Chapter Five396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYZyCjyArBP
“Briefing”
Every one of us here has a privileged position, as we all know; we are fortunate396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUUWnS3Y2dE
to serve our nation and our ruler to unparalleled levels, we are chosen and396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ZJv46P4hj
with our actions, we display the very best our kingdom has to offer. We are396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzYmpidbGLm
its strength and its cunning. We undertake what very few can even consider, and we396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡphfuwtVNrp
always succeed.396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjWkGRcwWsP
That is what we do, who we are.396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPtXVHCfTUp
We are both the first arrow and the rumoured dagger. We are fortunate for we are396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRG6YrkVjmp
thus allowed to see and know more than most ever will, but we are still far from seeing396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX4bYajkIWR
and knowing everything, of hearing all the secrets. We are not told of certain things396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPltuTlhbDT
unless urgency for our services demands it and so sometimes, most the times, all the396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqHVBUwbLMf
privileged information is shared with us forcibly.Usually and unfortunately at the very396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡquEEGDsJaC
last hour and always at the most basic level required for our success, and anything396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ97Iob6dJdQ
else that I come to learn must be importuned, but such a thing has never hindered us.396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡacDKo9Ucbb
Duty calls to us, our king bestows upon us the knowledge he deems necessary for us396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI4ZjUtQex8
to succeed, and we always do.396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7JlR7M8WdD
Tonight will be no different. We will succeed regardless of how little we know.396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhvnE1q0aHr
Always remember that is who we are. Now that’s out of the way...396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlneYFgAN4m
I will now say something I do not usually need to tell you...396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGc2SK1hI2l
I want everyone here to be extremely careful tonight and to never, under any396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1RMOzzCKgI
circumstance, underestimate the situation around you or even worse to overestimate396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0258BluQ4M
yourselves. I have always been reminded that all things should be taken in moderation,396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKCa6qTPM5s
even experience, for too much of it can also harm. These are always important words396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgmZyG9yJOY
I think, but it is not my intent to bother your ears with them...396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4oIpLU1scL
I will just leave you with this: I want every single one of you, tonight, to remember396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmlfqZcI3RT
at all times why we succeed...396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTQ6n36RVJS
I ask you all to promise me and yourselves this. Indulge me, please.396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCsGHM6Z06F
Tonight, will be a vastly different mission from any we had previously been charged396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp4J6AJqZ8T
with, in both time and geography.396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡutUIchq5uA
We are headed to a place like no other and never before has so little time been given396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz6zRXRzsFZ
to us to accomplish a mission. Never had I heard such urgency in his majesty’s voice.396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLpV3QLKdhB
I was instructed to warn you that this is the most important mission the Hand has396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR4jIYsVdl4
ever been charged with - these are words from King Hervies himself as he stared me396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3gjRvmtsHP
in the eyes.396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ20ZjtKqB6c
Be always mindful of this.396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE59Jw0mEuG
So, as I am sure you are aware by now, we are heading up there, towards the top of396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsCk648BZDg
that mountain, into the facility established since the incident that killed this place.396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjWS7KfJbRt
I was told that we are not to expect any encountered resistance hence we bring only396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAaffvBEdqS
our basic weaponry, I was also warned that this mission is not one of search and rescue396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiY0h7Sw25L
no matter how dire the situation presented to us.396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡShXxEHNCsV
We are not to go out of our way to rescue someone if such a scenario, however396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyjK8WCtlz9
unlikely, is presented to us. We are to move in fully prepared and expecting the worst396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIGYxGGPd9Q
possible situation as we always do, for they never call us in otherwise. All we know as of396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡodpFc0KGHg
now is that all forms of communication between the palace and all those stationed up396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ3ypVo8XR0
there were lost after six years of assiduity, cut off deliberately but not by our majesty’s396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4zPFKvxMA5
command.396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT7K99v7Qxd
Those people stationed there come up with something, a discovery of great396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq8RlAqjwSp
importance, unprecedented. Whether it was one of the many research teams that396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiMI9DDdUn6
achieved it, or it was unburied by the digging team, this I do not know. I was not told396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxBIi88PKyE
about this.
