“Briefing”
Every one of us here has a privileged position, as we all know; we are fortunate342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpJbfEaPUpO
to serve our nation and our ruler to unparalleled levels, we are chosen and342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa5rUEoebAV
with our actions, we display the very best our kingdom has to offer. We are342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIuTrJU6pAM
its strength and its cunning. We undertake what very few can even consider, and we342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ijAdgHJ8s
always succeed.342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQgLnV0p7ZJ
That is what we do, who we are.342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡChT83yInFF
We are both the first arrow and the rumoured dagger. We are fortunate for we are342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDz8ux6irxu
thus allowed to see and know more than most ever will, but we are still far from seeing342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8qJdaB0ge0
and knowing everything, of hearing all the secrets. We are not told of certain things342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡblIErGpRr8
unless urgency for our services demands it and so sometimes, most the times, all the342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbntciJSsnl
privileged information is shared with us forcibly.Usually and unfortunately at the very342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVst6y7OzFh
last hour and always at the most basic level required for our success, and anything342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUUCW3i2P7d
else that I come to learn must be importuned, but such a thing has never hindered us.342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAS1rMdGgtV
Duty calls to us, our king bestows upon us the knowledge he deems necessary for us342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrP5rC6K8Tt
to succeed, and we always do.342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQAxMAkj9py
Tonight will be no different. We will succeed regardless of how little we know.342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSXNmZg1ZDM
Always remember that is who we are. Now that’s out of the way...342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlfrXV3V8Hq
I will now say something I do not usually need to tell you...342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhVxArbTXa1
I want everyone here to be extremely careful tonight and to never, under any342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx2W7NBWd06
circumstance, underestimate the situation around you or even worse to overestimate342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJM4fSzAc9H
yourselves. I have always been reminded that all things should be taken in moderation,342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYiqzWD5BTa
even experience, for too much of it can also harm. These are always important words342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgCDOH8CmdV
I think, but it is not my intent to bother your ears with them...342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVBmPgE7CVO
I will just leave you with this: I want every single one of you, tonight, to remember342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ00ZJ6hcfas
at all times why we succeed...342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEDiaYOe9WT
I ask you all to promise me and yourselves this. Indulge me, please.342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeVQ6yNNHve
Tonight, will be a vastly different mission from any we had previously been charged342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzzaei3ZAi7
with, in both time and geography.342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡywwbeU0Z7e
We are headed to a place like no other and never before has so little time been given342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCJeQB8aCrG
to us to accomplish a mission. Never had I heard such urgency in his majesty’s voice.342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIVG0ZfBSUM
I was instructed to warn you that this is the most important mission the Hand has342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrRTrbxJ80T
ever been charged with - these are words from King Hervies himself as he stared me342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBBnf7KUTft
in the eyes.342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4kSgKGPhe1
Be always mindful of this.342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0BD4d6GwId
So, as I am sure you are aware by now, we are heading up there, towards the top of342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9p8yQfUE1t
that mountain, into the facility established since the incident that killed this place.342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2EZIVoIsfl
I was told that we are not to expect any encountered resistance hence we bring only342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf1thcygAyi
our basic weaponry, I was also warned that this mission is not one of search and rescue342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOxxHDthaGG
no matter how dire the situation presented to us.342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRAYdlpRizK
We are not to go out of our way to rescue someone if such a scenario, however342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXVFayvscbE
unlikely, is presented to us. We are to move in fully prepared and expecting the worst342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRREbaHdypu
possible situation as we always do, for they never call us in otherwise. All we know as of342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGJbVV0b4ZJ
now is that all forms of communication between the palace and all those stationed up342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc86OHZBSks
there were lost after six years of assiduity, cut off deliberately but not by our majesty’s342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO7efK72dPa
command.342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMW4rR9dyXg
Those people stationed there come up with something, a discovery of great342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNK5e9Jke3C
importance, unprecedented. Whether it was one of the many research teams that342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ANgRd1dAN
achieved it, or it was unburied by the digging team, this I do not know. I was not told342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrueOXdjJUl
about this.
