Meanwhile back at Heartsdale HQ...
"Now listen up chaps.... I mean kitties.
As Head of MI5.5, I am declaring an immediate detente.
Effective immediately, all subterfuge and hostilities will cease until further notice.
Our Moscow branch are under imminent threat of neural neutralizers.
We plan to launch operation 9Lives post-haste.
Thank you for your attention.
Meeting adjourned."
