“Briefing”
Every one of us here has a privileged position, as we all know; we are fortunate368Please respect copyright.PENANA8FvfgrSgpp
to serve our nation and our ruler to unparalleled levels, we are chosen and368Please respect copyright.PENANAashlhbM0nd
with our actions, we display the very best our kingdom has to offer. We are368Please respect copyright.PENANAvyOCcspGX4
its strength and its cunning. We undertake what very few can even consider, and we368Please respect copyright.PENANAO4SSyniLlW
always succeed.368Please respect copyright.PENANAn5AVKX6IVj
That is what we do, who we are.368Please respect copyright.PENANAS1tziqxcr8
We are both the first arrow and the rumoured dagger. We are fortunate for we are368Please respect copyright.PENANAnuwnTZFt9j
thus allowed to see and know more than most ever will, but we are still far from seeing368Please respect copyright.PENANAFKUJL9Y5BD
and knowing everything, of hearing all the secrets. We are not told of certain things368Please respect copyright.PENANAxEiWw784fe
unless urgency for our services demands it and so sometimes, most the times, all the368Please respect copyright.PENANAALppiDia6E
privileged information is shared with us forcibly.Usually and unfortunately at the very368Please respect copyright.PENANAAi41yCzjU4
last hour and always at the most basic level required for our success, and anything368Please respect copyright.PENANAej6MX1Lc8m
else that I come to learn must be importuned, but such a thing has never hindered us.368Please respect copyright.PENANAgBJeTWqu8f
Duty calls to us, our king bestows upon us the knowledge he deems necessary for us368Please respect copyright.PENANA7pEFFTPZ5g
to succeed, and we always do.368Please respect copyright.PENANABDlajC5XHA
Tonight will be no different. We will succeed regardless of how little we know.368Please respect copyright.PENANA7XbjoHMewy
Always remember that is who we are. Now that’s out of the way...368Please respect copyright.PENANAUoAXKTroPT
I will now say something I do not usually need to tell you...368Please respect copyright.PENANAL5KSUjmz2e
I want everyone here to be extremely careful tonight and to never, under any368Please respect copyright.PENANAFt5g0srWPQ
circumstance, underestimate the situation around you or even worse to overestimate368Please respect copyright.PENANAPFtQQq1iyw
yourselves. I have always been reminded that all things should be taken in moderation,368Please respect copyright.PENANATVenztDpMy
even experience, for too much of it can also harm. These are always important words368Please respect copyright.PENANAxnVT6IjjoT
I think, but it is not my intent to bother your ears with them...368Please respect copyright.PENANAikf8wFkfHm
I will just leave you with this: I want every single one of you, tonight, to remember368Please respect copyright.PENANAVVTp6GPxZ9
at all times why we succeed...368Please respect copyright.PENANAbHKUYy9sRD
I ask you all to promise me and yourselves this. Indulge me, please.368Please respect copyright.PENANAzOikehWBOI
Tonight, will be a vastly different mission from any we had previously been charged368Please respect copyright.PENANAyWbZIPgIm7
with, in both time and geography.368Please respect copyright.PENANAkbOrNBOeet
We are headed to a place like no other and never before has so little time been given368Please respect copyright.PENANAt94es71Cie
to us to accomplish a mission. Never had I heard such urgency in his majesty’s voice.368Please respect copyright.PENANA72UEKgMfSc
I was instructed to warn you that this is the most important mission the Hand has368Please respect copyright.PENANASpdBvBVdzj
ever been charged with - these are words from King Hervies himself as he stared me368Please respect copyright.PENANAkZsJ4Qr6JV
in the eyes.368Please respect copyright.PENANAHNB22NZUIf
Be always mindful of this.368Please respect copyright.PENANAecqcFWGuQM
So, as I am sure you are aware by now, we are heading up there, towards the top of368Please respect copyright.PENANAcZ5XWtW9TL
that mountain, into the facility established since the incident that killed this place.368Please respect copyright.PENANAGcEi5tl9zm
I was told that we are not to expect any encountered resistance hence we bring only368Please respect copyright.PENANAkYkaK4mbIJ
our basic weaponry, I was also warned that this mission is not one of search and rescue368Please respect copyright.PENANApR3nJV1hn5
no matter how dire the situation presented to us.368Please respect copyright.PENANAjkflp6PlIo
We are not to go out of our way to rescue someone if such a scenario, however368Please respect copyright.PENANA3PT3pgrpXX
unlikely, is presented to us. We are to move in fully prepared and expecting the worst368Please respect copyright.PENANAAWCnV7DhGG
possible situation as we always do, for they never call us in otherwise. All we know as of368Please respect copyright.PENANAErgmA3YkHC
now is that all forms of communication between the palace and all those stationed up368Please respect copyright.PENANAFHV3a3DlKh
there were lost after six years of assiduity, cut off deliberately but not by our majesty’s368Please respect copyright.PENANAl4GaCikgCE
command.368Please respect copyright.PENANANvccfwolBu
Those people stationed there come up with something, a discovery of great368Please respect copyright.PENANALzD9wWQsRw
importance, unprecedented. Whether it was one of the many research teams that368Please respect copyright.PENANAXA8mHiTotJ
achieved it, or it was unburied by the digging team, this I do not know. I was not told368Please respect copyright.PENANArSCc7DnFkv
about this.
