“Briefing”
Every one of us here has a privileged position, as we all know; we are fortunate364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGBSnDCY3DK
to serve our nation and our ruler to unparalleled levels, we are chosen and364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjwnoLjhYQD
with our actions, we display the very best our kingdom has to offer. We are364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFcRlER7eim
its strength and its cunning. We undertake what very few can even consider, and we364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxtHkVzR2iL
always succeed.364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkr5aF2ZvDU
That is what we do, who we are.364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI1Ln4IH4f4
We are both the first arrow and the rumoured dagger. We are fortunate for we are364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMsUkVOgIfU
thus allowed to see and know more than most ever will, but we are still far from seeing364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNRZYoumUQ0
and knowing everything, of hearing all the secrets. We are not told of certain things364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPUvzaYrAao
unless urgency for our services demands it and so sometimes, most the times, all the364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3JGIRvJ7tD
privileged information is shared with us forcibly.Usually and unfortunately at the very364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmqSddSg54S
last hour and always at the most basic level required for our success, and anything364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwAW2twaF4q
else that I come to learn must be importuned, but such a thing has never hindered us.364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB9TgsNTAfc
Duty calls to us, our king bestows upon us the knowledge he deems necessary for us364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiebzRxhjSo
to succeed, and we always do.364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJY261Ys9yu
Tonight will be no different. We will succeed regardless of how little we know.364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS2jZIpwS1f
Always remember that is who we are. Now that’s out of the way...364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsN8jGPkqmX
I will now say something I do not usually need to tell you...364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRneAO5nDPw
I want everyone here to be extremely careful tonight and to never, under any364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjYu0JuiNkr
circumstance, underestimate the situation around you or even worse to overestimate364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpIcbn6YJKK
yourselves. I have always been reminded that all things should be taken in moderation,364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsZXsyKIBt0
even experience, for too much of it can also harm. These are always important words364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtwuNXaRnPx
I think, but it is not my intent to bother your ears with them...364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQozQPXpiQj
I will just leave you with this: I want every single one of you, tonight, to remember364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSu1N2vJYCO
at all times why we succeed...364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjGkDH9YJn0
I ask you all to promise me and yourselves this. Indulge me, please.364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF8yDWaORip
Tonight, will be a vastly different mission from any we had previously been charged364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyySxtfzF4N
with, in both time and geography.364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnKyrukti3B
We are headed to a place like no other and never before has so little time been given364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMtMVqe0a6i
to us to accomplish a mission. Never had I heard such urgency in his majesty’s voice.364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC2tu2xIfe6
I was instructed to warn you that this is the most important mission the Hand has364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl0Kv02PphS
ever been charged with - these are words from King Hervies himself as he stared me364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFpRZm14OXB
in the eyes.364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC2bIepHlDt
Be always mindful of this.364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFkOSBZA2z1
So, as I am sure you are aware by now, we are heading up there, towards the top of364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4w0hbZwaXs
that mountain, into the facility established since the incident that killed this place.364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡue76FDU2Q3
I was told that we are not to expect any encountered resistance hence we bring only364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRM01rxAobS
our basic weaponry, I was also warned that this mission is not one of search and rescue364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwlu5gC1Wgr
no matter how dire the situation presented to us.364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf80pEQ7Yqx
We are not to go out of our way to rescue someone if such a scenario, however364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnYaEiAhkvX
unlikely, is presented to us. We are to move in fully prepared and expecting the worst364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMOygqXe66i
possible situation as we always do, for they never call us in otherwise. All we know as of364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjcu9r65yYl
now is that all forms of communication between the palace and all those stationed up364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHSGWV4pYS0
there were lost after six years of assiduity, cut off deliberately but not by our majesty’s364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLetbjWNw3k
command.364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxnj2NxDAJv
Those people stationed there come up with something, a discovery of great364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3xJ4pid4lV
importance, unprecedented. Whether it was one of the many research teams that364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHxDLbBkLGq
achieved it, or it was unburied by the digging team, this I do not know. I was not told364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTdn81JzPjr
about this.
