“Briefing”
Every one of us here has a privileged position, as we all know; we are fortunate336Please respect copyright.PENANA790F9pMVq6
to serve our nation and our ruler to unparalleled levels, we are chosen and336Please respect copyright.PENANAKVjt253Fpa
with our actions, we display the very best our kingdom has to offer. We are336Please respect copyright.PENANAzftxQfr0wo
its strength and its cunning. We undertake what very few can even consider, and we336Please respect copyright.PENANAMapiAerZs9
always succeed.336Please respect copyright.PENANAMEpCbZ7XkD
That is what we do, who we are.336Please respect copyright.PENANAHLk87qSq0y
We are both the first arrow and the rumoured dagger. We are fortunate for we are336Please respect copyright.PENANAs5IiCrTmrh
thus allowed to see and know more than most ever will, but we are still far from seeing336Please respect copyright.PENANAQ7F0iKlxt3
and knowing everything, of hearing all the secrets. We are not told of certain things336Please respect copyright.PENANAEEB8qidsh3
unless urgency for our services demands it and so sometimes, most the times, all the336Please respect copyright.PENANApU8OkmHB7r
privileged information is shared with us forcibly.Usually and unfortunately at the very336Please respect copyright.PENANACJJrXXVrvd
last hour and always at the most basic level required for our success, and anything336Please respect copyright.PENANAKcHZBI3j1n
else that I come to learn must be importuned, but such a thing has never hindered us.336Please respect copyright.PENANAusSdN6rVV1
Duty calls to us, our king bestows upon us the knowledge he deems necessary for us336Please respect copyright.PENANAWSCRz0RgbJ
to succeed, and we always do.336Please respect copyright.PENANA4FH8YF958v
Tonight will be no different. We will succeed regardless of how little we know.336Please respect copyright.PENANAVPdh25MvSO
Always remember that is who we are. Now that’s out of the way...336Please respect copyright.PENANAC5GAvwoiYo
I will now say something I do not usually need to tell you...336Please respect copyright.PENANA3z1x4R2JRs
I want everyone here to be extremely careful tonight and to never, under any336Please respect copyright.PENANAN0Wfw1SSXd
circumstance, underestimate the situation around you or even worse to overestimate336Please respect copyright.PENANAa8hXmQSOTD
yourselves. I have always been reminded that all things should be taken in moderation,336Please respect copyright.PENANAdhYg0a9Ahq
even experience, for too much of it can also harm. These are always important words336Please respect copyright.PENANAgmTqFuuSPx
I think, but it is not my intent to bother your ears with them...336Please respect copyright.PENANAkAWhhKlyq1
I will just leave you with this: I want every single one of you, tonight, to remember336Please respect copyright.PENANAkN30LhNuOB
at all times why we succeed...336Please respect copyright.PENANAsCwqSFANT8
I ask you all to promise me and yourselves this. Indulge me, please.336Please respect copyright.PENANASMzZsQgJlz
Tonight, will be a vastly different mission from any we had previously been charged336Please respect copyright.PENANAoPriyqNAEq
with, in both time and geography.336Please respect copyright.PENANADZ3MBzTmzS
We are headed to a place like no other and never before has so little time been given336Please respect copyright.PENANAmbi3TLsNOH
to us to accomplish a mission. Never had I heard such urgency in his majesty’s voice.336Please respect copyright.PENANABUeRp30Ulf
I was instructed to warn you that this is the most important mission the Hand has336Please respect copyright.PENANASid37EJHw7
ever been charged with - these are words from King Hervies himself as he stared me336Please respect copyright.PENANA7EDtX5YcN0
in the eyes.336Please respect copyright.PENANAiXoaOJMyMn
Be always mindful of this.336Please respect copyright.PENANAF0LX6cwnjD
So, as I am sure you are aware by now, we are heading up there, towards the top of336Please respect copyright.PENANAwHAQoO4zDv
that mountain, into the facility established since the incident that killed this place.336Please respect copyright.PENANA4xRVUVY50L
I was told that we are not to expect any encountered resistance hence we bring only336Please respect copyright.PENANAt8pQ15IV56
our basic weaponry, I was also warned that this mission is not one of search and rescue336Please respect copyright.PENANALU5o6RzOuS
no matter how dire the situation presented to us.336Please respect copyright.PENANAPQ2PQaJVdg
We are not to go out of our way to rescue someone if such a scenario, however336Please respect copyright.PENANAt9iscYbxBj
unlikely, is presented to us. We are to move in fully prepared and expecting the worst336Please respect copyright.PENANAaRmEOIDtuz
possible situation as we always do, for they never call us in otherwise. All we know as of336Please respect copyright.PENANAuiBfVxQ5Gt
now is that all forms of communication between the palace and all those stationed up336Please respect copyright.PENANAeVKuBCNvkl
there were lost after six years of assiduity, cut off deliberately but not by our majesty’s336Please respect copyright.PENANAoeSzASFpL6
command.336Please respect copyright.PENANAfmyje1IUgA
Those people stationed there come up with something, a discovery of great336Please respect copyright.PENANAvm8UPdEaOx
importance, unprecedented. Whether it was one of the many research teams that336Please respect copyright.PENANAdNYRNKAKwm
achieved it, or it was unburied by the digging team, this I do not know. I was not told336Please respect copyright.PENANAQIQexJnVeZ
about this.
