Chapter Five112Please respect copyright.PENANAPD2H3YRL3t
“Briefing”
Every one of us here has a privileged position, as we all know; we are fortunate112Please respect copyright.PENANAzxg2BBIaVX
to serve our nation and our ruler to unparalleled levels, we are chosen and112Please respect copyright.PENANAfHAwVvgEd3
with our actions, we display the very best our kingdom has to offer. We are112Please respect copyright.PENANA1xQCvbTiX3
its strength and its cunning. We undertake what very few can even consider, and we112Please respect copyright.PENANANzoFdXGNWw
always succeed.112Please respect copyright.PENANAOcD3YpBoEb
That is what we do, who we are.112Please respect copyright.PENANAsy3WfBkBmc
We are both the first arrow and the rumoured dagger. We are fortunate for we are112Please respect copyright.PENANAWqZBV3yJWM
thus allowed to see and know more than most ever will, but we are still far from seeing112Please respect copyright.PENANAk8AiCnWnNo
and knowing everything, of hearing all the secrets. We are not told of certain things112Please respect copyright.PENANA9Gmaoq0tuP
unless urgency for our services demands it and so sometimes, most the times, all the112Please respect copyright.PENANA66ZAc96uGT
privileged information is shared with us forcibly.Usually and unfortunately at the very112Please respect copyright.PENANAIfuvwAKBQl
last hour and always at the most basic level required for our success, and anything112Please respect copyright.PENANAzZ8V0PRCt0
else that I come to learn must be importuned, but such a thing has never hindered us.112Please respect copyright.PENANAmMiKMJGPhe
Duty calls to us, our king bestows upon us the knowledge he deems necessary for us112Please respect copyright.PENANAHQ6Br4amn5
to succeed, and we always do.112Please respect copyright.PENANAKxU200WFUf
Tonight will be no different. We will succeed regardless of how little we know.112Please respect copyright.PENANAZVxz4BvXnL
Always remember that is who we are. Now that’s out of the way...112Please respect copyright.PENANAvA3pChiOWt
I will now say something I do not usually need to tell you...112Please respect copyright.PENANAHMBmkyd3Qh
I want everyone here to be extremely careful tonight and to never, under any112Please respect copyright.PENANAm4XFUjerRm
circumstance, underestimate the situation around you or even worse to overestimate112Please respect copyright.PENANAATn3d9iHr5
yourselves. I have always been reminded that all things should be taken in moderation,112Please respect copyright.PENANAJppboi1XR3
even experience, for too much of it can also harm. These are always important words112Please respect copyright.PENANATUqRBCZGUQ
I think, but it is not my intent to bother your ears with them...112Please respect copyright.PENANAkacMng6r8t
I will just leave you with this: I want every single one of you, tonight, to remember112Please respect copyright.PENANAlYhgeGFj9D
at all times why we succeed...112Please respect copyright.PENANAxY7XAbnsQu
I ask you all to promise me and yourselves this. Indulge me, please.112Please respect copyright.PENANAGhdHa1FIcv
Tonight, will be a vastly different mission from any we had previously been charged112Please respect copyright.PENANAIWGuZ6MVXK
with, in both time and geography.112Please respect copyright.PENANAUkyR5XJMb3
We are headed to a place like no other and never before has so little time been given112Please respect copyright.PENANAoQAfdVUvuO
to us to accomplish a mission. Never had I heard such urgency in his majesty’s voice.112Please respect copyright.PENANAw3D5yKDmYR
I was instructed to warn you that this is the most important mission the Hand has112Please respect copyright.PENANAsgUc9SlCNd
ever been charged with - these are words from King Hervies himself as he stared me112Please respect copyright.PENANAnkVvSFvHNm
in the eyes.112Please respect copyright.PENANAZiegwmsla1
Be always mindful of this.112Please respect copyright.PENANA9iQPi1BrPt
So, as I am sure you are aware by now, we are heading up there, towards the top of112Please respect copyright.PENANANTmhWe3zrJ
that mountain, into the facility established since the incident that killed this place.112Please respect copyright.PENANAAJnOrCBTEB
I was told that we are not to expect any encountered resistance hence we bring only112Please respect copyright.PENANACO6UcIiu79
our basic weaponry, I was also warned that this mission is not one of search and rescue112Please respect copyright.PENANA3ycVRrulis
no matter how dire the situation presented to us.112Please respect copyright.PENANARHFQtlED27
We are not to go out of our way to rescue someone if such a scenario, however112Please respect copyright.PENANA9WOfGIjdhB
unlikely, is presented to us. We are to move in fully prepared and expecting the worst112Please respect copyright.PENANAKMBwqpOKom
possible situation as we always do, for they never call us in otherwise. All we know as of112Please respect copyright.PENANAJpRJyRT4id
now is that all forms of communication between the palace and all those stationed up112Please respect copyright.PENANAx1WUt0erqX
there were lost after six years of assiduity, cut off deliberately but not by our majesty’s112Please respect copyright.PENANAp38G6zxdtR
command.112Please respect copyright.PENANAScZvMggmJV
Those people stationed there come up with something, a discovery of great112Please respect copyright.PENANA4TslXIAX4C
importance, unprecedented. Whether it was one of the many research teams that112Please respect copyright.PENANAFY5sNx0Hp7
achieved it, or it was unburied by the digging team, this I do not know. I was not told112Please respect copyright.PENANAKe2tWgs3uv
about this.
