2|1|0|||1||RE%3A The Griffin mk I|Gryphon||00:11:35|01/15/2013|It should be noted that the Griffon Mk IX might not be the first time the good people at Sunrise Motorworks have drawn on the styling of a classic Earth car of the 20th century for the outer shell of one of the Griffon line.  That%27s simply not knowable for sure in 2410.%0D%0A%0D%0AThe reason this is unknowable is because the Griffon Mk VIII never appeared. It was planned for the WDF%27s 300th anniversary celebration%2C which would have been held in 2292%2C but of course the Fun Stopped several years before that and suddenly it was not particularly prudent for a major Salusian automobile manufacturer to be commemorating the Wedge Defense Force%2C much less building special cars bearing the name of its most roundly despised founder.  All that had reached the public%27s ear about the Mk VIII before Sonset were vague rumors and a few numbers.%0D%0A%0D%0ARumors persist in certain circles that the Mk VIII prototype was actually completed in secret by certain diehards within Sunrise%27s black-ops division%2C the Special Projects Group%2C but the company always denied it%2C and as of the recording of %5Bi%5DRoad Film %28With Fighting%29%5B%2Fi%5D%2C no trace of such a machine had ever been found.  What it would%27ve looked like was a closely guarded secret - it was meant to be a surprise for the car%27s namesake at its unveiling%2C as were its predecessors - and after 2288%2C nothing was ever heard of it again.%0D%0A%0D%0APrevious Griffons varied widely in their format and style%2C though.  Just look at the ones we know about from previous stories%3A the Mk I was a psycho supercar%2C the Mk II a luxury ultracoup%26eacute%3B%2C and the Mk IV a high-precision autoduelist%27s weapon %28the Stig has one in %5Bi%5DThe Sandero Affair%5B%2Fi%5D%29.  Given that precedent%2C the Mk VIII might%27ve been almost %5Bi%5Danything%5B%2Fi%5D.  Members of the sardonically named Sunrise Griffon Non-Owners%27 Club do love to speculate about it%2C even in the 2400s - all the more so since the Mk IX%27s number acknowledges%2C for the first time since 2288%2C that it had ever existed... %0D%0A%0D%0A--G.%0D%0A-%3E%3C-%0D%0ABenjamin D.
