ActionPacked back here covering the full Extinction Storyline. Now for this episode I will be
covering Captain David Archer. A few miscellanious things to note about David Archer is that
he was the top shooter for the SAS, he is a high value kill or capture target, and he
is also the leader of project nightfall. His story begins in Swat Valley, Pakistan while
in a 6 man kill team during a failed operation. Now the extraction was denied and they ended
up being there for 6 weeks hiding in caves. So you can expect this is where some odd things
happened. Strangely enough, Archer saw the Cryptids for the first time there. Once the
team was finally extracted, David Archer was deemed unfit to continue his duties. In his
psychiatric record it states that his head injury sustained in combat altered his sense
of reality. He showed signs of delusional disorder and makes claims that hes had contact
with aliens. In conclusion he was found to be very dangerous and unstable individual.
Especially after raging about someone calling the new found species aliens. After an ODIN
Strike in Colorado exposes the caves a Cryptid colony was living in, David Archer discovers
them yet again. During the Colorado outbreak or as we know it the Point of Contact mission,
the military was fighting against the Cryptids while Archer smuggled Cryptid specimens out
of the quarinten zone. He then brought them to the Nightfall Headquarters in Barrow, Alaska.
The Nightfall program was able to reference the species as far back as 300 million years
ago. At that time Earth was hit by a comet that ignited the oxygen in the atmosphere.
This devastated all living things on the surface for the third time. Now since these Cryptids
were underground and they used hives to not only simulate their metabolism but harvest
geothermal heat they were able to survive. After David Archer heard about Samantha Cross'es
abilities he knew that she could help with the program. Archer recruited her soon after
and allowed her to read Project Nightfall's records. Then he showed her the object called
the Obelisk. Now this was removed from a Colorado cave so that she may translate the writing
on it. Weeks went by and Cross did not seem to get any sort of progress done so David
decides to relieve her for a demonstration. After a Cryptid breeder tears its way out
of an egg sack and kills a horse. Archer proceed to laugh and begin smoking a cigar as if he
was a proud father. Soon after he calls an unknown contact to negotiate a deal. Archer
sends this unknown person photos, research, and prototypes regarding Cryptid data and
weapon information in attempt to persuade this person. Within a 24 hour time period
he gets a call back from the unknown person offering money for his live specimens and
Nightfall research data. Archer responds by stating that he needs a ship and a crew and
not money. He also requested answer by the end of the day as the Nightfall Headquarters
is assumed to be compromised since some info got leaked out. Shortly after that Archer
calls the unknown contact demanding ship and the crew immediately. This was due to someone
sabotaging the hatchery where the Cryptid specimens were kept. The contact believes
that Captain Archer will not be able to deliver what he promised so he abandons the deal.
Archer makes the decision to watch the security camera monitor to see who sabotaged the hatchery.
He finds Doctor Samantha Cross commanding a Cryptid to attack a lab personnel. Archer
responds by saying its about time we had a chat. Archer calls back the contact after
he calms down from the breach. He states that he wants to renegotiate and then proceeds
to send them photos from the Colorado Caverns he explored. He goes on to say they will stand
in the gate of the underworld and doctor Cross is the key to it. Sometime later Samantha
Cross sees an American military team and calls them over. She tells them that shes finished
the Obelisk translation and Archer will never know what it saids because she'll be dead.
While she struggles to pull the trigger of a gun pointed straight at her head, Archer
knocks her out and escapes. In the meantime the American military team was fighting a
Cryptid Breeder. When David Archer arrives at the ship he gives the unknown individual
another call. He tells them that the Colorado photos that they received have a time capsule
or Arc structure within them built to survive an ancient apocalypse. He goes on to tell
about other Arcs and knowing someone who knows how to find them. During the scheme of things
Archer has Samantha put on an operating table. So there you guys have it. The Extinction
