samanthahirr:mi6-cafe:It’s WIP Wednesday! Post a line or three from a current WIP, and then tag @mi6-cafe so we can find and reblog it!OR you can reblog this post with your WIP excerpt!All ships, fandoms, and WIPs are welcome. Here’s an excerpt from Chapter 8 of my 00Q WIP “Off The Books”:One of the screens switches to a pale blue portal with an eagle insignia that sends prickles down James’s spine. “Is that what I think it is?”“That depends. Do you think it’s the system admin view of the servers at Langley?”“Yes.”“Then it’s what you think it is.”What was it Tanner had called Q the other day? Radioactive. “I confess, I’m a bit alarmed that you’re hacking our allies.”“Oh, that’s nothing new. I built this particular back door for M years ago.”For M. It’s both reassuring and troubling in a way James doesn’t care to examine. “Just how many government agencies have you hacked?”“Ours or theirs?” Q parries, before flailing a hand to wave away James’s unease. “Don’t worry; I’m not some techno-anarchist who wreaks havoc indiscriminately. I haven’t hacked a British institution in years—not without M’s explicit authorization.”“That fascinating caveat aside, you’re saying it’s only the rest of the world that you keep on a string?”Q turns again, gaze flinty. “I’m not the threat here,” he snaps. “Silva is.”James could point out that M’s authorizations surely expired with her death, and that Q’s recent infiltration of MI6 (both digital and physical) would be interpreted as a threat by any reasonable person. But that would just be playing at false outrage, over what is obviously a touchy subject for Q. “Then let’s find the bastard,” James says firmly. “I don’t give a shit what treaties you violate to get it done. What information does the CIA have?”“Are you sure about that?” Q asks, almost under his breath, as he studies James for an odd moment. -- source link
