Chapter Five113Please respect copyright.PENANAvzI2cdXaYe
“Briefing”
Every one of us here has a privileged position, as we all know; we are fortunate113Please respect copyright.PENANAZ3JlkKNyry
to serve our nation and our ruler to unparalleled levels, we are chosen and113Please respect copyright.PENANA3Exx5mR7Fm
with our actions, we display the very best our kingdom has to offer. We are113Please respect copyright.PENANAtBbHqhxvKM
its strength and its cunning. We undertake what very few can even consider, and we113Please respect copyright.PENANARptvjNrs3Z
always succeed.113Please respect copyright.PENANASXHhz7QodJ
That is what we do, who we are.113Please respect copyright.PENANANlrZyKHacH
We are both the first arrow and the rumoured dagger. We are fortunate for we are113Please respect copyright.PENANAD3ev5RzX2B
thus allowed to see and know more than most ever will, but we are still far from seeing113Please respect copyright.PENANAEZBX5gSSZ4
and knowing everything, of hearing all the secrets. We are not told of certain things113Please respect copyright.PENANAeXZGs6ryNG
unless urgency for our services demands it and so sometimes, most the times, all the113Please respect copyright.PENANAuDRMwr1J27
privileged information is shared with us forcibly.Usually and unfortunately at the very113Please respect copyright.PENANAKz0dUaLtGd
last hour and always at the most basic level required for our success, and anything113Please respect copyright.PENANAMREGPy8PIP
else that I come to learn must be importuned, but such a thing has never hindered us.113Please respect copyright.PENANAmeSlCIUVFB
Duty calls to us, our king bestows upon us the knowledge he deems necessary for us113Please respect copyright.PENANAiKSaaDdIBa
to succeed, and we always do.113Please respect copyright.PENANAug6kZgbBSL
Tonight will be no different. We will succeed regardless of how little we know.113Please respect copyright.PENANAecNwMBitvc
Always remember that is who we are. Now that’s out of the way...113Please respect copyright.PENANArP4zuNa8ra
I will now say something I do not usually need to tell you...113Please respect copyright.PENANAWcRzljAOVk
I want everyone here to be extremely careful tonight and to never, under any113Please respect copyright.PENANAJkSbmsKFUA
circumstance, underestimate the situation around you or even worse to overestimate113Please respect copyright.PENANAkzQLoHE94g
yourselves. I have always been reminded that all things should be taken in moderation,113Please respect copyright.PENANA0wZXEyNOeW
even experience, for too much of it can also harm. These are always important words113Please respect copyright.PENANAGaiMnW5jiV
I think, but it is not my intent to bother your ears with them...113Please respect copyright.PENANAlT7dGBFz3S
I will just leave you with this: I want every single one of you, tonight, to remember113Please respect copyright.PENANA5u6ikV4Bo7
at all times why we succeed...113Please respect copyright.PENANAsZKRdaq9sd
I ask you all to promise me and yourselves this. Indulge me, please.113Please respect copyright.PENANAOeLj7JCTDF
Tonight, will be a vastly different mission from any we had previously been charged113Please respect copyright.PENANAFsRJ9iI8La
with, in both time and geography.113Please respect copyright.PENANA6qGXiEN5UP
We are headed to a place like no other and never before has so little time been given113Please respect copyright.PENANAphDmwEK2PK
to us to accomplish a mission. Never had I heard such urgency in his majesty’s voice.113Please respect copyright.PENANAFKXybWv9EH
I was instructed to warn you that this is the most important mission the Hand has113Please respect copyright.PENANA6kSoTLybVI
ever been charged with - these are words from King Hervies himself as he stared me113Please respect copyright.PENANAfN28whwK07
in the eyes.113Please respect copyright.PENANAwZw7cUzDUI
Be always mindful of this.113Please respect copyright.PENANAo2mNgLbA5e
So, as I am sure you are aware by now, we are heading up there, towards the top of113Please respect copyright.PENANAZoNLLixFjS
that mountain, into the facility established since the incident that killed this place.113Please respect copyright.PENANApuNRlfX2G2
I was told that we are not to expect any encountered resistance hence we bring only113Please respect copyright.PENANAVqHH9xMqGN
our basic weaponry, I was also warned that this mission is not one of search and rescue113Please respect copyright.PENANAyF4vpfKq1j
no matter how dire the situation presented to us.113Please respect copyright.PENANAMnpiDecLC8
We are not to go out of our way to rescue someone if such a scenario, however113Please respect copyright.PENANAWGcf8eKaAI
unlikely, is presented to us. We are to move in fully prepared and expecting the worst113Please respect copyright.PENANA35rMGlrnJe
possible situation as we always do, for they never call us in otherwise. All we know as of113Please respect copyright.PENANAAmCYIIEYi1
now is that all forms of communication between the palace and all those stationed up113Please respect copyright.PENANArvlsV72KES
there were lost after six years of assiduity, cut off deliberately but not by our majesty’s113Please respect copyright.PENANA3sDo64EDIk
command.113Please respect copyright.PENANAKIDr6CWG3f
Those people stationed there come up with something, a discovery of great113Please respect copyright.PENANABeazrlCP44
importance, unprecedented. Whether it was one of the many research teams that113Please respect copyright.PENANAmLzZMWl5sd
achieved it, or it was unburied by the digging team, this I do not know. I was not told113Please respect copyright.PENANAr81ErNFkTf
about this.
