“Briefing”
Every one of us here has a privileged position, as we all know; we are fortunate290Please respect copyright.PENANAfwng7vuykD
to serve our nation and our ruler to unparalleled levels, we are chosen and290Please respect copyright.PENANAERpvKabfp0
with our actions, we display the very best our kingdom has to offer. We are290Please respect copyright.PENANAcGIs1HDGB3
its strength and its cunning. We undertake what very few can even consider, and we290Please respect copyright.PENANA99vDYKLte0
always succeed.290Please respect copyright.PENANAwvmTriI4yZ
That is what we do, who we are.290Please respect copyright.PENANAbpCaxB4ZE2
We are both the first arrow and the rumoured dagger. We are fortunate for we are290Please respect copyright.PENANA2bXw499o6R
thus allowed to see and know more than most ever will, but we are still far from seeing290Please respect copyright.PENANAJglc0kLG1c
and knowing everything, of hearing all the secrets. We are not told of certain things290Please respect copyright.PENANApaIyq5DeZL
unless urgency for our services demands it and so sometimes, most the times, all the290Please respect copyright.PENANAGb1a5jI3Qi
privileged information is shared with us forcibly.Usually and unfortunately at the very290Please respect copyright.PENANADWIQYi7SOL
last hour and always at the most basic level required for our success, and anything290Please respect copyright.PENANA8oL5FMEEsU
else that I come to learn must be importuned, but such a thing has never hindered us.290Please respect copyright.PENANAonNPFX3khH
Duty calls to us, our king bestows upon us the knowledge he deems necessary for us290Please respect copyright.PENANAC1yUFLfCcS
to succeed, and we always do.290Please respect copyright.PENANAQ25nvrHLzz
Tonight will be no different. We will succeed regardless of how little we know.290Please respect copyright.PENANAIsKoPBuraQ
Always remember that is who we are. Now that’s out of the way...290Please respect copyright.PENANAM60U5Nvi5B
I will now say something I do not usually need to tell you...290Please respect copyright.PENANAKSW8gNCus1
I want everyone here to be extremely careful tonight and to never, under any290Please respect copyright.PENANANxcBRMfIsQ
circumstance, underestimate the situation around you or even worse to overestimate290Please respect copyright.PENANAMiMD4qTnFW
yourselves. I have always been reminded that all things should be taken in moderation,290Please respect copyright.PENANAgrk8mxpiv6
even experience, for too much of it can also harm. These are always important words290Please respect copyright.PENANAMEZ34MVeQn
I think, but it is not my intent to bother your ears with them...290Please respect copyright.PENANAb9oUFRp2kQ
I will just leave you with this: I want every single one of you, tonight, to remember290Please respect copyright.PENANAOBQN63LVAi
at all times why we succeed...290Please respect copyright.PENANAaZrUShLBuS
I ask you all to promise me and yourselves this. Indulge me, please.290Please respect copyright.PENANA0CPx9WqGE7
Tonight, will be a vastly different mission from any we had previously been charged290Please respect copyright.PENANAcSLKtctFZC
with, in both time and geography.290Please respect copyright.PENANAtbMDmfEqCT
We are headed to a place like no other and never before has so little time been given290Please respect copyright.PENANAhv5OXzEZpb
to us to accomplish a mission. Never had I heard such urgency in his majesty’s voice.290Please respect copyright.PENANA39KUKkYgBy
I was instructed to warn you that this is the most important mission the Hand has290Please respect copyright.PENANAtN6DUkpag6
ever been charged with - these are words from King Hervies himself as he stared me290Please respect copyright.PENANAjVrXj6rTtq
in the eyes.290Please respect copyright.PENANAyzAHebFVlx
Be always mindful of this.290Please respect copyright.PENANA0vGXrTLFMR
So, as I am sure you are aware by now, we are heading up there, towards the top of290Please respect copyright.PENANAZljEiwIWpp
that mountain, into the facility established since the incident that killed this place.290Please respect copyright.PENANAR4z3iDBTtH
I was told that we are not to expect any encountered resistance hence we bring only290Please respect copyright.PENANADEcJlb1TVV
our basic weaponry, I was also warned that this mission is not one of search and rescue290Please respect copyright.PENANAOmKbOgqFNE
no matter how dire the situation presented to us.290Please respect copyright.PENANAjUOpbaBm2U
We are not to go out of our way to rescue someone if such a scenario, however290Please respect copyright.PENANALBcO5AFH5H
unlikely, is presented to us. We are to move in fully prepared and expecting the worst290Please respect copyright.PENANAGJLZbl2uxS
possible situation as we always do, for they never call us in otherwise. All we know as of290Please respect copyright.PENANAe7luNRxOmv
now is that all forms of communication between the palace and all those stationed up290Please respect copyright.PENANAkALrYDrjyJ
there were lost after six years of assiduity, cut off deliberately but not by our majesty’s290Please respect copyright.PENANASa70JumUHC
command.290Please respect copyright.PENANAXgqFEhMa0H
Those people stationed there come up with something, a discovery of great290Please respect copyright.PENANADosiePdKZs
importance, unprecedented. Whether it was one of the many research teams that290Please respect copyright.PENANAp0qmvPQUTR
achieved it, or it was unburied by the digging team, this I do not know. I was not told290Please respect copyright.PENANAqpkRmV5xCB
about this.
