Chapter Five187Please respect copyright.PENANAQe1smgIYSJ
“Briefing”
Every one of us here has a privileged position, as we all know; we are fortunate187Please respect copyright.PENANADSnyFX8S3n
to serve our nation and our ruler to unparalleled levels, we are chosen and187Please respect copyright.PENANAryrvGT5GXs
with our actions, we display the very best our kingdom has to offer. We are187Please respect copyright.PENANA0vBgTu6TsG
its strength and its cunning. We undertake what very few can even consider, and we187Please respect copyright.PENANAbbMbr4G2w0
always succeed.187Please respect copyright.PENANAtdXuBYfdpI
That is what we do, who we are.187Please respect copyright.PENANALeJRzJzglR
We are both the first arrow and the rumoured dagger. We are fortunate for we are187Please respect copyright.PENANAej3NTGSg9I
thus allowed to see and know more than most ever will, but we are still far from seeing187Please respect copyright.PENANADZo8U8sGtd
and knowing everything, of hearing all the secrets. We are not told of certain things187Please respect copyright.PENANAdDapxqd6Y2
unless urgency for our services demands it and so sometimes, most the times, all the187Please respect copyright.PENANASyE5B53mUE
privileged information is shared with us forcibly.Usually and unfortunately at the very187Please respect copyright.PENANAnPXGPZDnwj
last hour and always at the most basic level required for our success, and anything187Please respect copyright.PENANAO8AXpnv2pg
else that I come to learn must be importuned, but such a thing has never hindered us.187Please respect copyright.PENANAdLzRHuo19I
Duty calls to us, our king bestows upon us the knowledge he deems necessary for us187Please respect copyright.PENANAAZIcLANGGi
to succeed, and we always do.187Please respect copyright.PENANApoQbC0Lg1Y
Tonight will be no different. We will succeed regardless of how little we know.187Please respect copyright.PENANAIe2IbAru2o
Always remember that is who we are. Now that’s out of the way...187Please respect copyright.PENANA6ZsTFvM8lD
I will now say something I do not usually need to tell you...187Please respect copyright.PENANAlzzHZ7tuGc
I want everyone here to be extremely careful tonight and to never, under any187Please respect copyright.PENANA6aRBepUfUi
circumstance, underestimate the situation around you or even worse to overestimate187Please respect copyright.PENANAYuASjskqUO
yourselves. I have always been reminded that all things should be taken in moderation,187Please respect copyright.PENANAdb7Fkjp4EE
even experience, for too much of it can also harm. These are always important words187Please respect copyright.PENANAK47I553SFJ
I think, but it is not my intent to bother your ears with them...187Please respect copyright.PENANAtk6FVtwt93
I will just leave you with this: I want every single one of you, tonight, to remember187Please respect copyright.PENANAIdPv67h5t6
at all times why we succeed...187Please respect copyright.PENANAzIs7l3b4Qa
I ask you all to promise me and yourselves this. Indulge me, please.187Please respect copyright.PENANA76WWnRXKXX
Tonight, will be a vastly different mission from any we had previously been charged187Please respect copyright.PENANAwnvtHAH3ks
with, in both time and geography.187Please respect copyright.PENANA03yxpquOJ6
We are headed to a place like no other and never before has so little time been given187Please respect copyright.PENANADrfiaTsakN
to us to accomplish a mission. Never had I heard such urgency in his majesty’s voice.187Please respect copyright.PENANAwl8mit2X5Q
I was instructed to warn you that this is the most important mission the Hand has187Please respect copyright.PENANAheZv6JZGr9
ever been charged with - these are words from King Hervies himself as he stared me187Please respect copyright.PENANAN6Xp4rfIte
in the eyes.187Please respect copyright.PENANAkJAGOhQfOd
Be always mindful of this.187Please respect copyright.PENANAQ4cEIBsDGx
So, as I am sure you are aware by now, we are heading up there, towards the top of187Please respect copyright.PENANAIOj4aDcRhz
that mountain, into the facility established since the incident that killed this place.187Please respect copyright.PENANATG5tnRtyfK
I was told that we are not to expect any encountered resistance hence we bring only187Please respect copyright.PENANAIGNUmgV1xl
our basic weaponry, I was also warned that this mission is not one of search and rescue187Please respect copyright.PENANAcQQNKJkH19
no matter how dire the situation presented to us.187Please respect copyright.PENANAds7V3I8nSU
We are not to go out of our way to rescue someone if such a scenario, however187Please respect copyright.PENANACtgGCGUITM
unlikely, is presented to us. We are to move in fully prepared and expecting the worst187Please respect copyright.PENANAgImkPFhyZE
possible situation as we always do, for they never call us in otherwise. All we know as of187Please respect copyright.PENANANc4wQma611
now is that all forms of communication between the palace and all those stationed up187Please respect copyright.PENANAFVDcdfjNXn
there were lost after six years of assiduity, cut off deliberately but not by our majesty’s187Please respect copyright.PENANAsK0vCUBLLn
command.187Please respect copyright.PENANA31HSJloCpA
Those people stationed there come up with something, a discovery of great187Please respect copyright.PENANAjTOQHp4GAG
importance, unprecedented. Whether it was one of the many research teams that187Please respect copyright.PENANAAQCVjn2PyO
achieved it, or it was unburied by the digging team, this I do not know. I was not told187Please respect copyright.PENANAbxGq56SW7v
about this.
