JAMES BONG - Agent of Anarchy - Episode 22

in #fiction6 years ago

What will Bong find when he investigates a whistleblower's tip in China?

On the previous episode of James Bong, K received information from a scientist claiming to be a whistleblower.  He claimed that the Falun Gong in China were not just being kidnapped for organ harvesting, but also for a second, and much darker, purpose.  

James Bong – Episode 22

Scene 1

Bong has flown deeper into the mountains and set up a campsite.  He is preparing to send a hawk drone to gather more information on the operation described to him by Dr. Bill Spiller.  Then comes a call on his smartwatch from K.

K:  Bong!

A holographic image of K’s face pops up over Bong’s campfire.    

Bong:  Tell me some news, K.
Miss Moneybit:  Hi Bong!   

K:  News? Well, Miss Moneybit just got back from the beach.    
Bong (sighs):  That’s nice.  I just finished eating homemade popsicles on this blasted cold mountain..  Could you please tell me what you found on Spiller’s location?

Moneybit:  Bong, is that a campfire? You don’t have any smart thermals with you?
Bong:  Call me old fashioned.    

K:  So we found out more about the so-called whistleblower, Dr. Spiller.  Symphy checked the time stamps on the bio info we had previously found on him.  It turns out it’s just a few days old.
Bong:  What a coincidence.

Moneybit (sarcastic):  Bong the coincidence theorist!
K:  So Symphy did a facial recognition search through internet archives and found his real name.  The guy you met is Dr. Hector Helix.    

Bong:  So did he actually invent the DNA computer or not?
K:  Yes and no.  Ya see, he was on the development team with the real Dr. Spiller.  But Dr. Spiller died in a car crash.    

Bong:  So it looks like some people are going through a lot of trouble to muddy the waters.  So where did Helix go? And what are those coordinates he sent you?

K:  The satellite imagery suggests that the coordinates he gave are some type of prison. (sarcastic) That was great of him to invite you!

Bong:  I’ll send a thank you card and flowers.    

K:  But the spot Helix went to is a couple miles away from the coordinates he gave you.  The thing is, we couldn’t find any data on his location.  It’s completely dark, as if it didn’t exist.

Bong:  Which means that’s where we need to be to find out exactly what’s going on here.    

K:  You sending that hawk drone that I see behind you? Why not a bong shaped drone instead?
Bong:  I was going to send a bong shaped drone with a caricature of Miss Moneybit engraved on it, but didn’t have time to get it done.     

Moneybit:  That would’ve been real subtle.  Nice thinkin, Bong.    

Scene 2

Dr. Helix is having a holo-video call with General Small.

General Small:  So Bong hasn’t showed up yet?  

Dr. Helix (annoyed):  No, not to my knowledge.  And can’t you just speak directly with the head of security? I’m in RnD, so what the hell are you asking me for? I did what you asked, giving bait to Bong.    

General Small:  Compartmentalization! The key to any authoritarian hierarchy.  That’s why!
Dr. Helix:  And why don’t you just leave Bong alone? The more you provoke him, the more he’ll fight back.  Haven’t you figured that out yet?

General Small:  Are you a Bong sympathizer?!
Dr. Helix:  I don’t have time for this.  I have a deadline to meet.  Don’t worry, if Bong turns up, you’ll hear about it, I’m sure, one way or another. (Helix reaches for call disconnect button)

General Small:  Just what is that supposed to mean?

Click.

Meanwhile, the hawk drone that Bong sent is gathering intel, flying near the ghost facility where Helix works and drops a spider drone into the ventilation system.  It then heads to the prison complex a couple miles away, where it also sends a spider drone into the vents.    

Truckloads of prisoners are moved from the prison to Helix’s facility, where they are run through a battery of psychological and physical tests.  Some receive injections, some don’t.  There are massive warehouses full of vaccines that look ready to ship.  Part of the ghost facility has surgical centers where organs are harvested.  There are various order-followers in uniforms with the Chinese national cult symbol, as well as private rights-violating mercenaries dressed in all black tactical gear.    

The prison itself is mammoth, housing thousands of prisoners behind bullet proof double paned glass cells.  Bong has the hawk drop a crypto-bug on one of the facility’s data transmission lines.

Scene 3

Bong has another holo-call with K.

Bong:  K, how long until you can get in their systems with that bug I dropped?
 
K:  With Symphy’s help, hopefully within the hour.  Why don’t you go ahead and get out of there? We have enough data to bust this thing open and expose it online.   
Bong:  And just leave thousands of prisoners here? I don’t think so.

K:  You’re going in? 

Bong:  With your help.    
K (slurps coffee nonchalantly):  Makin me work overtime today.

Bong (punching on a touchpad):  I’m sending you coordinates.  Send a second transport there.
K:  For thousands of people? An airbus that size doesn’t exist.

Bong:  The transport is for me, K.  Obviously I don’t expect to single handedly help thousands of people flee.  Fly my original plane out remotely if you can.  It’ll at least serve as a good diversion.

K:  Got it.  How about a mountain llama?
Bong:  Yes, a bullet proof mountain llama that flies.  How about that?

K:  The only way to fly. So how are you getting in?
Bong:  I need you to blind their cameras on the perimeter.    

K:  I’ll be creative.
Bong:  I’m sure you will.  One more thing.  Send the resonance frequency for bullet proof double paned glass to my frequency generator.    

Scene 4

A few order-following mercenaries are sitting around in a surveillance control room at the prison complex.  The wall is filled with various live surveillance camera feeds.  Suddenly, the feeds from the perimeter fence change.  A music video of “Karma Chameleon” by Culture Club takes over the screens and plays at full volume.    

Merc 1:  Ahhhh! What the hell is this?!
Merc 2:  It appears to be bad 80s pop music, sir!

Merc 1:  I know damn well it’s bad 80s pop music! What is it doing on the perimeter security feed!? Sound the alarm!

Meanwhile, Bong, dressed in 3D printed, all black tactical gear with lots of gaudy pins and medals dangling from his sleeve and chest, slices the barbed-wire perimeter fence open with a laser cutter.  He dashes up to one of the emergency exits of the nearest building, where he finds a uniformed criminal having a smoke.    

Bong:  Don’t you hear that alarm!? Don’t you know what that means?! And you’re smoking!?
Uniformed Criminal (sees gaudy medals, jumps up):  Uh, sorry, sir!     

Bong:  Inside, this instant!
Uniformed Criminal:  Yes, sir!   

Uniformed criminal runs to nearest entrance, with Bong following closely behind.  Criminal has eyes scanned, door pops open, Bong hustles in after him.  Bong runs through a maze of corridors and finally reaches one of the central holding areas, where there are multi-tiered cells full of prisoners.  

Two uniformed rights-violating criminals meet Bong face to face.  Bong sprays them with THC mist concentrate, which immediately puts them to sleep.  He then plants the frequency resonator on one of the bullet proof glass prison walls.  Within 10 seconds, the glass begins to crack throughout the complex.  Thousands of prisoners flee chaotically as order-followers in various costumes attempt to control the mayhem.  

Bong uses the chaos to his advantage, and escapes the complex within minutes.  He runs to the designated coordinates where his second transport, a Hummer, is waiting for him.  Bong calls K.

Bong:  A Hummer!? You expect me to escape central China on land!?
K:  I hear it’s a nice drive this time of year.

Bong:  K!
K:  Oh, calm down.  It’s a flying Hummer.  With radar deflectors.  You’re welcome.

Bong:  Very nondescript and functional.  Just like you, K.
K (huffs):  You’re impossible.  Have a martini.  Relax.    

Bong:  Very funny.  Is my original transport in the air?   
K:  Yep.  And they’re following it diligently.  Such a waste of a good plane.    

Bong:  So sentimental of you. Now please get this monstrosity in the air for me while I figure out how to fly it myself.  

K (sarcastic):  The dashing and daring James Bong needs help flying to safety? You're losin your edge, Bong.

Click.

The Hummer takes off vertically, then zooms off to the Southwest for the Burma border.    

Scene 5

3 days later, at K’s lair in Acapulco, Moneybit greets Bong at the front door.

Moneybit:  What took you so long?   
Bong:  K's lowbrow choice for an escape vehicle.

Bong enters and joins K, Symphy, and Moneybit.    

K:  Bong, welcome back.  How are you?
Bong:  Still defrosting.  Have you posted on Dtube yet? 

Moneybit:  Just raw video so far.  But I’ll have a full report ready within days.
Bong:  What’s taking so long?

K:  The rabbit hole keeps getting deeper.
Bong:  Enlighten me.

K:  So let’s start with security, a joint venture between the extortion-funded cult known as the Chinese military, and the insane criminal posse formerly known as Blackwater.    

Bong:  And who owns the property?

K:  The extortion-funded gang with fancy titles known as the Chinese government.  And here’s where it gets really interesting.  All those prisoners weren’t just Falun Gong practitioners, as if that weren’t bad enough.  The rest are dissenters from all over China.    

Bong:  But who’s doing the RnD? I can’t imagine that Dr. Helix is working for the Chinese government gang.

Moneybit:  Not directly.  A labyrinth of dummy corporations from various parts of the world was set up to hide who’s funding this hellhole.  But Symphy got to the bottom of it.  It turns out that a tiny company called Biodata Health Solutions got a billion extorted dollar contract from DARPA five years ago.

K:  Not bad for a company with only two employees.
Bong:  What’s the contract for?

Moneybit:  Bio Computing research.
Bong:  And who owns BHS?

Moneybit:  The one and only Jerck Pharmaceuticals out of London! Not only that, but did you know that Jerck has been pushing for mandatory vaccination programs worldwide? They’ve got their tentacles everywhere.    

K:  And the criminal cabal called the Chinese government gets a cut of the loot, plus some help in keeping dissenters under control.    

Bong:  Sounds like a psychopath back-scratching extravaganza.    

Moneybit:  That’s one way to put it.  And Bong, that’s great that you freed all of those prisoners, but you know that they’re just going to get rounded up again, right?

Bong:  Yes, I know, but at least now they get a second chance.  At some point, they’ll have to defend themselves.  Anyway, what about the vaccine? Did you find out what it does?

K:  Symphy is still analyzing the data from their labs, but it looks like whoever would have that in their body would cease to have any degree of autonomy.  The DNA computer literally acts as an interface to the brain. 

Bong:  Sounds like the ruling psychopaths of this world are getting desperate to maintain control, and this is their trump card.

Moneybit:  Was their trump card.  And yeah, I think they're getting desperate.  The mind-control the ruling class once held over people is starting to wane.  Just look at how many tens of thousands of people have stopped making extortion payments called taxes.  And there are Natural Law study groups popping up everywhere, too!

K:  One thing really puzzles, me, though.  Why send Helix to us in the first place posing as a whistleblower? If we had never heard from him, then this operation of theirs would still be a secret.

Bong:  Good question.  I’m not sure, but it does show that they’re not as clever as they think they are.  I also have a sneaking suspicion that whoever sent Dr. Helix our way is not having an easy go of it now.

Meanwhile, another call is happening between Sir Hugo Trax from MI6 and General Small from the CIA…..

Trax:  How did you manage to bungle this one, Small?!   
Small:  I can’t take all the credit, sir. I had lots of help.

2 weeks later on the BBC…..

And in financial news today, Jerck Pharmaceuticals took a tumble due to losing a large government research contract.  Details can’t be made public by the BBC at this time as to why the contract was lost, but rumors are swirling that it might be connected with public pressure from the recent backlash against vaccines.  Jerck representatives were unavailable for comment. 

Thanks for your time and attention!

Just say "NO" to slavery!
