“Briefing”
Every one of us here has a privileged position, as we all know; we are fortunate343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbEsBmsHGVD
to serve our nation and our ruler to unparalleled levels, we are chosen and343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkTyuYpKFOZ
with our actions, we display the very best our kingdom has to offer. We are343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3KCw55i06U
its strength and its cunning. We undertake what very few can even consider, and we343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHqYAGhoobi
always succeed.343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQoij9QY2e5
That is what we do, who we are.343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4BEkIAkscA
We are both the first arrow and the rumoured dagger. We are fortunate for we are343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5mJ2OP4gHm
thus allowed to see and know more than most ever will, but we are still far from seeing343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡawR7kIQ5bg
and knowing everything, of hearing all the secrets. We are not told of certain things343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡutJwxjjTE7
unless urgency for our services demands it and so sometimes, most the times, all the343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBD5ULD5DIj
privileged information is shared with us forcibly.Usually and unfortunately at the very343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs2BSXomqdc
last hour and always at the most basic level required for our success, and anything343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtOJxWvNU5y
else that I come to learn must be importuned, but such a thing has never hindered us.343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Musg1GUcC
Duty calls to us, our king bestows upon us the knowledge he deems necessary for us343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzWyTHione4
to succeed, and we always do.343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsx8conmEFh
Tonight will be no different. We will succeed regardless of how little we know.343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlKHCrnFYdq
Always remember that is who we are. Now that’s out of the way...343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ77KDOqvKYr
I will now say something I do not usually need to tell you...343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFXlc2tjAZ1
I want everyone here to be extremely careful tonight and to never, under any343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZLovFUVCv9
circumstance, underestimate the situation around you or even worse to overestimate343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFKWanZJx8n
yourselves. I have always been reminded that all things should be taken in moderation,343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8QDoMmZ5zC
even experience, for too much of it can also harm. These are always important words343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7lOpyf01WN
I think, but it is not my intent to bother your ears with them...343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC45v8rD0fJ
I will just leave you with this: I want every single one of you, tonight, to remember343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE6MujxTg1Y
at all times why we succeed...343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI6FBwOHrHz
I ask you all to promise me and yourselves this. Indulge me, please.343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQPdlBf3pwi
Tonight, will be a vastly different mission from any we had previously been charged343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOrWmxjSTGm
with, in both time and geography.343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqxUAOqEOiK
We are headed to a place like no other and never before has so little time been given343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpSvqXFlGFD
to us to accomplish a mission. Never had I heard such urgency in his majesty’s voice.343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi7RH2DjVq3
I was instructed to warn you that this is the most important mission the Hand has343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN6AWjlOICC
ever been charged with - these are words from King Hervies himself as he stared me343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgw6XnPYyXU
in the eyes.343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEynZGKvM6D
Be always mindful of this.343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6YFj08kLNc
So, as I am sure you are aware by now, we are heading up there, towards the top of343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRETqDilQrm
that mountain, into the facility established since the incident that killed this place.343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHR46oa6aRj
I was told that we are not to expect any encountered resistance hence we bring only343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwAosHXy4nC
our basic weaponry, I was also warned that this mission is not one of search and rescue343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6uBvknhTRX
no matter how dire the situation presented to us.343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡamGcaFPLfi
We are not to go out of our way to rescue someone if such a scenario, however343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3B96Jx980L
unlikely, is presented to us. We are to move in fully prepared and expecting the worst343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxwQqXyAYG7
possible situation as we always do, for they never call us in otherwise. All we know as of343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtk8RMhJs0F
now is that all forms of communication between the palace and all those stationed up343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4amboinkUV
there were lost after six years of assiduity, cut off deliberately but not by our majesty’s343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRR0zhWHr5q
command.343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ33XQyCXa5
Those people stationed there come up with something, a discovery of great343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLIP3SF9beC
importance, unprecedented. Whether it was one of the many research teams that343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6sYjWMhJtg
achieved it, or it was unburied by the digging team, this I do not know. I was not told343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPiMpixnFxT
about this.
