“Briefing”
Every one of us here has a privileged position, as we all know; we are fortunate409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMw7bVB6Brw
to serve our nation and our ruler to unparalleled levels, we are chosen and409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS0cmjrgqGy
with our actions, we display the very best our kingdom has to offer. We are409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb0NC6nvRWH
its strength and its cunning. We undertake what very few can even consider, and we409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUYmaX3gomu
always succeed.409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMkEKQiWYBv
That is what we do, who we are.409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc9OkHbTCV6
We are both the first arrow and the rumoured dagger. We are fortunate for we are409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi5IFevpkyb
thus allowed to see and know more than most ever will, but we are still far from seeing409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhLOZZ6uqAa
and knowing everything, of hearing all the secrets. We are not told of certain things409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx4mfajrnZ1
unless urgency for our services demands it and so sometimes, most the times, all the409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0fUsIKtyNM
privileged information is shared with us forcibly.Usually and unfortunately at the very409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ473I6Sf50Q
last hour and always at the most basic level required for our success, and anything409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqy57xu2F7z
else that I come to learn must be importuned, but such a thing has never hindered us.409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2TQX2EjnEa
Duty calls to us, our king bestows upon us the knowledge he deems necessary for us409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjoFbkSFk97
to succeed, and we always do.409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡscXWh91jWG
Tonight will be no different. We will succeed regardless of how little we know.409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjv0obidmdc
Always remember that is who we are. Now that’s out of the way...409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqYCvM2mIDB
I will now say something I do not usually need to tell you...409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj7xzwuE0Uy
I want everyone here to be extremely careful tonight and to never, under any409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN6XFtgYapY
circumstance, underestimate the situation around you or even worse to overestimate409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhKi3oBS56p
yourselves. I have always been reminded that all things should be taken in moderation,409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDIuhHdXwgD
even experience, for too much of it can also harm. These are always important words409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡowNW1Ru2OX
I think, but it is not my intent to bother your ears with them...409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUQYbLfbtTC
I will just leave you with this: I want every single one of you, tonight, to remember409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAgg6tnnfc5
at all times why we succeed...409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIGdT8m38ON
I ask you all to promise me and yourselves this. Indulge me, please.409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa4FdRVLGeu
Tonight, will be a vastly different mission from any we had previously been charged409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz45OTYXgQZ
with, in both time and geography.409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4L20nE6Xfn
We are headed to a place like no other and never before has so little time been given409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4MHKerzcDe
to us to accomplish a mission. Never had I heard such urgency in his majesty’s voice.409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjLZGeYV8ml
I was instructed to warn you that this is the most important mission the Hand has409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡti4nmGmdN7
ever been charged with - these are words from King Hervies himself as he stared me409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIvbhRe3zyU
in the eyes.409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdGHDgJISUG
Be always mindful of this.409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNICbXj7zVe
So, as I am sure you are aware by now, we are heading up there, towards the top of409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ReH1xX5WG
that mountain, into the facility established since the incident that killed this place.409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeL52fTH6bI
I was told that we are not to expect any encountered resistance hence we bring only409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVcQ3zvtTZb
our basic weaponry, I was also warned that this mission is not one of search and rescue409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUkEVMjfwyw
no matter how dire the situation presented to us.409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyv0frbVwSJ
We are not to go out of our way to rescue someone if such a scenario, however409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7AbDZYU7d4
unlikely, is presented to us. We are to move in fully prepared and expecting the worst409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhFgfaqBwVe
possible situation as we always do, for they never call us in otherwise. All we know as of409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6wI06jVTER
now is that all forms of communication between the palace and all those stationed up409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQUnL0KmJmx
there were lost after six years of assiduity, cut off deliberately but not by our majesty’s409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz74YzzqrWG
command.409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNdfX06Yzva
Those people stationed there come up with something, a discovery of great409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUwJ9gLGQ0Z
importance, unprecedented. Whether it was one of the many research teams that409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvjgLT29sw5
achieved it, or it was unburied by the digging team, this I do not know. I was not told409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFdCCz3IJgQ
about this.
