ARMOR

* Agency
* ARMOR

The Agency for Restoring & Maintaining Order & Reality, or **the Agency**, is an international investigative organization first introduced during Cosmic Collisions. The Agency was introduced as the location and employer of former lead agent BBB when she was tasked with investigating the thefts committed during Dinner Diplomacy. ARMOR would later return in subsequent conflicts, including: attempting to secure the Eternal Prison Bottle during Catastrophic Convergence, watching Nigel Necrozma's quest for the Eternal Bulb during Campground Calamity, and thwarting the actions of Calais the Calyrex by restoring order to the timeline continuity during events of Contorted Chronicles.

## CC1 - Operation Diplomacy

During Cosmic Collisions, ARMOR's lead detective, BBB, was brought to the Royal Palace after Regigigas noticed a grand robbery by multiple criminal gangs of the region. Operation Diplomacy sought to reunite the stolen items with their owners, including the Adamant Orb, the Griseous Orb, the Lustrous Orb, the Lunar Wing, the Pixie Plate, and the Iron Plate. BBB began an investigation, and with the help of war participants, was able to solve which criminal gangs stole what item, when, and how they managed to do it. The investigation would later unearth the discovery that the robbery was a failed coup attempt perpetuated by Darkrai as a cover to steal the much coveted Lunar Wing, a source of his nemesis's power.

## CC2 - Operation Relic & Operation NSC

    In the preamble to the conflict that would arise in the Kalos region, BBB, working alongside her friend Ozzy Zoroark, sought to investigate four of the most notorious crime organizations and their operations on behalf of ARMOR. Operation Relic secured tips from various intelligence sources from across different regions suggesting that these activities were in pursuit of a strong and powerful relic, Hoopa's Eternal Prison Bottle. As ARMOR got close to uncovering the truth of these underground operations, BBB was captured and imprisoned in a Rooks of Rocket headquarters basement. Unfortunately, although she was able to exfil with the assistance of fellow agents, her investigation was unable to stop this eternal element from being obtained and utilized by nefarious forces, leading to the events of Catastrophic Convergence.

During the events of Catastrophic Convergence, the Agency played a mostly auxiliary role in helping to mitigate the destruction caused by Hoopa. In the immediate aftermath of the conflict, following Hoopa's confinement inside the new Aether Eternal Prison Bottle, ARMOR was entrusted by Arceus with the task of securement and permanent maintenance of the bottle under the strict provision that the bottle was never opened again. The securement protocol has been designated Operation New Safe Containment.

## CC3 - Operation S'mores

After tips from local Alolan islanders alerted ARMOR to the activities of Nigel Necrozma and his real estate agency Skyburn Estates, several senior ARMOR personnel were deployed to the Alolan island to set up a campground as a front to investigate these suspicious transactions under the guise of Operation S'mores. Tasked with leading this operation was BBB, and agents assisting her in this undertaking included new acquired ARMOR intelligence assets Oliver Oranguru and Maurice Muk. BBB adopted the disguise of a campground director at a local Campground Calamity, staffing the remainder of the island campground employees with ARMOR operatives. During the course of this investigation, BBB was able to uncover that Necrozma was planning to develop a luxury condominium complex for the wealthy elite, and to incentivize investors, he would attempt to block out the sun from the remainder of the island region to drive up prices. BBB also uncovered that he had contracted the Veilstone Mining Co. to excavate large areas of protected land around the island in search of precious minerals. Further intelligence would unearth that Necrozma was mining the island in search of rare Necrozmium-Z crystals and was seeking the assistance of a dark and malevolent force, Darkrai, to help his chances at success. This crystals were important to Necrozma's ultimate plan as they would be used to power an ancient artefact located deep in the Lush Jungle. After an asset recovery mission proved to be a failure, it was uncovered that this artefact was none other than an eternal element known as the Eternal Bulb, the wielder of which was fabled to garner control over the balance of light and darkness.

While BBB and ARMOR were not capable of thwarting either Necrozma or Darkrai, they were stopped by a sacrifice made by Celebi, and through these actions Darkrai was imprisoned within the Eternal Darkness Bulb. While ARMOR was able to recover this artefact, it was returned to Arceus's High Court, as it was deemed far too dangerous to potentially fall into mortal hands.

## CC4 - Operation History & Operation Ourstory

After reports of a Fairy-type army attacking the city of Hammerlocke under extremely suspicious circumstances, ARMOR deployed a special task force to investigate. While Operation History would be lead by Director BBB, the mission would prove to be only possible utilizing the knowledge of newly acquired ARMOR intelligence assets, Xan, a seer tasked with the responsibilities left behind by Celebi's sacrifice. Utilizing a book given to him by Celebi, Xan and ARMOR's science division were able to construction a machine capable of generating a stabilized time-door, later referred to by the codename: "Green Door". A "Green Door" was a magically enchanted door allowing the special task force to travel back in time 1000 years into the past. Operation History would uncover that a nearly identical conflict was occurring, with the Fellowship of Fae being blamed for an attack on Dragon, Normal, and Fighting kingdoms. Intelligence would reveal that the Fellowship of the Fae had been provoked to attack by the actions of Pierre Pangoro, the leader of the Dreamers of Darkness. This conflict would eventually lead to full blown war between the Fairy kingdom and anyone who stood in its path. This resulted in the Allies of Alloy, the normally neutral Steel Kingdom, to modify and fire an Ultimate Weapon in hopes of ending the war through mutual devastation. Observational accounts dictate that Xerneas would go on to utilize its life, bringing magic to restore those who had perished at the cost of 1000 years of hibernation as a tree for Xerneas.

Armed with this knowledge, the ARMOR special task force returned to the present to commence Operation Ourstory. This required locating and activating Xerneas, who remained still long dormant in Ballonlea. ARMOR personnel were able to overcome Grey Grimmsnarl and his army, and were able to subdue Calais Calyrex, the powerful time mage behind the near-identical conflicts, but not without a significant loss of life in the process. Amongst the casualties was Agency Director Bidoof. Unfortunately due to the nature of the operation, Xerneas magic was required to revive Celebi to put an end to the time loop, solidifying BBB's death.

    Following the death of Beatrice Burnadette Bidoof, Oliver Oranguru was appointed to the position of Director of all ARMOR operations.

## CC5 - Operation Lodestone, Operation Lazuli & Operation Unakite

During his early tenure, Director Oranguru was alerted by the High Court of Arceus that three extraterrestrial rocks that bore otherworldly energy signatures had entered the atmosphere. After ascertaining the trajectory of where these stones would make contact in the Sinnoh region, Director Oranguru appointed task forces to three asset recovery based missions appropriately dubbed Operations Lodestone, Lazuli and Unakite.

Operation Lodestone focused on the acquisition of a stone that had crashed through several floors of the Oreburgh Mines after its descent. The Lodestone, as it was codenamed by ARMOR, was giving out heavily magnetic energy bursts and affecting localized electronic equipment. Agents assigned to this operation would have to practice stealth for infiltration of the mines as well as containment and extraction of the lodestone. The agent in command of this mission was Agent 82.

Operation Lazuli foused on the acquisition of a stone that had crashed south of Snowpoint City, in a particularly hard to reach area of Mt. Coronet referred to as the Frozen Path. The Lazuli Boulder, as it was referred to by local miners, was emitting energy burst that seeming caused large temperature fluctuations in the surrounding region. Agents assigned to this operation had practice extreme caution for their own safety as well as environmental safety in their attempts at containment and extraction of the lazuli boulder. The agent in command of this mission was Agent 98.

Operation Unakite focused on the acquisition of a stone that had crashed on a northern beach of Sunyshore Harbor. The Unakite Rock, as the local coast guards referred to it, was emitting seismic energy bursts that were causing shifting sand-like conditions on the beach. Agents assigned to this operation had to practice extreme caution for both their own safety as well as the safety of those on the beach to not accidentally trigger an earthquake in their attempts at containment and extraction of the unakite rock. The agent in command of this mission was Agent 82.
