“Briefing”
Every one of us here has a privileged position, as we all know; we are fortunate390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ18uH4Udme9
to serve our nation and our ruler to unparalleled levels, we are chosen and390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB5tZ9EtgxX
with our actions, we display the very best our kingdom has to offer. We are390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvC6DnNzLmh
its strength and its cunning. We undertake what very few can even consider, and we390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0SAcFFq16L
always succeed.390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhcRcOhJFya
That is what we do, who we are.390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡENuk1HkSES
We are both the first arrow and the rumoured dagger. We are fortunate for we are390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkbUZTqG5Wn
thus allowed to see and know more than most ever will, but we are still far from seeing390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM5uO5azKar
and knowing everything, of hearing all the secrets. We are not told of certain things390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCiel1f4LTl
unless urgency for our services demands it and so sometimes, most the times, all the390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh0ICKe2Gk1
privileged information is shared with us forcibly.Usually and unfortunately at the very390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPeAdBCz2j1
last hour and always at the most basic level required for our success, and anything390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKhRzajr5YB
else that I come to learn must be importuned, but such a thing has never hindered us.390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Ksqzk7U5p
Duty calls to us, our king bestows upon us the knowledge he deems necessary for us390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKUPLYyu4B6
to succeed, and we always do.390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE57BUkHdJK
Tonight will be no different. We will succeed regardless of how little we know.390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvoiWSMcTGO
Always remember that is who we are. Now that’s out of the way...390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDeZtaWKvXu
I will now say something I do not usually need to tell you...390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBtPI6i8Z1i
I want everyone here to be extremely careful tonight and to never, under any390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm8tDMNIJB2
circumstance, underestimate the situation around you or even worse to overestimate390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnSqpfA2Lea
yourselves. I have always been reminded that all things should be taken in moderation,390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfw0ipTlVrw
even experience, for too much of it can also harm. These are always important words390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSjvidYGF57
I think, but it is not my intent to bother your ears with them...390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3jn5aPgWnw
I will just leave you with this: I want every single one of you, tonight, to remember390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1OPCbrDoUz
at all times why we succeed...390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP0L6J4Dgpt
I ask you all to promise me and yourselves this. Indulge me, please.390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBQatNbqQ65
Tonight, will be a vastly different mission from any we had previously been charged390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1yzkYHLLNU
with, in both time and geography.390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7RWeXnfX7J
We are headed to a place like no other and never before has so little time been given390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwJEqIZQWFF
to us to accomplish a mission. Never had I heard such urgency in his majesty’s voice.390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO00Cx9PonH
I was instructed to warn you that this is the most important mission the Hand has390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOB7lTBDDlr
ever been charged with - these are words from King Hervies himself as he stared me390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC3YE7MfQR6
in the eyes.390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡagpQQWSOFz
Be always mindful of this.390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3qcqBWX115
So, as I am sure you are aware by now, we are heading up there, towards the top of390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV7H458ypyN
that mountain, into the facility established since the incident that killed this place.390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYrCRCd2c5i
I was told that we are not to expect any encountered resistance hence we bring only390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtFWpaCltci
our basic weaponry, I was also warned that this mission is not one of search and rescue390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuh3PS2oLyA
no matter how dire the situation presented to us.390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7QbnIUNwZ1
We are not to go out of our way to rescue someone if such a scenario, however390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡInKlFBYmFm
unlikely, is presented to us. We are to move in fully prepared and expecting the worst390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo9MaB8doIA
possible situation as we always do, for they never call us in otherwise. All we know as of390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBpUaATa9zg
now is that all forms of communication between the palace and all those stationed up390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgIG63jkUMa
there were lost after six years of assiduity, cut off deliberately but not by our majesty’s390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjrsa4ue7FB
command.390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHv5Ul2OVZM
Those people stationed there come up with something, a discovery of great390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsPKAEMAeY0
importance, unprecedented. Whether it was one of the many research teams that390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCBO1SkzxoP
achieved it, or it was unburied by the digging team, this I do not know. I was not told390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaW0wKTvtDM
about this.
