Spectre Page #2

Went to school with

the Home Secretary.

Of course, he did.

This merger's

just the start of it.

In three days,

there's a security conference in Tokyo

to decide the New World Order.

If C gets his way,

he'll have unlimited access

to the combined intelligence

streams of nine countries.

Including us.

Quite.

Well, a lot's happened

while you were away.

A train bombing in Hamburg and an

industrial explosion in Tunisia.

It's not great timing for us.

It's all rather

playing into C's hands.

M, well, let's say

he's feeling the pressure.

Yeah, I've noticed.

Now, this way, 007.

Be careful.

It's a trifle slippery.

Q wasn't exactly feeling

at home in Whitehall,

what with the new merger,

so he set up shop here,

away from prying eyes, as it were.

I hear he's got something

rather special planned for you.

I can hardly wait.

Ah, 007.

- Q.

- Please excuse the mess.

Everything's a little

bit up in the air,

what with the changes and all.

Couple of things to get through.

Shall we get started?

Just relax.

That's it. Lovely.

Now, you may feel a small...

Christ!

...prick.

What is it?

Cutting-edge

nanotechnology.

Smart Blood.

Microchips in your bloodstream.

Allows us to track

your movements in the field.

You see those readouts?

We can monitor your vital signs

from anywhere on the planet.

Well, that sounds marvelous.

Call it a post-Mexico

insurance policy.

By direct order of M.

I completely understand.

Good.

Right. Well, I've just, um,

got one last thing for you

and you can be on your way.

Magnificent, isn't she?

Zero to 60 in

three point two seconds.

Fully bulletproof.

A few little tricks up her sleeve.

It's a shame, really.

She was meant for you,

but she's been

reassigned to 009.

But you can have this.

Does it do anything?

It tells the time.

Might help with your

punctuality issues.

M's idea?

Precisely.

Oh, one word of warning.

The alarm is rather loud.

If you know what I mean.

I think I do.

Oh, yes. That old thing is

taking quite a bit of time.

Mind you, there wasn't

much left to work on.

Only a steering wheel.

I believe I said, "Bring it back in one

piece," not, "Bring back one piece."

Anyway, enjoy

your downtime, 007.

- Q?

- Yes?

Well, now you know exactly

where I am all of the time.

Will you do something for me?

What do you have

in mind, exactly?

Make me disappear.

May I remind you that

I answer directly to M.

I also have a mortgage.

And two cats to feed.

Well, then I suggest

you trust me,

for the sake of the cats.

Well, it's lovely to

see you, 007. Lovely.

Um, now, I meant to tell you,

the Smart Blood program is obviously

still in its developmental phase.
