“Briefing”
Every one of us here has a privileged position, as we all know; we are fortunate337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVNUzPhvIWa
to serve our nation and our ruler to unparalleled levels, we are chosen and337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrLealEVjvv
with our actions, we display the very best our kingdom has to offer. We are337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0vSRR4Azqf
its strength and its cunning. We undertake what very few can even consider, and we337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ZbUlfskRj
always succeed.337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ03vw4bmbkv
That is what we do, who we are.337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpZ4Dv0RKKb
We are both the first arrow and the rumoured dagger. We are fortunate for we are337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlEAFOJv3YQ
thus allowed to see and know more than most ever will, but we are still far from seeing337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1aDfJdUjKq
and knowing everything, of hearing all the secrets. We are not told of certain things337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3bTytOR32r
unless urgency for our services demands it and so sometimes, most the times, all the337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw6d7WK5WVg
privileged information is shared with us forcibly.Usually and unfortunately at the very337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHHPsQV8TXT
last hour and always at the most basic level required for our success, and anything337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7WIz7WIFeh
else that I come to learn must be importuned, but such a thing has never hindered us.337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0m0iecNmZ8
Duty calls to us, our king bestows upon us the knowledge he deems necessary for us337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoywDPtOXHV
to succeed, and we always do.337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR39jAwIWmU
Tonight will be no different. We will succeed regardless of how little we know.337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpHRbAAyuu6
Always remember that is who we are. Now that’s out of the way...337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs8XkVkrc7y
I will now say something I do not usually need to tell you...337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMa5c9TKnqu
I want everyone here to be extremely careful tonight and to never, under any337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn2VclCPOGW
circumstance, underestimate the situation around you or even worse to overestimate337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8OvAvbQhJj
yourselves. I have always been reminded that all things should be taken in moderation,337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjGB0JOf2wy
even experience, for too much of it can also harm. These are always important words337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQGpKH9kJ7j
I think, but it is not my intent to bother your ears with them...337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNLtOTFHV3P
I will just leave you with this: I want every single one of you, tonight, to remember337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡplwsPNkQ1k
at all times why we succeed...337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzgKcD4AE5X
I ask you all to promise me and yourselves this. Indulge me, please.337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcwKZyeioMW
Tonight, will be a vastly different mission from any we had previously been charged337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhyJFVS6SK3
with, in both time and geography.337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiRPTbCP6p2
We are headed to a place like no other and never before has so little time been given337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcYGWDnciDb
to us to accomplish a mission. Never had I heard such urgency in his majesty’s voice.337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2fsW17Chfx
I was instructed to warn you that this is the most important mission the Hand has337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIsvo68VCbC
ever been charged with - these are words from King Hervies himself as he stared me337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Ua23I3njQ
in the eyes.337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuQfYerq9mz
Be always mindful of this.337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx7bbQThF4p
So, as I am sure you are aware by now, we are heading up there, towards the top of337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxnRRvT9Yv7
that mountain, into the facility established since the incident that killed this place.337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6TJ9gRdoUW
I was told that we are not to expect any encountered resistance hence we bring only337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ZubFQ7S5a
our basic weaponry, I was also warned that this mission is not one of search and rescue337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHOGHMNIOu9
no matter how dire the situation presented to us.337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUz7AMJPfeo
We are not to go out of our way to rescue someone if such a scenario, however337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrB5jDhEC1b
unlikely, is presented to us. We are to move in fully prepared and expecting the worst337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZwBm98T2i9
possible situation as we always do, for they never call us in otherwise. All we know as of337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEdgGrIMxQo
now is that all forms of communication between the palace and all those stationed up337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4tDPh8GlKK
there were lost after six years of assiduity, cut off deliberately but not by our majesty’s337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVaFgQaJ2la
command.337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡppXj1rPt8N
Those people stationed there come up with something, a discovery of great337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSqobWxHKVL
importance, unprecedented. Whether it was one of the many research teams that337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMg6cZL3Cpq
achieved it, or it was unburied by the digging team, this I do not know. I was not told337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4m7B3HqYu5
about this.
