“Briefing”
Every one of us here has a privileged position, as we all know; we are fortunate359Please respect copyright.PENANAgKLiR6rHFI
to serve our nation and our ruler to unparalleled levels, we are chosen and359Please respect copyright.PENANAlc05LXuLAF
with our actions, we display the very best our kingdom has to offer. We are359Please respect copyright.PENANAPpzUSUSXv4
its strength and its cunning. We undertake what very few can even consider, and we359Please respect copyright.PENANANcc08K3ECN
always succeed.359Please respect copyright.PENANAOHxIZTW5hF
That is what we do, who we are.359Please respect copyright.PENANAE0uw50JBAW
We are both the first arrow and the rumoured dagger. We are fortunate for we are359Please respect copyright.PENANAantkiuFXlR
thus allowed to see and know more than most ever will, but we are still far from seeing359Please respect copyright.PENANArpGjJ0cuJS
and knowing everything, of hearing all the secrets. We are not told of certain things359Please respect copyright.PENANAxt902jyRhq
unless urgency for our services demands it and so sometimes, most the times, all the359Please respect copyright.PENANALYl5OcG61I
privileged information is shared with us forcibly.Usually and unfortunately at the very359Please respect copyright.PENANAancIdZ3R8y
last hour and always at the most basic level required for our success, and anything359Please respect copyright.PENANA0oT6pY7xAq
else that I come to learn must be importuned, but such a thing has never hindered us.359Please respect copyright.PENANA3ZajpAdq3y
Duty calls to us, our king bestows upon us the knowledge he deems necessary for us359Please respect copyright.PENANAHzI2KonBej
to succeed, and we always do.359Please respect copyright.PENANAXLWV6DIBsx
Tonight will be no different. We will succeed regardless of how little we know.359Please respect copyright.PENANAo7tKMOOXXs
Always remember that is who we are. Now that’s out of the way...359Please respect copyright.PENANAxi7BCbZOae
I will now say something I do not usually need to tell you...359Please respect copyright.PENANAM6jF1nA6XO
I want everyone here to be extremely careful tonight and to never, under any359Please respect copyright.PENANAREXIO2pWaC
circumstance, underestimate the situation around you or even worse to overestimate359Please respect copyright.PENANAfe4mxUeHEN
yourselves. I have always been reminded that all things should be taken in moderation,359Please respect copyright.PENANAjPm19Jwm1d
even experience, for too much of it can also harm. These are always important words359Please respect copyright.PENANArGTLM06AcQ
I think, but it is not my intent to bother your ears with them...359Please respect copyright.PENANA7FQJK98cZy
I will just leave you with this: I want every single one of you, tonight, to remember359Please respect copyright.PENANAs8ItzNzEMM
at all times why we succeed...359Please respect copyright.PENANAoqBnTg7dpA
I ask you all to promise me and yourselves this. Indulge me, please.359Please respect copyright.PENANAy0SaK7lfyr
Tonight, will be a vastly different mission from any we had previously been charged359Please respect copyright.PENANAxEBXn8qLmi
with, in both time and geography.359Please respect copyright.PENANAzfn3NlDXEI
We are headed to a place like no other and never before has so little time been given359Please respect copyright.PENANALN8CdXGfI6
to us to accomplish a mission. Never had I heard such urgency in his majesty’s voice.359Please respect copyright.PENANAZ2KnR0cjIO
I was instructed to warn you that this is the most important mission the Hand has359Please respect copyright.PENANAjU64IWiast
ever been charged with - these are words from King Hervies himself as he stared me359Please respect copyright.PENANAAstDdwiqe7
in the eyes.359Please respect copyright.PENANAwMQd5lxoRb
Be always mindful of this.359Please respect copyright.PENANAnsUNdS5Heq
So, as I am sure you are aware by now, we are heading up there, towards the top of359Please respect copyright.PENANA8KipFx1xnn
that mountain, into the facility established since the incident that killed this place.359Please respect copyright.PENANA2kkDZpYn56
I was told that we are not to expect any encountered resistance hence we bring only359Please respect copyright.PENANAdoMEYNbhCv
our basic weaponry, I was also warned that this mission is not one of search and rescue359Please respect copyright.PENANAMtNOnhLLzS
no matter how dire the situation presented to us.359Please respect copyright.PENANAHIo0YfnGgk
We are not to go out of our way to rescue someone if such a scenario, however359Please respect copyright.PENANARkS7EIKlKZ
unlikely, is presented to us. We are to move in fully prepared and expecting the worst359Please respect copyright.PENANAaMRkrtVS5f
possible situation as we always do, for they never call us in otherwise. All we know as of359Please respect copyright.PENANAhToa6ItRvh
now is that all forms of communication between the palace and all those stationed up359Please respect copyright.PENANAR8yFhPB0fj
there were lost after six years of assiduity, cut off deliberately but not by our majesty’s359Please respect copyright.PENANAQCAU5zaLwZ
command.359Please respect copyright.PENANAhDZy0PENyD
Those people stationed there come up with something, a discovery of great359Please respect copyright.PENANAtEIAfjvJ2g
importance, unprecedented. Whether it was one of the many research teams that359Please respect copyright.PENANAPTQT2Wbc9S
achieved it, or it was unburied by the digging team, this I do not know. I was not told359Please respect copyright.PENANAh8Uu4ncJ5N
about this.
