“Briefing”
Every one of us here has a privileged position, as we all know; we are fortunate416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE2KgtbEtgS
to serve our nation and our ruler to unparalleled levels, we are chosen and416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhKYH1QxgNZ
with our actions, we display the very best our kingdom has to offer. We are416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4zngg0SJjg
its strength and its cunning. We undertake what very few can even consider, and we416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoYrOQqtGeD
always succeed.416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTYeTuYEQUx
That is what we do, who we are.416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv5tlCb21Ir
We are both the first arrow and the rumoured dagger. We are fortunate for we are416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSXqjeYULhL
thus allowed to see and know more than most ever will, but we are still far from seeing416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcZv42sGZFn
and knowing everything, of hearing all the secrets. We are not told of certain things416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCCdNwzauyp
unless urgency for our services demands it and so sometimes, most the times, all the416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqc0kyBsSTz
privileged information is shared with us forcibly.Usually and unfortunately at the very416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5th6jcqwg7
last hour and always at the most basic level required for our success, and anything416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBmXCcKWc5w
else that I come to learn must be importuned, but such a thing has never hindered us.416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMEFx6mOMoB
Duty calls to us, our king bestows upon us the knowledge he deems necessary for us416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnuEdbgazvK
to succeed, and we always do.416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc2picROriK
Tonight will be no different. We will succeed regardless of how little we know.416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8D9iWXCWGw
Always remember that is who we are. Now that’s out of the way...416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3mqCtdffPA
I will now say something I do not usually need to tell you...416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8kzPyfqzkv
I want everyone here to be extremely careful tonight and to never, under any416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrmBIlAGEBv
circumstance, underestimate the situation around you or even worse to overestimate416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhStW8rrv32
yourselves. I have always been reminded that all things should be taken in moderation,416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMBEP0YVSZw
even experience, for too much of it can also harm. These are always important words416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgKFboc6pyW
I think, but it is not my intent to bother your ears with them...416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbAwKg2czsM
I will just leave you with this: I want every single one of you, tonight, to remember416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ036oACzDKj
at all times why we succeed...416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhJR3jf0nbr
I ask you all to promise me and yourselves this. Indulge me, please.416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnPP9qHvXzT
Tonight, will be a vastly different mission from any we had previously been charged416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmBbya4BKJq
with, in both time and geography.416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUm8DvTygQU
We are headed to a place like no other and never before has so little time been given416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdMdZVUavqb
to us to accomplish a mission. Never had I heard such urgency in his majesty’s voice.416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyRBZjR0KKo
I was instructed to warn you that this is the most important mission the Hand has416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4YimyMWAIl
ever been charged with - these are words from King Hervies himself as he stared me416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj1d60UBrOm
in the eyes.416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRZtLbWWDZ1
Be always mindful of this.416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpk5Mb2N7G3
So, as I am sure you are aware by now, we are heading up there, towards the top of416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRU2LA6LUtT
that mountain, into the facility established since the incident that killed this place.416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFMUsLYx8va
I was told that we are not to expect any encountered resistance hence we bring only416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbhn05pGmrq
our basic weaponry, I was also warned that this mission is not one of search and rescue416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxKNnnyiuy9
no matter how dire the situation presented to us.416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOXGJ1Qs1mX
We are not to go out of our way to rescue someone if such a scenario, however416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmGx25tqQmV
unlikely, is presented to us. We are to move in fully prepared and expecting the worst416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5g58I3RneQ
possible situation as we always do, for they never call us in otherwise. All we know as of416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIqy9L1BNM7
now is that all forms of communication between the palace and all those stationed up416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6cDcdbYfM0
there were lost after six years of assiduity, cut off deliberately but not by our majesty’s416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN75AwgAtj8
command.416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Kcd4Q1efF
Those people stationed there come up with something, a discovery of great416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCAxLv6TVZf
importance, unprecedented. Whether it was one of the many research teams that416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2KciZyvgoz
achieved it, or it was unburied by the digging team, this I do not know. I was not told416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBLrbQ2Sj9l
about this.
