"Good morning, Q.""Double-oh-seven."James stepped behind the Quartermaster, his chest nearly pressed against Q's back and his breath brushing the other's neck. He expected a shiver or a blush, but none of that happened.Q kept on typing with his glance fixed on the screen hanging at the wall, fingers flying over his keys, and posture perfectly tense, like a ballet dancer or something.James stepped closer, looking over Q's shoulder.No, he had no idea what he was doing there at his screen, but James wasn't stupid and understood the concept of what he was doing. As far as he knew, he was coding. Maybe a new program or another update for MI6's servers."Michael, correct the third line from the left, you made a coding mistake", Q's voice interrupted James' thinking process, a minion cursed and hectical typing was audible.James wondered how Q could have known that, because he had seen Michael's screen - at least he assumed the man he had terrorised had been said - and it was anything but alike Q's.He had a good memory for numbers, mind you."Q, there is an not-authorised access to my program.""That's me. Copy the signature and safe it into your system, unless you want to be surprised by my presence all the time", Q almost sounded amused, but something made James suspicious.He had witnessed conversations like that far too often to just say it's a coinsidence. There was something he didn't know, and he wanted to. He was a very curious man, after all."Q, a word?"As James closed the door behind Q's private - unused - office, he let his glance wander over the Quartermaster's frame, trying to find anything confirming his idea from a few days ago.There had been more than enough reasons to believe what James did, but that was science fiction and he really felt no desire to go to the psychologist just because Q would think he was stupid."Is something wrong, double-oh-seven?", Q asked as James said nothing for a few minutes, sharp eyes looking at James in curiosity.At least his facial expression showed this emotion, his eyes always lacked of any. It was worth a try, James thought, taking a deep breath as he leant against the doorframe."How come your eyes do not show emotions but your face does?"Q blinked. "Haven't you been informed about it?", he asked, and as James looked at him with a blank expression, Q sighed, "I'm not human, double-oh-seven. I am an android."Android? Like those roboter-human-hybrids from Terminator? But Q was so human, it couldn't be real, such a thing did not exist, yet James found himself believing Q because Eve once had said that Q couldn't lie, he was rubbish at it.At least now James knew why.There probably wasn't a program for it."You haven't answered my question yet", James said, crossing his arms in front of his chest."Oh. Pardon." Q cleared his throat, shifting from one foot to the other nervously. "It is nearly impossible to calculate the right amount of visible emotions in an eye, and the scientists having created me have not been able to mathimatically meassure it, so they left it be. I'm only a prototype, double-oh-seven.""Does that mean one day I'll come back from a mission and they put a hardware looking older without spots in front of the desk instead of you?"Bond counted it as a personal victory that Q looked annoyed and rolled his eyes, storming past James with slow steps, each immature and childish."They'll upgrade me. No replacement of the hardware, that would be waste of money. Just like keeping you in the job is", Q hissed, passing James and going out of the door.James smirked, turning around to look after Q."Wow, they programmed you with a lot of fire, didn't they?""Oh, shut it!", Q sighed, going back to his laptop again.
