them...190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXxNRayjSUe
I will just leave you with this: I want every single one of you, tonight, to remember190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRIQajKVhVf
at all times why we succeed...190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvcEDSVEstL
I ask you all to promise me and yourselves this. Indulge me, please.190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyzerIUpbh3
Tonight, will be a vastly different mission from any we had previously been charged190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2U0ggqJnmO
with, in both time and geography.190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXjknACwA9s
We are headed to a place like no other and never before has so little time been given190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB7WMJzFC9F
to us to accomplish a mission. Never had I heard such urgency in his majesty’s voice.190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaTljssXoQj
I was instructed to warn you that this is the most important mission the Hand has190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmQ11CYHoNo
ever been charged with - these are words from King Hervies himself as he stared me190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj8cDVYRBmV
in the eyes.190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd0FVRALylJ
Be always mindful of this.190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyWk9qOCwXz
So, as I am sure you are aware by now, we are heading up there, towards the top of190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxOLtKcngo0
that mountain, into the facility established since the incident that killed this place.190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgjaXEsiMQY
I was told that we are not to expect any encountered resistance hence we bring only190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqEPKoRt3cP
our basic weaponry, I was also warned that this mission is not one of search and rescue190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5tgio9jtLW
no matter how dire the situation presented to us.190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY8zGpOwsHn
We are not to go out of our way to rescue someone if such a scenario, however190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgglCe7TPb4
unlikely, is presented to us. We are to move in fully prepared and expecting the worst190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt7qXvGGoIN
possible situation as we always do, for they never call us in otherwise. All we know as of190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2gr3bcDaV8
now is that all forms of communication between the palace and all those stationed up190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ddYRkRwfF
there were lost after six years of assiduity, cut off deliberately but not by our majesty’s190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQYKjwvaUoo
command.190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt2C7TezbIv
Those people stationed there come up with something, a discovery of great190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe6H9v8CUlm
importance, unprecedented. Whether it was one of the many research teams that190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvgOHaRKNyE
achieved it, or it was unburied by the digging team, this I do not know. I was not told190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCVFMelcQMZ
about this.
