Sometimes our intrepid men of the Seaview are sent on covert or undercover operations, including exotic locales, this was one such operation, though not without problems....
"Will somebody PLEASE get the Captain back here! I can't figure this new design out!"
And then there were other problems...

YOU SENT YOUR SPY TEAM TO A DUDE RANCH, NOT THE NUDE RANCH WHERE BOND IS BEING HELD PRISONER.
WE REALIZE THAT COMMUNICATIONS PROBLEMS ARE WIDESPRED WITH THE ADVANCE OF CELLPHONE TECHNOLOGY, BUT USE YOUR BLASTED RADIO FOR TOP SECRET MESSAGES IN THE FUTURE.

DON'T GET HUFFY WITH US, WE'RE ONLY DOING THIS AS A FAVOR. WE'VE INFORMED THE TEAM OF THE CORRECTION. NELSON
FROM: ONI
TO: SSRN SEAVIEW
WHAT THE HELL'S TAKING THEM SO LONG? IT'S BEEN A WEEK! IT CAN'T BE THAT DIFFICULT TO RESCUE BOND.
FROM: SSRN SEAVIEW
TO: ONI
ARE YOU SURE BOND WANT'S TO BE RESCUED? NELSON
FROM: ONI
TO: SSRN SEAVIEW
ARE YOU TRYING TO BE FUNNY? MI-5 IS MOST ANXIOUS. BOND IS THEIR MOST VALUABLE AGENT. HE MUST BE BADLY INJURED FOR THEM TO EVEN SEEK OUR ASSISTANCE. GET A MOVE ON.

TO: ONI
WE HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO COMMUNICATE WITH OUR TEAM SINCE WE TRANSMITTED THE CORRECTION. FEAR TEAM MAY BE LOST.NELSON
FROM: ONI
TO: SSRN SEAVIEW
HAVE JUST BEEN RELIABLY INFORMED BY MI-5 THAT BOND RETURNED TO LONDON TWO DAYS AGO, AND SAID HE GOT AWAY FROM THE BAD GUYS EASILY.
FROM: SSRN SEAVIEW
TO: ONI
AND THEY ONLY JUST NOW INFORMED YOU? WHAT ABOUT MY MEN?NELSON
FROM: ONI
TO: SSRN SEAVIEW
WELL, SORRRRYYYY. THEY VOLUNTEERED TO BE FIELD AGENTS AFTER ALL. THEY KNEW THE RISKS.
FROM: SSRN SEAVIEW
TO: ONI
TEAM HAS MANAGED TO RETURN TO SEAVIEW. YOU'LL BE BILLED FOR THE EXTRA CALAMINE LOTION WE'LL BE NEEDING. IN SPITE OF THEIR ORDEAL OF PUNCHING OUT THE BAD GUYS, DOC SAYS BOTH ARE SUFFERING FROM ACUTE HAPPINESS. DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA HOW DISRUPTIVE A HAPPY CAPTAIN IS TO A FUNCTIONING CREW? NELSON
FROM: ONI
TO: SSRN SEAVIEW
AS SOON AS THEY'VE RE-COVERED, THAT'S A PUN, IF YOU GET MY DRIFT, WE HAVE ANOTHER LITTLE ASSIGNMENT WE'D LIKE THEM TO GO ON.
FROM: SSRN SEAVIEW
TO: ONI
NOT IF I HAVE ANYTHING TO SAY IN IT.NELSON
FROM: SSRN SEAVIEW
TO: ONI
SO, WHAT'S THIS NEW MISSION YOU'D LIKE US TO GO ON? CRANE
"Hey, Skipper, I never knew this spy stuff could be so much fun!"
"Yeah, but you do have to watch out for fleas, even in the best of places."
