Chapter Five107Please respect copyright.PENANA1rKWfKOqT1
“Briefing”
Every one of us here has a privileged position, as we all know; we are fortunate107Please respect copyright.PENANA47hZ30cHxW
to serve our nation and our ruler to unparalleled levels, we are chosen and107Please respect copyright.PENANARBFcoy4p8f
with our actions, we display the very best our kingdom has to offer. We are107Please respect copyright.PENANA0D30IM6aT5
its strength and its cunning. We undertake what very few can even consider, and we107Please respect copyright.PENANAUJ3bEZGZty
always succeed.107Please respect copyright.PENANAfP1cLhPNjl
That is what we do, who we are.107Please respect copyright.PENANArL8GTMf3Ff
We are both the first arrow and the rumoured dagger. We are fortunate for we are107Please respect copyright.PENANAXKMveZDsgc
thus allowed to see and know more than most ever will, but we are still far from seeing107Please respect copyright.PENANAyp72dwtJpc
and knowing everything, of hearing all the secrets. We are not told of certain things107Please respect copyright.PENANA1Y6jA9q8Gs
unless urgency for our services demands it and so sometimes, most the times, all the107Please respect copyright.PENANAx9XSUUfa2A
privileged information is shared with us forcibly.Usually and unfortunately at the very107Please respect copyright.PENANAWGTAMemcdF
last hour and always at the most basic level required for our success, and anything107Please respect copyright.PENANAa8cv9yzYoX
else that I come to learn must be importuned, but such a thing has never hindered us.107Please respect copyright.PENANAbyDnzW7QFx
Duty calls to us, our king bestows upon us the knowledge he deems necessary for us107Please respect copyright.PENANAEb1uJ9l7Bn
to succeed, and we always do.107Please respect copyright.PENANAIf4xzmMds0
Tonight will be no different. We will succeed regardless of how little we know.107Please respect copyright.PENANAltAzAqf2wC
Always remember that is who we are. Now that’s out of the way...107Please respect copyright.PENANA2P5EXRxoRf
I will now say something I do not usually need to tell you...107Please respect copyright.PENANAx76hXELIvd
I want everyone here to be extremely careful tonight and to never, under any107Please respect copyright.PENANAFvOgU7PDYE
circumstance, underestimate the situation around you or even worse to overestimate107Please respect copyright.PENANAPybBOm6fTV
yourselves. I have always been reminded that all things should be taken in moderation,107Please respect copyright.PENANAYbtylyFquF
even experience, for too much of it can also harm. These are always important words107Please respect copyright.PENANAFvxqD9KcKj
I think, but it is not my intent to bother your ears with them...107Please respect copyright.PENANAgOfX3NABiq
I will just leave you with this: I want every single one of you, tonight, to remember107Please respect copyright.PENANAM4QciXDDzj
at all times why we succeed...107Please respect copyright.PENANArCUF74aAa6
I ask you all to promise me and yourselves this. Indulge me, please.107Please respect copyright.PENANA6ZOOxHMneN
Tonight, will be a vastly different mission from any we had previously been charged107Please respect copyright.PENANAtmj72Bqlsv
with, in both time and geography.107Please respect copyright.PENANAX5dVJD8orO
We are headed to a place like no other and never before has so little time been given107Please respect copyright.PENANA9A0tYupxiK
to us to accomplish a mission. Never had I heard such urgency in his majesty’s voice.107Please respect copyright.PENANA4GjJ6TFlkd
I was instructed to warn you that this is the most important mission the Hand has107Please respect copyright.PENANAYgZtzJByg4
ever been charged with - these are words from King Hervies himself as he stared me107Please respect copyright.PENANAEQ1qWSueeQ
in the eyes.107Please respect copyright.PENANAqbed7DWHK1
Be always mindful of this.107Please respect copyright.PENANAcGlSIqxn7R
So, as I am sure you are aware by now, we are heading up there, towards the top of107Please respect copyright.PENANAbQcRyLRFwp
that mountain, into the facility established since the incident that killed this place.107Please respect copyright.PENANAX0lXOszB4x
I was told that we are not to expect any encountered resistance hence we bring only107Please respect copyright.PENANAMuQ2jJY0qr
our basic weaponry, I was also warned that this mission is not one of search and rescue107Please respect copyright.PENANAPw6jfJ2q2S
no matter how dire the situation presented to us.107Please respect copyright.PENANAKh6W87LE5b
We are not to go out of our way to rescue someone if such a scenario, however107Please respect copyright.PENANALfBTzHgOKN
unlikely, is presented to us. We are to move in fully prepared and expecting the worst107Please respect copyright.PENANAYvzXu53RH6
possible situation as we always do, for they never call us in otherwise. All we know as of107Please respect copyright.PENANANEQbtFVDVN
now is that all forms of communication between the palace and all those stationed up107Please respect copyright.PENANACYeHuVPM4Y
there were lost after six years of assiduity, cut off deliberately but not by our majesty’s107Please respect copyright.PENANAPIZS3gGo7N
command.107Please respect copyright.PENANA5DHUIRg9aU
Those people stationed there come up with something, a discovery of great107Please respect copyright.PENANABWzhSzVKkl
importance, unprecedented. Whether it was one of the many research teams that107Please respect copyright.PENANADFsGxI5ZKO
achieved it, or it was unburied by the digging team, this I do not know. I was not told107Please respect copyright.PENANADJgiNWr9uj
about this.
