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).

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!
