“Briefing”
Every one of us here has a privileged position, as we all know; we are fortunate335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjz8NuOICmU
to serve our nation and our ruler to unparalleled levels, we are chosen and335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnoIy06hrIS
with our actions, we display the very best our kingdom has to offer. We are335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTa13DNNpBl
its strength and its cunning. We undertake what very few can even consider, and we335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx5PJRaZiMX
always succeed.335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmL0sMjQEBz
That is what we do, who we are.335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbglYfmDEXc
We are both the first arrow and the rumoured dagger. We are fortunate for we are335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ419f0lGU0U
thus allowed to see and know more than most ever will, but we are still far from seeing335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxpeBgIT54J
and knowing everything, of hearing all the secrets. We are not told of certain things335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ95P0bcuxv6
unless urgency for our services demands it and so sometimes, most the times, all the335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2mwoG17FKr
privileged information is shared with us forcibly.Usually and unfortunately at the very335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt6RyCE3nsB
last hour and always at the most basic level required for our success, and anything335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbW6q3CPDWu
else that I come to learn must be importuned, but such a thing has never hindered us.335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlnD0OYWTKn
Duty calls to us, our king bestows upon us the knowledge he deems necessary for us335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUeH6sD7XLq
to succeed, and we always do.335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRkXiH9oeSJ
Tonight will be no different. We will succeed regardless of how little we know.335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0FM6thAIBd
Always remember that is who we are. Now that’s out of the way...335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQIrIENTY3J
I will now say something I do not usually need to tell you...335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdVjbHwe9HS
I want everyone here to be extremely careful tonight and to never, under any335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtttwoVqknU
circumstance, underestimate the situation around you or even worse to overestimate335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf3asidIbgB
yourselves. I have always been reminded that all things should be taken in moderation,335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpaUTHUGRiv
even experience, for too much of it can also harm. These are always important words335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrjbHMojase
I think, but it is not my intent to bother your ears with them...335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt8TyFCeOUf
I will just leave you with this: I want every single one of you, tonight, to remember335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRJkIPUOrpV
at all times why we succeed...335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn0Osa69bkw
I ask you all to promise me and yourselves this. Indulge me, please.335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG1OUtTvIQF
Tonight, will be a vastly different mission from any we had previously been charged335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVZ0bNuwHAm
with, in both time and geography.335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcuy5q4RgD0
We are headed to a place like no other and never before has so little time been given335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMHQOmTomim
to us to accomplish a mission. Never had I heard such urgency in his majesty’s voice.335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPLByctm2ZZ
I was instructed to warn you that this is the most important mission the Hand has335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLmLfRmL48Z
ever been charged with - these are words from King Hervies himself as he stared me335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQMIIxrINKF
in the eyes.335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGMJ4Fu8vxd
Be always mindful of this.335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUpMjjCjmhP
So, as I am sure you are aware by now, we are heading up there, towards the top of335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgODcewkgnB
that mountain, into the facility established since the incident that killed this place.335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxL7iDhrrCf
I was told that we are not to expect any encountered resistance hence we bring only335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ6wjH98Rbi
our basic weaponry, I was also warned that this mission is not one of search and rescue335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ83iMmvRBpA
no matter how dire the situation presented to us.335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDKFhyVD73D
We are not to go out of our way to rescue someone if such a scenario, however335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOutyBfpInH
unlikely, is presented to us. We are to move in fully prepared and expecting the worst335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxn92pmEXdk
possible situation as we always do, for they never call us in otherwise. All we know as of335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNM2wYvcxQb
now is that all forms of communication between the palace and all those stationed up335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡShhxYTmrIG
there were lost after six years of assiduity, cut off deliberately but not by our majesty’s335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVbrsck9kQf
command.335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvmoAuc4w12
Those people stationed there come up with something, a discovery of great335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ys3sDqnea
importance, unprecedented. Whether it was one of the many research teams that335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlhTfw3HNqK
achieved it, or it was unburied by the digging team, this I do not know. I was not told335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡARVhwnjzig
about this.
