“Briefing”
Every one of us here has a privileged position, as we all know; we are fortunate437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGdLumTcHfl
to serve our nation and our ruler to unparalleled levels, we are chosen and437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuVAQDn2AVG
with our actions, we display the very best our kingdom has to offer. We are437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQcCvyfcnQs
its strength and its cunning. We undertake what very few can even consider, and we437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBJfT1M9jyw
always succeed.437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGG6P8ssfUY
That is what we do, who we are.437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUmUlkCjcat
We are both the first arrow and the rumoured dagger. We are fortunate for we are437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnnEImUwSlr
thus allowed to see and know more than most ever will, but we are still far from seeing437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8LedGFWUh8
and knowing everything, of hearing all the secrets. We are not told of certain things437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf0ZgZN2HXm
unless urgency for our services demands it and so sometimes, most the times, all the437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNeLAhkrbKv
privileged information is shared with us forcibly.Usually and unfortunately at the very437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrqw6GnBAtj
last hour and always at the most basic level required for our success, and anything437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTo8oSM72Qi
else that I come to learn must be importuned, but such a thing has never hindered us.437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRObamHsMJE
Duty calls to us, our king bestows upon us the knowledge he deems necessary for us437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO1Hj56bRwT
to succeed, and we always do.437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKA1WiJ5MpK
Tonight will be no different. We will succeed regardless of how little we know.437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1B3YBtXtbh
Always remember that is who we are. Now that’s out of the way...437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTOsTdsMWiX
I will now say something I do not usually need to tell you...437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqZViUHw4jC
I want everyone here to be extremely careful tonight and to never, under any437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWeW88wv2gb
circumstance, underestimate the situation around you or even worse to overestimate437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw1tOv3UeJB
yourselves. I have always been reminded that all things should be taken in moderation,437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQc36h3fLoM
even experience, for too much of it can also harm. These are always important words437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6EcfRvOdj4
I think, but it is not my intent to bother your ears with them...437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnz8ya5dwUw
I will just leave you with this: I want every single one of you, tonight, to remember437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ420tMpyiDb
at all times why we succeed...437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqekFaM0AHt
I ask you all to promise me and yourselves this. Indulge me, please.437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcZaKTGIuAV
Tonight, will be a vastly different mission from any we had previously been charged437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlRgSbosEuU
with, in both time and geography.437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ42e8rNeH8Q
We are headed to a place like no other and never before has so little time been given437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrqsfBjPzv0
to us to accomplish a mission. Never had I heard such urgency in his majesty’s voice.437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgQsRn9JSP1
I was instructed to warn you that this is the most important mission the Hand has437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7IyMSysN9f
ever been charged with - these are words from King Hervies himself as he stared me437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5FRkRYnWa1
in the eyes.437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8TesIMhxCn
Be always mindful of this.437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUUmvPfAWtg
So, as I am sure you are aware by now, we are heading up there, towards the top of437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHJIVpAl2Al
that mountain, into the facility established since the incident that killed this place.437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRXDqjOYJ7A
I was told that we are not to expect any encountered resistance hence we bring only437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr1CPBlfgt5
our basic weaponry, I was also warned that this mission is not one of search and rescue437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKhnguFz8jm
no matter how dire the situation presented to us.437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdWgzhfjw3Z
We are not to go out of our way to rescue someone if such a scenario, however437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡciyWH4aosO
unlikely, is presented to us. We are to move in fully prepared and expecting the worst437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJkhyTYnAiC
possible situation as we always do, for they never call us in otherwise. All we know as of437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGNDNIsTYmx
now is that all forms of communication between the palace and all those stationed up437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF1ZoUI75lF
there were lost after six years of assiduity, cut off deliberately but not by our majesty’s437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4YOnf8olOr
command.437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZAd3wcodyX
Those people stationed there come up with something, a discovery of great437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg7evohlQMx
importance, unprecedented. Whether it was one of the many research teams that437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy2mEADkmgA
achieved it, or it was unburied by the digging team, this I do not know. I was not told437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKGpSF4u3KY
about this.
