Chapter Five290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡquR3qqlfDI
“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.
