The world will end in 30 seconds. A man standing on a rooftop in central London is holding a vial of the most destructive material known to man. If he drops it to the street and it breaks it, as he says he will in 30 seconds, the world will end.
Illya Kuryakin appears on the rooftop, 25 seconds to go.
'I am Illya from Uncle, I'd just like to say before you drop that vial, that this is your chance to become a hero.'
'Hero?' the man swings round toward Kuryakin.
Napoleon appears in the background and whispers to Illya.
20 seconds to go.
'Be careful, maybe this time we are beat, and it's going to ruin my new suit.'
'Yeah nice' Illya nods looking back at Solo and his blue pin-striped combo. 'You have such good tailors.'
'You think?'
'Duh...yeah!'
Fifteen seconds to go.
'Hey! the bad man calls out and shakes the vial. 'What about me becoming a hero? How does that work?'
'Oh yeah. sorry, I was just admiring Napoleons new threads.'
'Yeah' the bad man calls over to Solo. 'The colour suits you'
'Why thank you' Napoleon accepts the compliment graciously.
Ten seconds to go.
'Hero?' the bad man looks back toward Illya.
'Oh yeah that, yeah if you give me the vial and don't drop it in what' he checks his watch 'Six, five...'
'I'd become a hero instead of an evil villain?'
'Yes'
'Why didn't you say so before' He hands the vial to Illya.
One second to go.
Illya and Napoleon save the world. Yay!

Bravo!
Spasibo Seryozha.
I think you’ve missed your true calling – writing kitsch espionage tie-ins!
Did any of my fellow hamsters watch the eclipse?
How wonderful it was!
Conductor 71 was briefly in touch to say she was hosting an Eclipse Party – with a telescope and everything. Her partner, Misha, lamenting their lack of Jaffa Cakes...
Those crazy kids!
Axasha.
Does this mean you'll be kid to me on my birthday?
I missed the eclipse...sorry sounds amazing, when was it?
Jaffa cakes I love but can't eat!
Kind to me, i meant to say kind to me!!!
You sound worried, Sergei.
Heh, heh...
The lunar eclipse was last night. I love these BIG events, don't you? Really puts things into perspective.
Misha's quip about the Jaffa Cakes was to do with the adverts, I think...
Axasha.
Actually, I have never thought about it, though I have always wondered about the universe and beyond, and our little insignificant lives here on the planet. I don't mean that in a depressing way, just thinking about the size of it all.
Missed tha jaffa cake thing...duh!
And, actually I am nervous very nervous...after what I said about the Men from Uncle am I forgiven? oui?
