There’s an alternative as well - retire the franchise. Like this, I humbly suggest.
[Interior of M’s office. Bond enters room, M sitting at desk]
M: Good work on that last assignment, 007.
Bond: Thank you, Sir.
M: I know you’d probably like a bit of a rest and I quite understand that. However, there is one assignment I need you for. One of our operatives, a Station Chief, has gone missing, in Jamaica, of all places….rather peculiar, as not much really happens in Jamaica. We know he was cooperating with the CIA, at their request, on a case involving the disruption of rocket launches from Florida - some type of advanced signal jamming. From Strangways notes, he’d mentioned one chap in particular. Here’s a dossier; eyes only of course.
[M slides the dossier across his desk to Bond, who picks up and reads through the cover page]
Bond: Very well. So, any suggestions for how I should go about finding this Dr. Julius No that Strangways has mentioned?
