Aoife sped up her chopper in frustration. It can't be true! She argued with herself. All the research! All the information! All the data! All the knowledge! Not again! She twisted the clutch and up-shifted yet again, the Yamaha Virago growling fiercely beneath her. Those God Damn penny counting bureaucrats! What did they know about real knowledge? True mystery and the rush to follow the thread to unravel it?!? Nothing! Power! They thought they had power! Ha! If they new the things she'd uncovered they'd shrivel up and deflate like a loose balloon.

Traffic was nonexistent to where she was heading. No one knew where she was heading. Because to everybody, where she was heading didn't exist. Oh, but it did! And it was marvelous. Magnificent! And they wanted to destroy it. Destroy it! No, it can't be true! She chastised herself again. I'll talk with Dr Pierce and he'll sort this misunderstanding out. Because that's what this is. A huge misunderstanding. She'd finally found a place where she belonged. Where she wasn't a wack job scientist or pseudo-scientist. There she was understood. She wasn't ridiculed for her outlandish theories, because they were supported by the information contained within the facility. She couldn't allow it to be destroyed. She wouldn't! She up-shifted to the final gear and the chopper roared with raw power. She all but flew the last few kilometers to the secret location of the Minerva Archive facilities. The bike broke it's momentum in an angry ark, finally quieting down as it's rider turned off the motor and kicked the stand down, dismounting.

Aoife removed her helmet and rushed towards the building. She suffered through all the security checks and scans and finally inside the belly of the beast she sprinted through the corridors of the Archive like a mad woman. Corridor after corridor she searched for her quarry. Finally she spotted the man she was looking for and rushed him from behind.

"Dr Pierce... Dr Pierce!" She shouted, grabbing the older man by the shoulder and twisted him towards her. "Tell me it's not true!" She demanded. "Tell me it's just a silly threat from a pencil pusher somewhere." She looked desperate now. "Tell me they are not closing the Minerva Archive down." She whispered almost out of breath and fuel.

@PolybiusSo what's the idea... besides producing archive entries... Should we post in the IC or...?

Epic City: Starburst

@AtomicNut I'll take that I was about to propose a weapon with one of those ridiculously spelt Irish names

Epic City: Starburst

@AtomicNut Though I am tempted to add another female, because the ones you've listed don't seem to be fairing too well

Humanity's Last Army

NPC Abraham von Grünigen

Name: Abraham von Grünigen

Age: 48

Race: Human

Sex: Male

Character Trait: Mad Scientist

Character Personality: Abe is one screw loose away from being completely crazy. He is focused solely and entirely on recapturing humanity's pre-fall scientific achievements and technology. To that end he is prepared to do anything, be anything, become anything in order to achieve his goal. A genius in his own right he is difficult to handle. He thinks other people beneath him and will interact with them only if they serve him a specific purpose. His obsession with reacquiring the pre-fall tech and his preparedness to do anything to achieve that goal make him a gun powder keg ready to explode in any moment. He can be a quiet and withdrawn recluse in one moment or an all high and mighty genius scientist postulating theories in the next.

Character Background: Abe was born in one of the underwater cities of Europa, floating beneath its eternal ice crust. He grew up in a family of scientists generations back. So naturally there were often tails of the magnificence of humanity's pre-fall achievements in science and technology. But the tails always ended with the inevitable loss of all of it. The wondrous technology, the marvelous science. Everything! And humanity had lost it all and was now forced to live in squalor, stuffed back in it's own backwater solar system. Full of useless and unimaginative old human tech.

His parents quickly realized their son's intellect was at genius level and took steps to provide him with the best possible education. At the fragile age of fifteen Abe had a PhD in Quantum Physics and Quantum Engineering. And those were just the once he officially bother to achieve. His genius mind held knowledge about numerous other disciplines. Astrophysics, Engineering, Quantum Mechanics, Biology, Xenobiology, Chemistry to name just a few.

He decided early on to cooperate with the army, reasoning that through providing his mammoth brain to their cause, his goal of recapturing the pre-fall science and tech will be faster achieved via the extermination of the pest that the Bulwark were. Over the years he's helped the war effort with improvements in weaponry, prosthetics, network system security and hack-proofing and whatever else you might think of. He's made himself more or less indispensable so that the military will look away from some of his less humanitarian experiments and endeavors in pursuit of his goal.

He is also the thorn in the Supreme Leader Malveil's but, constantly pestering him for information. Demanding that he be made aware of any and all pre-fall knowledge. Even going so far as to use humanity's war efforts against the Bulwark as leverage, stating that by not disclosing this information Malveil is harming humanity's chances of winning the war. Not that he cares one iota about that. His one and only concern is, of course, to recapture that lost scientific magnificence.

Curio: Was the contractor for the tech, Mo and her dad were retrieving when they got ambushed.
