James Bond, the Galente Federation's chief agent, arrived in the Veliu Star System of the Source of Radiance Star System today to carry out a traitor-cleansing mission.
What he needed to do was eliminate Thomas Edland, the governor of the Veliu Star System.

Bond had not followed Ms. Jima's orders because, for several centuries now, he had trusted his own eyes more.
Rather than so-called intelligence from the upper ranks.
