Ready?Welcome to the Archive of Awesome
Due to its top-secret nature, there has been debate on whether the Archive actually exists.
But.
It does.
How did I happen upon such closely-held secrets?
I’m the sole executive manager. #coolness
And that’s a side gig.
I would work at the Archive full-time, but…well…
A Tale of Woe
It’s embarrassing really.
When I first discovered the Archive (top-secret info, as in invisible agents would probably materialize and whisk me off to a far solar system if I even think of how it happened), I found out it had a strange feature. It only allows entrance twice a month, on the second and fourth Tuesdays, and only for a period of three hours between 1:00 pm and 4:00 pm.
The system came equipped with override software, in case I needed to get in for some reason other than during the appointed time.
Yeah, well…that didn’t work out. I accidentally destroyed the override software.
Clumsy me.
Now, the Archive is forever locked except for a few hours each month.
I’ll share my discoveries from the Archive with you, hopefully on a regular basis. I’ve been able to unearth some interesting and entertaining artifacts, but the Archive is huge and I’ve only glimpsed what it has to offer.
Inherent Risks of Sharing Information from the Archive of Awesome
The Archive contains many items of a sensitive nature. I’m not permitted to speak of these discoveries. Should such knowledge leak out, it may well encourage so many villains to burst from secret and dark hideaways that even the Avengers would be hard-pressed to stop them.
I also have reason to believe that if I try to share any of this classified information, the Archive will erase my memory.
Yowzers!
I’ll stick to the non-world-threatening stuff.
Check out the posts below to see what I’ve discovered so far, and be sure to check back in to get the latest updates.
Assuming something doesn’t go wrong and I end up getting kidnapped or having my memory wiped.
