“Briefing”
Every one of us here has a privileged position, as we all know; we are fortunate412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAhML3TTfLP
to serve our nation and our ruler to unparalleled levels, we are chosen and412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC6nXNZKRS3
with our actions, we display the very best our kingdom has to offer. We are412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZdOXalDvZb
its strength and its cunning. We undertake what very few can even consider, and we412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBhczD0PABb
always succeed.412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgXOW0U9lmd
That is what we do, who we are.412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOcsdBZTbdP
We are both the first arrow and the rumoured dagger. We are fortunate for we are412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvfgyrw0Vbe
thus allowed to see and know more than most ever will, but we are still far from seeing412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoO4BrCoVbt
and knowing everything, of hearing all the secrets. We are not told of certain things412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUFoAObEVNL
unless urgency for our services demands it and so sometimes, most the times, all the412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOwk5Zfrijc
privileged information is shared with us forcibly.Usually and unfortunately at the very412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwjG1cZViuJ
last hour and always at the most basic level required for our success, and anything412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaVBWcUtpmC
else that I come to learn must be importuned, but such a thing has never hindered us.412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkaPRR9hdtr
Duty calls to us, our king bestows upon us the knowledge he deems necessary for us412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM7fyNmIoEB
to succeed, and we always do.412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuEDyACVZTi
Tonight will be no different. We will succeed regardless of how little we know.412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡILRlZ7NQf7
Always remember that is who we are. Now that’s out of the way...412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkzib0bHTBA
I will now say something I do not usually need to tell you...412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx6tFntmBCU
I want everyone here to be extremely careful tonight and to never, under any412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4TrIJErTjW
circumstance, underestimate the situation around you or even worse to overestimate412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPYJiSbIpLr
yourselves. I have always been reminded that all things should be taken in moderation,412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIvrqnGIkQl
even experience, for too much of it can also harm. These are always important words412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa0RWNbEhJC
I think, but it is not my intent to bother your ears with them...412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEv02Jb1J8N
I will just leave you with this: I want every single one of you, tonight, to remember412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5KQeVKaEMY
at all times why we succeed...412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgfufja7u49
I ask you all to promise me and yourselves this. Indulge me, please.412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSuQtTqmkn8
Tonight, will be a vastly different mission from any we had previously been charged412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRqqohkyfWR
with, in both time and geography.412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2kNwwfSvaS
We are headed to a place like no other and never before has so little time been given412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjJhAaBSNaJ
to us to accomplish a mission. Never had I heard such urgency in his majesty’s voice.412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLRLyOPK4Dk
I was instructed to warn you that this is the most important mission the Hand has412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg9xKU7QqQw
ever been charged with - these are words from King Hervies himself as he stared me412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXCM9EgH8IK
in the eyes.412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1UQnMjXcjV
Be always mindful of this.412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7etDsvhJSw
So, as I am sure you are aware by now, we are heading up there, towards the top of412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQMtEJbF3g5
that mountain, into the facility established since the incident that killed this place.412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpJEnteN8XA
I was told that we are not to expect any encountered resistance hence we bring only412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLbu3xT5v4M
our basic weaponry, I was also warned that this mission is not one of search and rescue412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWGusus0Wbd
no matter how dire the situation presented to us.412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5UMzp3dIdp
We are not to go out of our way to rescue someone if such a scenario, however412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzdP7ELtxNd
unlikely, is presented to us. We are to move in fully prepared and expecting the worst412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDeXb8XRKXD
possible situation as we always do, for they never call us in otherwise. All we know as of412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu0TXKWS4wT
now is that all forms of communication between the palace and all those stationed up412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBBEYZGDcO4
there were lost after six years of assiduity, cut off deliberately but not by our majesty’s412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbedmDBSIQY
command.412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaz6gaBYhFe
Those people stationed there come up with something, a discovery of great412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO39sCpNAh6
importance, unprecedented. Whether it was one of the many research teams that412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR3YYxyWNBT
achieved it, or it was unburied by the digging team, this I do not know. I was not told412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUHxCBIPTEg
about this.
