Dr. Archer

**Doctor Falco Archer** (July 30, 2357 - November 2, 2438) was one of the lead scientists of **Project TITAN**, and the guardian of Pollux during his teenage years.

## Appearance

Falco was middle-aged, with a balding head and a thick mustache. He was portly, and wore circular glasses.

## Project TITAN

As one of the lead scientists, his job was to help engineer the test subjects' DNA to the desired outcomes and oversee their development. After the 3 tests were deemed a success, their first and only trial subject began production. Falco was the overseer for the genetic modification, making sure that each desired trait was correct. He was able to determine every detail of their trail subject down to how long his fingers could be. During these modoficcations, Falco requested that the trials pheramones be altered to naturally producce a smeel of Petrichor, it was Falco's favourite smell and he wantted this subject to be "Perfect down to the smell of his sweat" in his own words.

Falco remained an overseer for the entierty of Pollux's trial run, 18 years. He would usually comfort the boy as a child during his training sessions and ask that his teachers give him breaks and not to push him to far. Over time, Falco saw Pollux somewhat as a son. But his kept this feeling to himself, as the project required that no one get too attached. After all, the project was about creating the perfect soldier.

During Pollux's early years, he grew increasingly agitated from his isolation. Falco suggested he be allowed to leave the facility once a month to ease his stress. Once this was agreed upon, Falco accompanied Pollux, posing as his father, to the city of New Alexandria monthly.

As a teenager, Pollux was given a bi-monthly leave after killing five marines during a training exercise. He was accocmpanied by Dr. Archer. Archer secretly organized a burner phone for Pollux so that he could explore the city by himself and call him once it was time to head back. Falco and Pollux grew increaingly close, and Pollux admitted that he saw Falco as somewhat of a 'Cool Uncle'.

## Second Phase

When Pollux was sent off to serve the military, Project TITAN was deemed a success with its first trial run, and the project was greenlit to start with a second phase; Production of multiple tests subjects with the same augments as Pollux, but this time they were to be grown as full adults over the course of a year and fed information through their brains as they were growing. Meaning that each subject would be ready to fight the second they were released from their gestation pods, with a lifetimes' worth of knowledge.

Falco was glad about the second phase, as it meant he couldn't get attached like he did with Pollux. He was made project lead for phase two, and started to get to work immediatly

When Pollux returned to Facility TC1 after a year of service, he was horrified to learn what had transpired. He had grown resentful at his own creation and was disgusted to learn that the project was going to produce more soldiers like him. And even worse, Archer was leading it. Pollux decided to destroy the facility, all evidence of what transpired there, any way of salvaging work, and killed every personnel staff there. Pollux left Archer initially, as he was too emotional over what he saw.

Falco asked Pollux to calm down, and tried to argue that what he was doing was a good thing. Pollux asked if he thought what he went through was really the right thing, and Falco responded that he was the reason Pollux was even allowed out in the first place. Pollux asked again, if what he went through was the right thing, Falco replied yes. It was for scientific research. Pollux then picked up Falco and hugged him, wishing that they could've run off and been a real family. Pollux then squeezed Falco until he started to suffocate. Falco tried to push Pollux off him, but it was impossible. Falco's last words before dying were "Pollux, son. Please..."
