Description
History
The old joke running around MI5 was that the Director-General saw NCIS and decided they needed their own Abbie, only male, because of traditional public-school snobbishness. Therefore, they got Archie, D Branch hacker, lab techie, and analyst, an energetic pot of pep with a thirst for knowledge. Until Archie wasn't there any more. Archie blames idiot cutbacks courtesy of Tories madly obsessed with privatization (and probably bribed to boot).
But in truth, he was getting close to something he shouldn't have, and an excuse was made to drop him. Or perhaps Archie was simply getting bored, and his supervisors wanted to head things off before a terror attack went off because Archie didn't do his due diligence on an analysis. Maybe it was a forth thing. Or maybe it was budget cutbacks that never seem to involve the salaries of the bureaucrats and politicians involved after all.
Who knows? Archie got contacted by [insert here] about the delicious signs of a mysterious conspiracy, and asked if he would help look into it. Score!
