“Briefing”
Every one of us here has a privileged position, as we all know; we are fortunate434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYofezf8ZC9
to serve our nation and our ruler to unparalleled levels, we are chosen and434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcMH7LdcEPU
with our actions, we display the very best our kingdom has to offer. We are434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIqN21tQNbH
its strength and its cunning. We undertake what very few can even consider, and we434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWREFFxja6P
always succeed.434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrXY2rgjW9S
That is what we do, who we are.434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBEoA4QniNA
We are both the first arrow and the rumoured dagger. We are fortunate for we are434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwRmxgbL23V
thus allowed to see and know more than most ever will, but we are still far from seeing434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzNoO0qsZCh
and knowing everything, of hearing all the secrets. We are not told of certain things434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8SGKeNTx8O
unless urgency for our services demands it and so sometimes, most the times, all the434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjm9bWdyXv3
privileged information is shared with us forcibly.Usually and unfortunately at the very434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjydsMHMuzj
last hour and always at the most basic level required for our success, and anything434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhUyBjbJqwY
else that I come to learn must be importuned, but such a thing has never hindered us.434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ue1nJr8aY
Duty calls to us, our king bestows upon us the knowledge he deems necessary for us434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9WGhf3SmC5
to succeed, and we always do.434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBBQuE3eiDf
Tonight will be no different. We will succeed regardless of how little we know.434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQDI6qh6dKm
Always remember that is who we are. Now that’s out of the way...434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY6cUixgjNL
I will now say something I do not usually need to tell you...434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu4d8YXO5WD
I want everyone here to be extremely careful tonight and to never, under any434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv5oFMlPyxA
circumstance, underestimate the situation around you or even worse to overestimate434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqKAtaEIYmN
yourselves. I have always been reminded that all things should be taken in moderation,434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGsjI8lRLLE
even experience, for too much of it can also harm. These are always important words434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvyPxzQBDgk
I think, but it is not my intent to bother your ears with them...434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFvqdkXK1GN
I will just leave you with this: I want every single one of you, tonight, to remember434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeS0jrxuGcA
at all times why we succeed...434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnIC4eitlWe
I ask you all to promise me and yourselves this. Indulge me, please.434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjf3eqZ9SaE
Tonight, will be a vastly different mission from any we had previously been charged434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr75XMwgiuD
with, in both time and geography.434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu5ofbwVHs8
We are headed to a place like no other and never before has so little time been given434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx1XovyJav1
to us to accomplish a mission. Never had I heard such urgency in his majesty’s voice.434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbS7yHst0b7
I was instructed to warn you that this is the most important mission the Hand has434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEv4Evbcak5
ever been charged with - these are words from King Hervies himself as he stared me434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS5QZAMfUPG
in the eyes.434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHI4crPG2Vv
Be always mindful of this.434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeiqNDUwBXu
So, as I am sure you are aware by now, we are heading up there, towards the top of434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO6HO1AZWDS
that mountain, into the facility established since the incident that killed this place.434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9GUPVX4FBl
I was told that we are not to expect any encountered resistance hence we bring only434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjRhosCfRdq
our basic weaponry, I was also warned that this mission is not one of search and rescue434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBVI8AsEhGo
no matter how dire the situation presented to us.434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzpZHSVSngF
We are not to go out of our way to rescue someone if such a scenario, however434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡppsk61sWCt
unlikely, is presented to us. We are to move in fully prepared and expecting the worst434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlwJ40cuP8C
possible situation as we always do, for they never call us in otherwise. All we know as of434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBII5ZFI7D0
now is that all forms of communication between the palace and all those stationed up434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf46A76ZNKl
there were lost after six years of assiduity, cut off deliberately but not by our majesty’s434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmAoRhTe3q4
command.434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZaLrGojG4I
Those people stationed there come up with something, a discovery of great434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3RwOK9Udos
importance, unprecedented. Whether it was one of the many research teams that434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyD279Lc8Gj
achieved it, or it was unburied by the digging team, this I do not know. I was not told434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhMmAB5TdcY
about this.
