“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.
