Courier

Mission Overview

Message from M, Head of MI-6:

Terrible news, 007. An MI-6 agent has been murdered and a classified report from the Russian Atomic Energy Department was taken from his body.

An old friend, Sir Robert King, accidentally purchased this stolen document, believing it to contain information about terrorists.

In the mean time, a Swiss banker named Lachaise, a middle-man in this affair, has offered to return Sir Robert's money.

I want you to go to him, discover who killed our agent, and collect the money.

Mission Location & Personnel

Message from Robinson, Chief of Staff:

Lachaise works for the Banque Suisse de L'Industrie in Bilbao, Spain. It's a private industrial bank, one of a number we've had our eye on for sometime. We suspect Lachaise has been involved in a number of deals with terrorists and other international criminals.

Lachaise won't want to talk to you, and I'm sure he'll have some bodyguards. Q Branch has come up with some equipment to give you a helping hand there.

You won't be able to carry weaponry into the bank yourself, so we've arranged for your equipment to be inserted into a safety deposit box. You'll also find an appointment card in there - you'll need it to see Lachaise.

Mission Equipment

Message from R, Q Branch:

Now pay attention, 007. This may look like your standare issue P2K pistol: in fact its a small but highly powerful stun grenade. The trigger is a hidden switch in the frame of these completely innocent-looking spectacles. Simply press here, and make sure you've got your eyes shut - anyone caught in the blast is going to be blind and deaf for a good few seconds. This should give you the edge in any nastiness.

You won't be able to carry a gun into this place - it's a bank after all. Still, we've got an updated version of one of my favourites. This Q-branch wristwatch is fitted with a multi-shot dart gun, activated by nerve impuses from the wrist muscles. The tranquiliser darts will drop a fully-grown man on the spot, but he'll wake up safe and sound a few minutes later.

Oh, and there are the other usual functions, too, of course - cutting laser, plus a long range wireless stunner I've been experimenting with.

Try not to lose this one, all right?


King's Ransom

Mission Overview

Message from M, Head of MI-6:

I can't believe that anyone would have the nerve to actually attack MI-6. I suspect it has something to do with Sir Robert King.

I know him well - we read law at Oxford together and I helped him years ago when his daughter Elektra was kidnapped by the terrorist Renard.

Still, all that's in the past. Sir Robert thought that the report he paid for would identify the terrorists who've attacked his new oil pipeline in Kazakhstan. Then he discovered it was actually about the nuclear arsenals in the former Soviet Republics, so he turned it over to me.

Maybe the attack is coincidental with his visit, but I want you to find him nonetheless and make sure he is safe.

Mission Location & Personnel

Message from Robinson, Chief of Staff:

Well, you should know your way around MI-6 headquarters of all places, but you can always reference the maps on the wall.

M's security is our top priority, but we also need to protect the rest of the staff too.

Mission Equipment

Message from R, Q Branch:

I know you always carry your P2K with you Bond, but this looks like a full-scale assault. If I were you I'd get my hands on something a little more powerful, or you could be in trouble.

MI-6 security will back you up, but you'll need to be careful.
