“Briefing”
Every one of us here has a privileged position, as we all know; we are fortunate389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2JGEnTPtcR
to serve our nation and our ruler to unparalleled levels, we are chosen and389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaV5xqW5vVo
with our actions, we display the very best our kingdom has to offer. We are389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYRaoU9bE2V
its strength and its cunning. We undertake what very few can even consider, and we389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNojjqyF5FD
always succeed.389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf0PhArudIa
That is what we do, who we are.389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUFl7iMCwiq
We are both the first arrow and the rumoured dagger. We are fortunate for we are389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbEwmNzRuAf
thus allowed to see and know more than most ever will, but we are still far from seeing389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPMBijoLrSM
and knowing everything, of hearing all the secrets. We are not told of certain things389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqjzTHQT61B
unless urgency for our services demands it and so sometimes, most the times, all the389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgOfKG1PBjI
privileged information is shared with us forcibly.Usually and unfortunately at the very389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2WGU9tFY0L
last hour and always at the most basic level required for our success, and anything389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEBwYx9PZ64
else that I come to learn must be importuned, but such a thing has never hindered us.389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT520Z1HbtL
Duty calls to us, our king bestows upon us the knowledge he deems necessary for us389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6rShgVG68P
to succeed, and we always do.389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVbrdQOFcXF
Tonight will be no different. We will succeed regardless of how little we know.389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXOtMe0hdkc
Always remember that is who we are. Now that’s out of the way...389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ64sXNrFTOp
I will now say something I do not usually need to tell you...389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRE612aXjAM
I want everyone here to be extremely careful tonight and to never, under any389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgEHZ77eoCO
circumstance, underestimate the situation around you or even worse to overestimate389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMHbMWZ6pDz
yourselves. I have always been reminded that all things should be taken in moderation,389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6SrMTKPvKK
even experience, for too much of it can also harm. These are always important words389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU7Xu1DJCoX
I think, but it is not my intent to bother your ears with them...389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkKZuIFL0dY
I will just leave you with this: I want every single one of you, tonight, to remember389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqW6yHJKNkO
at all times why we succeed...389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiDxvd1Q7w5
I ask you all to promise me and yourselves this. Indulge me, please.389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgH4fGiQnuI
Tonight, will be a vastly different mission from any we had previously been charged389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDs64ulbymT
with, in both time and geography.389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNjFDajVwpk
We are headed to a place like no other and never before has so little time been given389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgdoygSXIAJ
to us to accomplish a mission. Never had I heard such urgency in his majesty’s voice.389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXq9HZCI7QK
I was instructed to warn you that this is the most important mission the Hand has389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVWCVu0UNJv
ever been charged with - these are words from King Hervies himself as he stared me389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE76aZehTgv
in the eyes.389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh8hV85yIT1
Be always mindful of this.389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUqHSgL3MSW
So, as I am sure you are aware by now, we are heading up there, towards the top of389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqL7WKa53i4
that mountain, into the facility established since the incident that killed this place.389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDKgBmnPdun
I was told that we are not to expect any encountered resistance hence we bring only389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSvCNPPwRnN
our basic weaponry, I was also warned that this mission is not one of search and rescue389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3fThFkh4DV
no matter how dire the situation presented to us.389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI89C7Bw3rh
We are not to go out of our way to rescue someone if such a scenario, however389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ4pQd3ZkiB
unlikely, is presented to us. We are to move in fully prepared and expecting the worst389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRIsaf6q8wh
possible situation as we always do, for they never call us in otherwise. All we know as of389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMmK26zZsxg
now is that all forms of communication between the palace and all those stationed up389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4FnKQ5l54L
there were lost after six years of assiduity, cut off deliberately but not by our majesty’s389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsNUshNpsnD
command.389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXIbOwZTdGu
Those people stationed there come up with something, a discovery of great389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2aZh0RFjnR
importance, unprecedented. Whether it was one of the many research teams that389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuyrHFwblNS
achieved it, or it was unburied by the digging team, this I do not know. I was not told389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfRepOImyfx
about this.
