SPECTRE Meeting Discusses Recent Developments and Losses
Ernst Stavro Blofeld/Number 1
Sit down, Number 2. We will discuss your NATO project later. I regret to inform you all of the death of SPECTRE Number 6. Colonel Jacques Bouvar was killed by an unknown assassin. His services will be greatly missed. We will now proceed with the area financial reports. Number 7.
[Largo bows and takes a seat amongst 12 men; dims the boardroom lights and shows a map of Earth, with a pulsating light blue pentagram over Japan, on the screen opposite his box]
SPECTRE Number 7
Blackmail of the double agent, Matsou Fujiwa. Unfortunately, only 40 million yen, all the man had.
Blofeld/Number 1
Number 10.
[the star on the map has settled over France]
SPECTRE Number 10
Assassination of Perringe, the French anti-matter specialist who went over to the Russians...three million francs from the Special Department of the Qui d'Orsay.
Blofeld/Number 1
Number 5.
[the star on the map has settled over the United Kingdom]
SPECTRE Number 5
Our consultation fee for the British train robbery, £250,000.
Blofeld/Number 1
Number 11.
SPECTRE Number 11
Distribution of Red China narcotics in the United States. $2,300,000. Collected by Number 9 and myself.
Blofeld/Number 1
Two million three? Our expectations were considerably...higher, Number 11.
SPECTRE Number 11
Competition from Latin America. Prices are down.
Blofeld/Number 1
I anticipated that factor. Are you quite sure all monies have been accounted for, by yourself and Number 9?
SPECTRE Number 11
To the penny, Number 1.
Blofeld/Number 1
On the contrary, I have satisfied myself that one of you is clearly guilty of embezzlement. SPECTRE is a dedicated fraternity whose strength lies in the absolute integrity of its members. The culprit is known to me. I have decided on the appropriate action. Let us now proceed with new business. We will hear from Number Two, who is in charge of our NATO project, the most ambitious SPECTRE has ever undertaken. Your report, Number Two.
[Number 11 is nervous that he would be punished, but is surprised when Number 9 is electrocuted and immediately disposed of; the seat moves back up with burn marks on the upholstery]
Emilio Largo/SPECTRE Number 2
Thank you, Number One. Our intention is to demand a ransom from the North Atlantic Treaty powers of 280 million dollars. A hundred million pounds. I have sent SPECTRE agent Count Lippe to the South of England where he is making the necessary preparations. He is at a health clinic, conveniently located near the NATO air base.

SPECTRE Threatens Major City with Atomic Bombs
M
Well, now that we're all here, the Prime Minister has asked the Home Secretary to come and represent him here today. Home Secretary?
Home Secretary
Ah, gentlemen. The tape that you are about to hear was received at 10 Downing Street this morning.
Ernst Stavro Blofeld/Number 1
My dear Prime Minister, two atomic bombs, numbers 456 and 457, which were aboard NATO flight 759, are now in the possession of SPECTRE. Unless within the next seven days, your government pays to us one hundred million pounds Sterling, in a manner to be designated by us, we shall destroy a major city in England or the United States of America. Please signal your acceptance of our terms by arranging for Big Ben to strike seven times at 6:00pm tomorrow.
[on tape]
Home Secretary
The Prime Minister and the President have talked together over the hotline, and have agreed that unless the bombs are recovered, payment will have to be made. To avoid general panic, complete secrecy will be maintained, and no press announcements. The Prime Minister has asked that your department take charge of the operation.
[To M]
M
Thank you sir. Sir John?
[To Air Marshal Sir John]
Air Marshal Sir John
This circle represents the full flying range of the Vulcan. Extensive search has failed to locate any evidence of either a crash or landing, and worldwide reports have proved negative on all airfields large enough to handle the Vulcan. That's all we have, sir.
[At the map; pointing; To M]
M
Thank you, Sir John.
Home Secretary
Well, I'll leave you to carry on. We'll keep you in touch from Number 10.
M
Thank you, sir. You may now open the folders in front of you. Codename... Thunderball. As you can see, we've very little to go on. All the members of the crew had top security clearance. You'll find their photographs and service records in your files. You'll be working with NATO, CIA and all Allied intelligence units. Well, that's all, until you discuss your individual assignments with me.
[The Home Secretary and Kenniston leave; to the 00 agents; The 00 agents do so, looking at the papers in them.]
