[Scrambled Eggs]

Up now, more to follow.

A little teaser:

“Tough guy eh? Well, we need tough guys of course. Always will. Can’t be helped. The nature of the beast and all that. But look at this.” He spun the laptop around so that it was now facing Bond. “This is an itemised list showing MI6’s spending on James Bond in the past financial year.”
Bond glanced at the screen, “That much eh?”
“Two and three quarters of a million pounds. In one year. Now, you’ve been a double 0 agent for twelve years – congratulations – so if we extrapolate these figures for that whole twelve year period we can say that, not counting your salary, MI6 has spent something in the region of thirty two million pounds on James Bond. Now, do you feel - and I must stress that I’m being quite open minded about this and not making any decisions at this stage – do you feel that you represent value for money to the British tax payer?

Ooooh, I do like that scene.

Cool scene, and cool title, Scrambled Eggs!

Oh, and: "He was thinking mostly about braised tofu, which was a pleasant suprise but didn’t help her much" made me chuckle

Just added in a discussion link from the story.

Now finished the first two 'chapters'! Most excellent. This is an excellent interpretation/continuation of James Bond for the new millenium. I can't wait for the next part!

New addition up now.

Another excellent installment, SE. The plot thickens! I'm guessing that Lexie was involved in the same project that Chakra had been involved in and that this man, Strawb, could be somehow trying to protect remaining four (now three, I guess).

I'm seeing a trip to Thailand in the stories future.

I usually don't comment on unfinished pieces, but this is Scramble's best so far, and I'm enjoying it throughly. I love the sense of humor and tongue in cheeck tone of the story. Remarkable, well crafted, and looking forward to more.

[MkB]

Very good, indeed!
I have a kind of "X files" vibe about it (in a good sense)!
Besides, SE, your sex scenes feel very Flemingesque: allusive, but with just enough naughtiness.

Me likey. More! More! Can't wait for the next chapter.

More plot development. This is fabulous. I can't wait for more to be posted!

[MkB]

Just caught up with the last chapters posted. As clinkeroo said, this is definitely one of your best pieces so far, SE!

Thanks! You're all being very kind. Glad you're enjoying it.

There'll be more soon.

Any word on when we can expect the next installment, SE?

[MkB]

Fan club sign up #2, Scrambled Eggs! I'm waiting for my "Collateral Damage" fix too!

There'll be more chapters before the end of the week. I shan't bore you with my excuse for the wait but it's a bloody good one, take my word for it.

Be assured that I'm not making this up as I go along and bringing things into the story without knowing how it all fits together. I know exactly what happens and when, just a case of finding time to get it down.

Glad you're both enjoying it. I'm enjoying writing it. Now, if you'll excuse me, Chapter 14 is shaping up nicely...

Scrambled Eggs, I liked every bit of it. Really. The Hong Kong tailor scene is classic Bond, as are the twisted Chinese, and M being "sexually harrassed" is just anthological! You manage to deliver a very Fleming Bond in a very contemporary world (up to the Jamie Oliver details! ), and the tongue-in-cheek tone is a treat.
Really, no kidding, I can't wait for the next chapters!

[terminus]

I can only second what MkB has said, absolutely brilliant. Very Fleming but also very modern.

[MkB]

I just wanted to post some words of encouragement for Scrambled Eggs. Please, please, please, treat us with the end of this Collateral Damage!

[terminus]

Seconded. Can't wait to see where this ends up going!

Thanks for the words of encouragement both. Not to worry, there'll be more soon.

Just to say that your "Collateral Damage" fans love and support you, Scrambled Eggs!
