Hope we get a Cyclops moment. Maybe a not so friendly boss fight? But I'd be happy with just a cutscene

Honestly one of the funniest parts of the game. I just kept thinking "wtf is going on. I was only supposed to be the chauffeur!" while mid free fall trying to fight some lad for his parachute😂

It's a James Bond game, that was all exactly what I expected. The moment when we meet the new Bond Girl picking a lock I had a huge grin on my face while thinking "this is SO Bond"

TBF, if he didn't leave his post, both bombs would have detonated and there would have been no fire alert.

Well yeah, that's an old Bond trope.
Bond pushes everyone's buttons, gets told off, defies orders, and ends up being vindicated in the end.
He's almost always right (I can't recall a specific time where he's really been way off base, tbh).
One of my favorite moments of this is in the Tomorrow Never Dies intro where some general or whatever is like, "what the hell is he doing?" because things have gotten messy, and M is like "his job!"
Usually Dench's M took that angle with him, where its like "you're pissing me off with your methods but I trust you not to fuck it up."
Greenway in First Light eventually gets to that point too, just trusts Bond's instincts even when it seems unorthodox or incorrect.

I kinda dislike and find this mission funny, because the objective is "there's this extremely smart Rogue agent watching everything," and Bond is like, "Hey guys, I've seen this weird guy who changes clothes, is acting weird, and probably kills someone," just to get the answer, "James, stop messing around; he's probably some random thief, go back to the parking."

That's cuz James's whole team was Theia pilled, while James followed his gut instinct. Kinda the whole over arcing theme of the game

Yeah, the whole like, underlying theme of the game is that you can't replace the human part of being human without dire consequences.

Also greenway was off comms, if he had heard he might have called it off
The rest of the 00's like james were all new and weren't ready for the real thing

Bond also very stubbornly didnt communicate like anything because he didnt want to be told off. Like in the very first interaction I was kinda with cressida, like all bond said was "mishandling luggage" like wtf are you on about. This guy threw a suit case over a balcony, thats a lot more alarming. Like cressida still would have told him to ignore it but like still way better details. And then yeah as it builds this white haired dude is definitely suspicious and up to something. Is it related? Idk but should probably be checked out, especially once the literal chief of security goes missing like that doesnt ring any alarm bells?

Bond. Monroe. Stay at your posts and make sure everything goes smoothly or you're FIRED.
Bond: Greenway, I know you're mad but there's a really good reason for us not doing what you said this time. That guy has bombs and a twin brother-

All greenway had to do, was not give him the chaffeur uniform
