The Arc Net Shield pendant in Griffin's hand.
The Arc Net Shield is an Archanan device held in Griffin's possession. It's sole purpose is to form an impenetrable shield around any spatial object. Griffin willingly gives it to Agent K and Agent J in order to prevent the Boglodite invasion of Manhattan in 2012. The Arc Net Shield is the main reason Boris The Animal is pursuing Griffin so vehemently, as his secondary goal is to prevent the extinction of his own race.
Specifics[]
Arc Net being deployed in 1969.
In its dormant state, the Arc Net Shield resembles a small pendant roughly fitting in the palm of one's hand. Attached is a chain with several ornate symbols. In the center of the Arc Net pendant is a pulsating blue-green core resembling the electron path around an atom. Etched around the surface of the pendant are curved lines traversing the perimeter of the Arc Net Shield.
In order for the Shield to be activated around Earth, the pendant needs to leave the Earth's atmosphere. K devises a plan to use the Apollo 11 launch on July 16th 1969 to deploy the Arc Net Shield into space. After K places the Arc Net Shield on the escape rocket on top of the capsule, the Apollo 11 takes off and the pendant begins to transform after leaving the upper atmosphere, detaching from the rocket and exploding into a web of green light that envelops the Earth.
