Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_3'); })The Atrocity Archive is the first novel in The Laundry Files by Charles Stross. The Atrocity Archives (note the plural) is a book which bundles the aforementioned novel with the Laundry short story, "The Concrete Jungle".Bob Howard is an IT guy who stumbled across Secrets Man Is Not Yet Ready To Know. (Most such secrets turn out to involve advanced mathematics.) As a result, Bob has been recruited, willy-nilly, into the Laundry, a top-secret agency which protects the UK from occult threats. This is not as exciting as it might sound. Despite their unusual remit, the Laundry is still a government agency; bureaucratic, hide-bound, and prone to management fads. And Bob is just a mildly frustrated guy who fixes the computers. Until one day, during a routine training session which suddenly goes horribly wrong, Bob's quick thinking manages to save the lives of several fellow Laundry employees. Now Bob's long-standing application for field work has been reconsidered.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_2'); })As his first real field assignment, Bob is sent to the US to meet a Professor Dominque ("Mo") O'Brian, whose philosophical studies may have been heading down a dangerous path. When Mo is kidnapped by crazies who want to sacrifice her to open a portal to another dimension, though, Bob's job suddenly gets a lot harder. The next thing Bob knows, he's up to his neck in demons, and a long-delayed Nazi plot to unleash an unspeakable evil on the world. | |

You Can't Make an Omelette... | |
| The Atrocity Archive / int_13727d3e | comment |
You Can't Make an Omelette...: Taken literally when Bob's flatmates Pinky and Brain try to prove that you can in fact do it, provided you inject the egg with a ferrous solution then put it in a rotating magnetic field. It doesn't quite work, but it proves a Chekhov's Lecture, eventually leading Bob to the solution to how to disarm a tactical nuke. | |

Sophisticated as Hell | |
| The Atrocity Archive / int_2d4a6d8c | comment |
Sophisticated as Hell: The story interspersed with various classified reports and letters detailing the Medusa Effect and its history; one report in particular talks about how the government found a way to install it into security cameras, effectively placing a remotely-activated Death Ray onto every street corner. The report is clinical and technical; its professional tone is somewhat ruined, however, by the fact that it closes on the statement: "We remain convinced that this is the best defensive posture to adopt in order to minimize casualties when the Great Old Ones return from beyond the stars to eat our brains." | |

The Stars Are Going Out: There's an Alternate Universe where most of the stars are gone because a monster has eaten all the heat from the universe and without the energy to make it expand, the universe has been collapsing in on itself. When the crew enters the universe, the collapse has sped up to be faster than the speed of light, and somewhere in the quickly shrinking universe lurks an Ice Giant looking for a way out... | |

Attack Backfire | |
| The Atrocity Archive / int_3069d72a | comment |
Attack Backfire: Bob and the OCCULUS team following the threat through to a frozen world where the Nazis summoned a Great Old One to win WWII... and it didn't end well for them. The plan is to retrieve the hostage, then leave a nuke to blow the site, and the threat, sky high. At least, until Bob realizes that the threat feeds off of energy and entropy, meaning blowing up a nuke would give it enough strength to force its way through to our world. | |

Batman Gambit | |
| The Atrocity Archive / int_38d02d44 | comment |
Batman Gambit: The Jotun Infovore is nasty and manipulative. It targeted Mo to get the Laundry on its tail, then abducted her into its reality, while dropping hints that the Nazis were behind the whole thing. This forces the Laundry to pursue it in force with a nuclear weapon just to be on the safe side. That's exactly what it wants: a burst of powerful, concentrated energy like a hydrogen bomb is what it needs to open a big enough gate to our reality so it can feed on all that delicious energy in our universe. | |

Forced Out of the Closet | |
| The Atrocity Archive / int_3b581a6 | comment |
Forced Out of the Closet: Discussed Truth in Television example. Back in the day in the UK it was illegal to be gay, which meant gays working in the British intelligence community (including the Laundry) were vulnerable to blackmail (i.e. "work for me or I'll blow the whistle on you"). Nowadays the Laundry just requires you to be openly gay, the idea being that you can't be blackmailed if you aren't hiding anything. Hence Bob's Camp Gay flatmate Pinky drags his Straight Gay partner Brains out to Gay Pride once a year to maintain their security clearances. | |

Or Are You Just Happy to See Me? | |
| The Atrocity Archive / int_3eecf8f | comment |
Or Are You Just Happy to See Me?: a variant on the phrase is used as a joking bit of spy speak when Bob needs to identify himself to the OCCULUS team he just called in. To be fair, "is that a gun in your hand or are you just here to have a wank?" is not a phrase most people would utter when staring down the snout of a carbine. | |

Latex Space Suit | |
| The Atrocity Archive / int_527fbbe6 | comment |
Latex Space Suit: Mesh spacesuits are used by the specialist SAS team. The point is made that the suit compresses you by its own elasticity, which generally ensures that any gas in your body outside of your lungs is squeezed out of the nearest orifice. When they see the SAS team that crosses over into Another Dimension wearing these, the protagonist realises they've made such journeys before. | |

| The Atrocity Archive / int_72856b70 | comment |
Godzilla Threshold: The story shows that SCORPION STARE is supposed to be fed over every CCTV camera in Britain for use as a remote controlled defence grid called MAGINOT BLUE STARS, regardless of the potential body count when CASE NIGHTMARE GREEN comes about. It gets an image recognition upgrade in The Nightmare Stacks, designed to reduce civilian casualties. And when the Threshold is crossed and the system is activated, it fails. Disastrously. | |

Stupid Jetpack Hitler | |
| The Atrocity Archive / int_82b48dc | comment |
Stupid Jetpack Hitler: This is crossed with Ghostapo since "magic" is really just applied higher mathematics and physics. Part of the reason for the Holocaust was to open a gateway to an alternate universe and bring an Eldritch Abomination (an Infovore) through to destroy their enemies. Part of the action of the story takes place in an Alternate Timeline where the Nazis succeeded, then were destroyed by their own creation. After World War II, the major powers signed an occult arms-control treaty since none of the parties involved ever wanted to see mass murder used as a strategic weapon again. | |

Eldritch Abomination: The Infovore, the only survivor of a reality where the Nazis actually managed to pull it off.

Just sixty years later, that universe is nearing entropic heat death, and the Infovore wants out... | |

Apocalypse How | |
| The Atrocity Archive / int_91e894b4 | comment |
Apocalypse How/Class X4: The climax is set on an alternate world where the top-secret Nazi necromancy project used the souls of those murdered in the Holocaust to summon an Infovore, a creature living in a universe that succumbed to Entropic Heat Death aeons ago, and use it as a weapon against the Allies, wiping out all life on Earth except for the Nazis. Unfortunately for them, the Nazis didn't realize that they weren't in control of the Infovore until it was much, much too late — and after it ate the Nazis as well, it began consuming all the energy of the rest of the universe, causing it to undergo Heat Death as well. Eventually, it began sucking energy directly from the Space-Time Continuum, causing the universe to begin to collapse. Now it wants to escape to our universe. | |

Eldritch Location: A portal to another universe is opened in which Heinrich Himmler and the Ahnenerbe SS managed to make a deal (via mass human sacrifices, natch) with Eldritch Abominations (the Ice Giants) to win WWII. Guess what happened next in that universe. While you can admire Hitler's portrait chiseled onto the moon's surface by giant hands, it just so happens that alter-earth is now frozen to near absolute zero while the universe itself has redshifted into collapse mode and has just a few hours left to go. And something wants to get back through the portal to our side. This is bad! | |

Space Is Cold: Stross did his research. Despite the ambient temperature on the alternate Earth being roughly 40 Kelvin, the characters note that since there's no air, they can't lose heat by convection, so heat exhaustion is a potential danger. | |

Deus ex Nukina: Played straight, more or less. A warhead is carried through a portal by a special ops team into a parallel universe to take out an Eldritch Abomination. Turns out that this was the endgame of a big Gambit Roulette by said abomination to provide it with enough energy to open a big portal to Earth and come through to eat our universe. One man has to stay behind to cause a faulty detonation to stop an actual nuclear reaction, but gets severely irradiated in the process by the critical plutonium assembly. | |

Hoist by His Own Petard: The book has as its villains the remnants of an alternate universe's Third Reich. They managed to turn the Holocaust into a massive necromantic working, attracting the attention of a Great Old One they got to fight on their side. Thing is, after it destroyed the Allies, it proceeded to drain everything from the universe, to the point that said universe is facing imminent heat death only 60 years later and the Great Old One itself is trying to escape ahead of the impending collapse of reality, making this a double case when the Laundry agents realize what's happening and trap it in the dying reality. | |

Pride Parade: Bob explains to Mo that back in the day when it was against secret service policy to be homosexual because they viewed you as a security risknote true facts, homosexuals actually ended up as one because they were vulnerable to blackmail ("do this for me or I tell your boss and you're fired"). The solution ended up being to ensure that if an employee was gay, he was openly gay, since you can't be blackmailed if you're not hiding anything. Hence, once a year Camp Gay Pinky drags Straight Gay Brains out to Gay Pride to maintain the latter's security clearance. | |
