[Private to Vesper]

Congratulations. [But lbr he's mentioned that before now. Which means he's got something else on his mind.] Where are you?

[Public]

[And a little later, once he's realized just what the Admiral's announcement means, he clicks back on publicly. He's plenty wary now, because the Admiral is just flat out not to be trusted, but he's never been one to run from something new.]

Assuming I'm not just speaking to the Barge...[There's a little twitch in his lip; he's very, very tempted to just say, 007 reporting for duty, because he thinks he's very, very funny. But given he has no idea who's listening, he manages to restrain himself.

Besides, his name is just as good.]

This is Bond, James Bond. If there's anyone from my world listening, speak up.

[He certainly feels like the butt of a joke at this point, but at least it's been interesting.]

What year is it?

wow i fail today ;;

[deskjob]

2012.

[ does she need to be worried? ]

PSH never <333

[lastrat]

2006, last I checked. [He's almost bored with this by now, though it's mostly a cover. He's run into this on the Barge before, but never on a personal level.]

Call it early introductions.

LIES T_T

[deskjob]

So you don't know me. [ well. it's not as though he knew her name for most of the movie right ] Don't worry, we were fast friends long before you knew my name.

TRUTHS

[lastrat]

Now there's a comfort. Keeping me on my toes, are you?

n o p e

[deskjob]

That is certainly one way of putting it. [ should she tell him she shot him ... ]

y e p

[lastrat]

[We'll he's about to find out in an update :c]

Do you have another way?

n o

[deskjob]

I could quote you, but I don't want it to go to your head.

[ oh my :c ]

Y E S

[lastrat]

[it will be fun times for everyone, except by fun times I mean lots of bleeding :c]

My ego is quite comfortable. You've nothing to worry over on that front.

>.>

[deskjob]

I'm well aware. That's what I'm worried about.

[ pain everywhere, that'll be fun yeah. ]

<33333333333

[lastrat]

[He should maybe find a better definition of fun.]

We are acquainted.

[deskjob]

[ a much better definition. ]

Did it take until now for you to believe that?

[lastrat]

Trust but verify, ma'am.

[deskjob]

Well, then. [ with a slow smile. ] I'm Eve. Eve Moneypenny.

[lastrat]

Pleasure to meet you so early, Ms. Moneypenny.

[deskjob]

Likewise, Mr Bond. [ at least this time they managed introductions before anyone was shot? ]

[lastrat]

[Pretty nice feeling, isn't it?]

I'll look forward to meeting you in person.

[deskjob]

Is that a request, or just looking into the future?

[ yes, rather. ]

[lastrat]

Looking ahead. Meeting now is something of an impossibility at the moment, I'm afraid.

[deskjob]

And why's that? [ curiosity killed the cat... ]

[lastrat]

I'm a bit out of reach. [Do not come to space, Eve, it's a bad time up here.]

[deskjob]

A bit, Mr Bond?

[lastrat]

[You can practically see him sigh and resign himself to having to explain.]

I'm on an interdimensional ship in space, Ms. Moneypenny.

[deskjob]

Well. [ a beat. ] How did you get up there?

[lastrat]

[Oh, you are mocking him, aren't you.]

Someone thought I could do with a bit of redemption.
