AN: Merry Christmas all! I'm back home from my weeks of adventures, vet prac, sheep and beef prac, and generally working my ass off.
What a tumultuous couple of months it's been. My 30th was heralded by a double quake (magnitude 7.8) in Kaikoura, the epicentre was where my friend and I had been staying only 2 nights previous. We'd driven up that coast less than 48 hours before the quake. Very little loss of life from the quake, but a lot of displacement.
And we've lost Carrie Fisher. I'm utterly heartbroken about that. We've lost a brutally honest, unapologetically fantastic, take-no-shit woman.

I own nothing you recognise. This is all completely un-beta'd and totally fresh off the top of my brain!
005 gets a push update to his work phone the next morning. It's an app titled 'EyeSpy'. He opens it, curious.
"I Spy With My Little Eye" graces the top of the bland white screen. There is a button that says 'My Turn' down the bottom and below that 'Hint'. In the middle it says 'something beginning with S'.
005 smiles. This app has Q's fingerprints all over it.
Later in the day, after school, 005 gets a notification from the app. It reads 'something beginning with T'. A few minutes later it says 'Denise poses 'something beginning with Q'.
He calls Q branch. Denise picks up. "If you want to get her current location, press 'Hint'. Until Q's had a play with her phone, it will rely on whatever cellular or wireless networks she's on, so give him about a week and we should have a much more accurate position on her, rather than a general location."
"Thank you, Denise," he replies. "Are you rolling it out to everyone else?"
"You bet," she says. "Only on your Home Cells, we don't want this information to get into the wrong hands." 005 shudders.
"No, we don't. Thank you again, and thank Q for me too, please," he says.
"I will." The line clicks off.
