[h3][colour=efcc00]Archer “Griff” Griffin[/colour][/h3] [hr] Archer's entry into the Director’s office was nothing short of intense. A slow, primal fear clung to his heart; had he been alone and without the need to maintain his composure, he might have fled back to his room. This unsettling sensation was most unwelcome. As the group was ushered in, Archer chose a spot at the back, close to the acquaintance he had spoken to earlier. He listened intently, despite understanding very little of what was being discussed. His heart pounded in his chest, each beat a reminder of the fear that had taken hold of him. This Director, a stern-looking man with an aura of authority, said he was a Noble Arm and Archer’s first thought would have been confusion, had his own Noble Arm, for the very first time, shown some sort of reaction, like a tremble. Thoughts were shooting through his mind,[color=#FFFFFF]W[/color][color=#FEFDFD]a[/color][color=#FEFBFB]s[/color] [color=#FEF7F7]h[/color][color=#FEF5F5]i[/color][color=#FEF3F3]s[/color] [color=#FDEFEF]N[/color][color=#FDEEEE]o[/color][color=#FDECEC]b[/color][color=#FDEAEA]l[/color][color=#FDE8E8]e[/color] [color=#FDE4E4]A[/color][color=#FDE2E2]r[/color][color=#FCE0E0]m[/color] [color=#FCDDDD]d[/color][color=#FCDBDB]o[/color][color=#FCD9D9]i[/color][color=#FCD7D7]n[/color][color=#FCD5D5]g[/color] [color=#FBD1D1]s[/color][color=#FBD0D0]o[/color][color=#FBCECE]m[/color][color=#FBCCCC]e[/color][color=#FBCACA]t[/color][color=#FBC8C8]h[/color][color=#FBC6C6]i[/color][color=#FBC4C4]n[/color][color=#FAC2C2]g[/color][color=#FAC0C0]?[/color] [color=#FABDBD]F[/color][color=#FABBBB]i[/color][color=#FAB9B9]n[/color][color=#FAB7B7]a[/color][color=#F9B5B5]l[/color][color=#F9B3B3]l[/color][color=#F9B1B1]y[/color][color=#F9B0B0]?[/color] [color=#F9ACAC]A[/color][color=#F9AAAA]f[/color][color=#F9A8A8]t[/color][color=#F8A6A6]e[/color][color=#F8A4A4]r[/color] [color=#F8A1A1]a[/color][color=#F89F9F]l[/color][color=#F89D9D]l[/color] [color=#F89999]t[/color][color=#F79797]h[/color][color=#F79595]i[/color][color=#F79393]s[/color] [color=#F79090]t[/color][color=#F78E8E]i[/color][color=#F78C8C]m[/color][color=#F78A8A]e[/color] [color=#F68686]o[/color][color=#F68484]f[/color] [color=#F68181]b[/color][color=#F67F7F]e[/color][color=#F67D7D]i[/color][color=#F57B7B]n[/color][color=#F57979]g[/color] [color=#F57575]n[/color][color=#F57373]o[/color][color=#F57272]t[/color][color=#F57070]h[/color][color=#F56E6E]i[/color][color=#F46C6C]n[/color][color=#F46A6A]g[/color] [color=#F46666]m[/color][color=#F46464]o[/color][color=#F46363]r[/color][color=#F46161]e[/color] [color=#F35D5D]t[/color][color=#F35B5B]h[/color][color=#F35959]a[/color][color=#F35757]n[/color] [color=#F35454]a[/color] [color=#F35050]h[/color][color=#F24E4E]i[/color][color=#F24C4C]n[/color][color=#F24A4A]d[/color][color=#F24848]r[/color][color=#F24646]a[/color][color=#F24444]n[/color][color=#F24343]c[/color][color=#F14141]e[/color] [color=#F13D3D]a[/color][color=#F13B3B]n[/color][color=#F13939]d[/color] [color=#F13535]a[/color][color=#F13434]n[/color] [color=#F03030]e[/color][color=#F02E2E]m[/color][color=#F02C2C]b[/color][color=#F02A2A]a[/color][color=#F02828]r[/color][color=#F02626]r[/color][color=#F02525]a[/color][color=#EF2323]s[/color][color=#EF2121]s[/color][color=#EF1F1F]m[/color][color=#EF1D1D]e[/color][color=#EF1B1B]n[/color][color=#EF1919]t[/color][color=#EF1717]?[/color] Caught in his musings, Archer realized he had missed parts of the discussion. The Director's mention of his 'final revelation' snapped his attention back. Though worried about what he might have missed, Archer soon learned the shocking news: they were at war with numerous countries but it didn't end there. To add to the chaos, [i]another Noble Arm[/i], masquerading as [i]Alan Turing[/i], was attempting to end the world as he knew it. [i]Great.[/i] Archer felt a mix of disbelief and dread. The weight of the world seemed to rest on their shoulders, and the gravity of the situation was almost suffocating. As the Director continued to speak, Archer couldn't help but wonder would his Noble Arm prove to be an asset? or a liability as he always suspected.. He clenched his fists, remembering the slight tremor from his bracers.
