Headcanon — If you can't beat ‘em, bribe ‘em

James Bond has 534 tried and true methods for extricating Q from his Branch.

But when the full-on smoulder goes unsnarked, the ear nibble with scruff nets him a distracted swat, the perfect cup of tea placed precisely within reach merits not even a deep inhale, let alone a sip, let it never be said that James Bond won't call in reinforcements when the straits are truly dire.

He just bribes Q’s cats to doze on Q’s keyboard and then he pulls out his never fail tricks.

He throws Q over his shoulder and launches himself through the door, so R can lockdown Q’s office. (Don't worry, the cats have special doors. Can you imagine cats redesigning pneumatic tube delivery systems though.)

((James is much too smugly pleased with himself to notice his Boffin’s smirk and jaunty wave to his Branch from his elevated sprawl.))

And then James spends the rest of the night making it up to Q.

Shhhh!! Our Beloved Overlord is Sleeping

Forget Protective James Bond, Q-Branch Minions will cut a bitch. (Joke all you want about our prototype lightsabers, but those babies reach 2200C.)

Celebrate Q-Branch day, but do it quietly. Q's been up for days and you do not want to be the one to wake him. Leave any offerings at the shrine. You'll know it when you see it.

Scavenger Hunt #44. QB-K9 is hard at work for Q-Branch, even when it's a pandemic-induced work from home day. Even when the Powers That Be decide to take this $%¥+ Show on the road. Always Watching, Always Sniffing Out Trouble.
