    Summary

    “Christ, I’m sorry, Q,” sighs Bond. “This whole mission has been a balls-up from the start.”
    “Yes, it has,” returns Q. “And it would be a darn sight less vexing if you could just remember who exactly has motive to kill you, and what they bloody look like.”

    After Bond comes a little too close to being blown up, he's sent halfway across the world to discover exactly which of the hundreds of possible suspects is responsible. Reluctantly, with a great deal of complaining, Q goes along as backup. Except that Bond isn't the only possible target on this mission, and as the suspects start piling up thick and fast, Q might just find that he lost the moral high ground long ago.

    For Want Of a Competent Government by

    Summary

    “Please, can’t we get just one competent government?” a man sighed as he received his fifth funding request back, unopened.

    There was nothing special about this man. His name was Irdo Gyrk, originally hailing from Chandrila before his need to “see the galaxy” sent him rushing off to the nearest space port, and then his need to eat sent him into the arms of the first steady job he could find. In all, Irdo Gyrk was a plain, unassuming, and all together unimportant man, who worked as a minor assistant to some equally unimportant bureaucrat.

    This man was just like any other man, this day just like any other day, and his words just like any other low-level government employee frustrated with the slow-turning cogs of bureaucracy. The difference, of course, is that this time, someone was listening.

    That someone was the Force, and it was an asshole.
