Q
Bond watched as Q fiddled with some wires. There was probably some technical term for it, but he didn't really care. As long as his gadgets worked as they were meant to Bond didn't care.
He heard Tanner come in before Q, and turned to watch the other man. Bond knew that Tanner and Q were good friends, occasionally spending their breaks testing out gadgets. But seeing as Tanner had brought another agent with him, this was a work thing, that Bond wanted no part of. He was only here to get his watch fixed. He could have left his watch with Q, but he was putting off some rather dull paper work, that was currently sitting on his desk.
In fact, his watch didn't really need fixing but Bond was grateful of any excuse to skip out on paperwork.
Watching as Tanner called Q over, Bond moved to look at some of the stuff Q was working on. Not that he understood it, but it was nice to have an idea of how his tools worked. In the distance he heard Q telling him not to touch anything. But he just waved his hand in the direction of the Quartermaster.
He knew that his presence was annoying the Quartermaster. He kept telling him so. But Bond knew that it was almost an impossibility that Q would kick him out of the labs.
Looking at the stuff that Q was working on, Bond had to admit that it was well made. He picked up the object closest to him and run his hands along it. He wasn't quite sure what it was, but it seemed to him to be a gun.
Not thinking, he raised the gun and pointed it at the target range that had been set up the last time Bond fired a gun in the lab. Finding a button, which he assumed it acted as the trigger, Bond pressed it.
The next thing that Bond remembers is Q shouting at him and throwing him out of the labs. It was three weeks before he was allowed back into the labs. And five weeks before Q would talk to him again. Although not without yelling.
