FROM VILLIERS:

Cmd. Bond has been evaluated on 12 occasions since joining the MI6. The first six evaluations previous to Cmd. Bond’s current assignment to HQ are no longer available in digital form, and I suspect you did not have the opportunity to personally review them. Although no operational details are included in these evaluations, I feel they should be examined in light of Cmd. Bond’s consideration for the 00 Branch.

RE: Training Evaluation

Cmd. Bond has completed all MI6 Covert Ops training. He has proved himself an exceptionally skilled and disciplined student of MI6 methods. He is one of the finest physical specimens I have had the pleasure of training, achieving surprisingly high on the Burns-Krause endurance test, requiring both physical and mental discipline. Bond was able to manipulate polygraph testing with ease, achieve a score of over .850 on the MI6 marksmanship course after being awake for over 72 hours.

While Bond is skilled with languages, and speaks fluently without accent in Italian, French and German, and speaks, reads and writes a passable Greek, Spanish, Mandarin, Cantonese and Japanese, he is far too essentially Anglophilic to pass as a non-Commonwealth citizen. Bond has a tendency to come across as arrogant and overly-confident in some situations. While confidence is a strength, arrogance is not. It is an important aspect of which to be aware.

Additionally, Bond often appeared visibly bored and restless during more mundane aspects of training. He obviously enjoys risks, enjoys calculating the odds of success, and playing those risks to the edge of failure.

Bond is ready for entry-level assignment as a member of the Black Ops Section.

The Kingston Embassy has been working with James Bond for the past three months. I have found him to be a problem solver, a dedicated worker, and an asset to the embassy staff. Bond’s natural curiosity has quickly helped bring the embassy important information on a variety of subjects, most importantly the efforts of Jamaican gangs to import guns into the UK. Bond has also increased this embassy’s ability to report on activities in neighboring Cuba, Haiti, and surrounding Caribbean nations.

Bond is , I fear, a loner. He works best in broad strokes when given general goals and the freedom to accomplish those goals in the manner he sees fit.

Re: agent evaluation: JBond

James Bond has continued to exceed expectations during this posting. We will regret re-assignment. Bond’s ability to gather, process and act on information continues to impress his co-workers. As can be seen by recent reports, this embassy’s ability to accurately report on a variety of issues with greater depth has come about largely due to Bond’s energetic efforts to verify the accuracy of the information.

During this posting, Bond has spent time in Haiti and Cuba, brining his unique perspective to those neighboring islands and their political and military status. He has also aggressively negotiated with certain local arms exporters, effectively denying them export permits for some time. Two such exporters have chosen to leave the business entirely and subsequently ended up in the custody of the Jamaican government. No other embassy staff has been present during these tense trade negotiations, although all evidence points to the matter being handled diplomatically and discretely.

Bond spent his spare time exploring the island and surrounding area. He became an avid snorkeler and diver, working on a detailed personal catalogue of area marine life. Bond also led a remarkably active social life with numerous women on the island, although he did not become involved in any messy personal entanglements. The embassy staff felt Bond’s ability to calmly juggle the requirements of work and his personal life were as good a recommendation for sensitive assignments as any.

RE: agent evaluation: JBond

We have been working with Mission Specialist James Bond for the past six months. We have found his working methods to be unorthodox and, at times, frankly trying. MS Bond often ignores paperwork and makes comments that seem to hide a veiled distaste for superiors and co-workers. His personal habits appear more inclined towards adventure and hedonism than the steady, consistent work required in this field.

While Bond has recently been involved in work with the Chinese Embassy considered important by the US, his cavalier attitude to the approvals of the FO before engaging in negotiations have been difficult for some staff.

We feel his re-assignment to London for consultation may be appropriate.

RE: agent evaluation: JBond

James Bond has acquitted himself with distinction during the past year. His investigations into the financial structures of a certain organization active in the Central Asian and European markets have been a valuable asset to the government during trying times, reducing our trade deficit to areas covered by Section TR. Bond has done much of his work in the field. His reports from Station A and Station P have proved invaluable. Bond also conducted important assessments on liability risks in the New York and DC markets. His ventures into Beruit and Tehran have also helped calm many fears.

While during this period there has been a tendency towards rash and aggressive postures, Bond has always sought to work with the facts, deal directly with key brokers in most negotiations, and to keep his head clear and calm. He has been an asset during this period.

RE: agent evaluation: JBond

During the past 18 mos. I have worked closely with MS Bond on numerous assignments. His work in all areas covered by Section TR has been appropriately aggressive and skillfully accomplished.

With one exception, MS Bond has been a fine example of discipline and results-oriented action.

As noted in earlier operational debriefings, MS Bond ventured into requested manufacturing and inventory assessments in and around Baghdad, per the request of the FO. In this particular case great difficulty was overcome by Bond and his former 030 team to provide what MS Bond deemed valuable, accurate and complete information to the FO prior to more aggressive negotiations. MS Bond openly expressed some bitterness over what he felt was a lack of willingness to fully digest these assessments in London and Washington before undertaking more aggressive negotiations.

Further assignments in the region have been carried out with skill and professionalism. MS Bond has not further mentioned the assessments for quite some time.
