[PSL] Tex & James Bond

[a_shadow]

In a shadowy future Earth, Agent Texas of Project Freelancer faces off against the intelligence agency MI6.

For the purposes of this AU:

• Project Freelancer is a rogue former government agency of the UN, which rules the planet.
  
• Agent Texas wears a body armor suit, but nothing as durable or advanced as the armor shown in RvB canon. She does not have armor cloaking as in canon.

Other details to be added as necessary.

First Encounter

[a_shadow]

Agent Texas of Project Freelancer never spent much time thinking about her origins, how she came to be assigned to this agency, her background, nor her methods, for that matter. She had a job to do and she did it, always with aplomb and style, but never sacrificing efficiency for style points.

She had completed two missions to date and this third one was a special one-night only engagement. The documents she needed to retrieve were carefully sequestered from the internet, only kept on a specific laptop which was never connected to the web. There were also three backups kept in specific, remote locations in the city. This meant the laptop and three backups needed to be taken in a smash-grab robbery as close to simultaneously as possible.

Texas had been assigned to steal the laptop. She was transported to the city of London on a red-eye train from France via the underground tunnel that connected the two countries. Texas arrived at her destination in the city in the early morning and needed to bide her time before donning her armor and making her way to the target building.

Texas was utterly unafraid of what she would encounter here. She knew she had the skills to beat the building's security, and if she was caught despite hacking her way in, she could fight her way back out, no problem.

Texas found her way there, and awaited the signal to begin.

I'm late but I'm here, also this is a lovely setup!

Bond's never been the best at waiting for his quarry. He's always been better-employed as a chaser, as a tracker; someone who blows down a wall to get at what needs to be gotten.

But in the increasing stakes of the general war that's erupted against the splintering cells across Europe, Bond's at least getting used to being asked to do these kinds of things.

It's why he's assigned to just guard important places, sometimes. Whenever they don't have a specific mission for him, he'll be seen prowling through MI6, their embassies, anywhere important that Intelligence has a reason to suspect might be the object of the next hit.

It's luck, more than anything, that has him in the vicinity of it when a familiar voice comes over his earwig. 'Hostile suspected but not confirmed at headquarters. A security measure was tripped but subsequently deactivated. No word on it having been an accident by any known personnel.'

"On my way." Bond can get into most areas that aren't information-based; all buildings accept his clearance levels unless its intelligence on MI6 itself, its workers, their technology...etc. But he can, at least, walk in through these doors and simply nod at anyone he comes across, looking for...

Well. Anything suspicious, apparently.

Thanks!

Tex isn't one to dwell. So though she curses at herself in the aftermath of tripping the security at first, she's quick to deactivate the alarm and get going. She has very little time now and she needs to work fast. She has studied the schematic of the building, and as long as the briefcase is being stored where their intelligence had claimed, she should be in and out in no time.

Her proximity alert going off is her first indication that someone has arrived to foul up her job. She's just at the outlet of the room she needs to enter and as soon as she breaks the security panel—no need for subtlety anymore—she's in and looking for an alternative method of escape.

The room is bare concrete as far as materials go—no big heating grates or anything handy like that for making her way out. And no windows. It's an interior, secure room. They knew what they were doing there. So apparently that means going right back out the same door she entered.
