“Briefing”
Every one of us here has a privileged position, as we all know; we are fortunate301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrvcQzeVQ6e
to serve our nation and our ruler to unparalleled levels, we are chosen and301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj6EDUWQJZm
with our actions, we display the very best our kingdom has to offer. We are301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡocLAD7F8b4
its strength and its cunning. We undertake what very few can even consider, and we301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkC5ERMZ7PB
always succeed.301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhG1Ki4QXBx
That is what we do, who we are.301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpWrdlooWAr
We are both the first arrow and the rumoured dagger. We are fortunate for we are301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWG94fa0WeA
thus allowed to see and know more than most ever will, but we are still far from seeing301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOuCHLb4JzO
and knowing everything, of hearing all the secrets. We are not told of certain things301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxhYLgiU4mX
unless urgency for our services demands it and so sometimes, most the times, all the301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrBcIXfGcHv
privileged information is shared with us forcibly.Usually and unfortunately at the very301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAjMHcNubgi
last hour and always at the most basic level required for our success, and anything301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHPsMbT8MXc
else that I come to learn must be importuned, but such a thing has never hindered us.301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS2FMhsKdXo
Duty calls to us, our king bestows upon us the knowledge he deems necessary for us301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡydI5aXyfnH
to succeed, and we always do.301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡswziP3Q7FQ
Tonight will be no different. We will succeed regardless of how little we know.301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa3bWrKoZeB
Always remember that is who we are. Now that’s out of the way...301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKZFHowsnvx
I will now say something I do not usually need to tell you...301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3pYjlHM3bi
I want everyone here to be extremely careful tonight and to never, under any301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj0IfdEkRx9
circumstance, underestimate the situation around you or even worse to overestimate301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv4oGIEMinI
yourselves. I have always been reminded that all things should be taken in moderation,301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz4TYUhzrfZ
even experience, for too much of it can also harm. These are always important words301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjLGYGfYkTJ
I think, but it is not my intent to bother your ears with them...301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR1KGSObjvf
I will just leave you with this: I want every single one of you, tonight, to remember301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDwM7FS0fwL
at all times why we succeed...301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu9UmLBpLjU
I ask you all to promise me and yourselves this. Indulge me, please.301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsQiMIxa87e
Tonight, will be a vastly different mission from any we had previously been charged301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAKkFrFae1h
with, in both time and geography.301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJl2nCyXakd
We are headed to a place like no other and never before has so little time been given301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPIktqVF9ba
to us to accomplish a mission. Never had I heard such urgency in his majesty’s voice.301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGQ2V5cnmKL
I was instructed to warn you that this is the most important mission the Hand has301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRDSOI7Bf98
ever been charged with - these are words from King Hervies himself as he stared me301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2VbMiEAjQa
in the eyes.301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXTApblEitF
Be always mindful of this.301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQIB0cmRZMw
So, as I am sure you are aware by now, we are heading up there, towards the top of301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCKkrGnsSDF
that mountain, into the facility established since the incident that killed this place.301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHXgCXXnHSt
I was told that we are not to expect any encountered resistance hence we bring only301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡllVdWYJrK4
our basic weaponry, I was also warned that this mission is not one of search and rescue301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjEsbVachhc
no matter how dire the situation presented to us.301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQxh1RGuzz5
We are not to go out of our way to rescue someone if such a scenario, however301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlEqKuotIXg
unlikely, is presented to us. We are to move in fully prepared and expecting the worst301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsDyjGB0G1M
possible situation as we always do, for they never call us in otherwise. All we know as of301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡua5MVpXoh0
now is that all forms of communication between the palace and all those stationed up301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo6hwFetAPr
there were lost after six years of assiduity, cut off deliberately but not by our majesty’s301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLAQBDmEXza
command.301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡka2wGB3Pld
Those people stationed there come up with something, a discovery of great301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Jxk3DjLji
importance, unprecedented. Whether it was one of the many research teams that301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsps4RhQ2qE
achieved it, or it was unburied by the digging team, this I do not know. I was not told301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsBtHHx5CN4
about this.
