"My name is Alec Trevelyan. I am an agent of Britain's MI6. I inherited my codename from the previous agent, and now I am 006!"
"June 20, 2005. I asked Bella to make me a brand-new diary out of dragonhide. Apparently she also added some kind of spatial-folding magic? I didn't understand a word of it, but the new diary has a full range of functions and looks quite handsome. I have to admit, aside from being rather unlucky, Bella treats her friends well."
"July 3, 2005. Today I saw Dr. Harmon, who once provided Sharon with psychological counseling. He invited me to Washington, D.C., and asked me to supply a batch of firearms. I refused. Why would I go there for no reason whatsoever???"
006 drew three question marks beneath this passage. Perhaps some part of his subconscious also sensed that something was wrong, but under the influence of a supernatural force, he merely recorded the incident in his diary after refusing and told no one about it.
"July 4, 2005. I woke from unconsciousness. I was being held in a private residence. I defeated several men in black robes. The goat heads, inverted pentagrams, and 666 markings made their identity obvious: they were a Satanic cult. Those people must have ambushed me! I checked my diary and discovered that I had no memory whatsoever of July 3, yet the diary stated in plain terms that a man called Dr. Harmon had approached me that day and asked me to supply firearms. What are they planning? God! I don't remember any of it! I hurried to Washington, D.C. Suddenly, a garbage truck stopped in front of me. When I saw the gleaming heavy machine gun inside, I immediately took cover. A biochemical virus can't stop heavy-machine-gun fire. During the ensuing battle, those masked bandits shot me three times. Nothing serious. Wounds like these barely count as minor injuries for me now. Every time I come to Washington, I end up in a hospital. Without my income from Weyland-Yutani, my savings wouldn't be enough to cover all these hospital stays. American healthcare is far too expensive! If Bella's father becomes president, he had better reform the healthcare system. Even a billionaire like me can barely afford hospitalization!"
"July 11, 2005. I heard that the new 007 completed his training and officially assumed the codename. To be honest, my feelings are complicated. Although I don't think this has anything to do with me, I have decided to go and see him on my own."
"July 12, 2005. What a surprise! An unbelievable surprise! The moment I entered the hotel, I saw Bella! I made the decision to come here at the last minute, and she didn't appear to have any particular plan either. To run into each other under these circumstances is… truly, truly, unbelievably unlucky! I have a terrible feeling about this. Leaving now would make me look cowardly, so I'll stay a while longer."
"Evening, July 12, 2005. I've been poisoned! My ventricular tachycardia was caused by a digitalis-type toxin! Damn it! Who poisoned me?"
"July 14, 2005. I woke in a hospital room. Bella neutralized the poison, but my body is still rather weak. Both 007 and that other person are plagued by rotten luck. I should keep my distance from them. I'll rest here tonight and return to Germany tomorrow!"
Beneath this, 006 added a line in smaller letters, specifically noting that it had been written afterward. His handwriting was somewhat hurried.
"Evening, July 14, 2005. A Weyland-Yutani scientist suddenly came to my hospital room. He said he had made a major discovery and wanted me to leave with him. Damn it! I came to Montenegro alone. How did this man know where I was? There is something wrong with him! A group of masked bandits surrounded me. They were powerfully built and carried automatic weapons. I wasn't afraid of these small fry in the least. Two pistols slid from my sleeves. I intended to use Gun Kata to teach them some manners. I assumed the opening stance of the Tetragrammaton's Gun Kata, and several of the bandits stared in amazement."
"July 15, 2005. I was captured… A tall, thin old man in strange robes, with ten rings on his fingers, summoned a mass of darkness. Then something like a fireball exploded against my chest. I was knocked to the ground before I could even see what had happened."
"July 18, 2005. They returned my diary. I can continue writing in it again."
"Evening, July 18, 2005. That Weyland-Yutani scientist appeared before me again. He is a traitor! He revealed a great deal of Weyland-Yutani intelligence to an organization called the Ten Rings. It seems I will have to order the assassins of the Assassin Brotherhood to strengthen their internal oversight!"
"July 20, 2005. I was taken to a valley. It is difficult to imagine, but a silver-gray alien spaceship is sitting inside it. The Ten Rings apparently believe that because Weyland-Yutani's technology came from aliens, I should know how to start this alien spaceship. Ridiculous! Do these fools think every alien in the universe comes from the same place?"
"July 21, 2005. They ordered me to open the alien spaceship's hatch. How would I know how to open this thing? Bella and her alien robot friends have always handled this sort of work. If you have the nerve, go find her! Shall I give you her phone number? Idiots! Idiots! You have the wrong man! I cursed them, so they beat me!"
Comrade 006 was extremely angry while writing this passage, and the strokes of his pen were exceptionally forceful.
"July 22, 2005. Beaten for the entire day."
"July 23, 2005. Hung up and beaten for the entire day."
"July 24, 2005. I repeatedly explained that I don't know how to open that damned spaceship! I offered to pay a ransom, but these people ignored me and whipped me for another entire day… You pieces of shit! Don't let me find an opportunity, because the moment I do, I'll kill every last one of you! Give me a gun! Even without a gun, I could kill these bastards with a knife or my bare fists! Tonight, the moment they undo my chains, I will kill them!"
006 wrote the words viciously in his diary.
"Evening, July 24, 2005. The tall old man appeared again. His eyes glowed so frighteningly that the only person I have ever seen with a similar gaze is Bella. I felt the secrets in my mind spilling out beyond my control!… The old man seemed to say something, but I couldn't understand him. He mocked me. Then a purple light appeared around his right thumb, and I felt the virus cells near my heart fall into an abnormal state of stagnation. Afterward, I discovered that whenever the biochemical virus flowed through my heart, it caused unimaginable agony! It appears my escape plan will have to be postponed."
"July 28, 2005. It seems those people have finally realized that I have no way to open the hatch of that damned alien spaceship! I was transferred to a dungeon. There is another prisoner here, someone I recognize. Weyland-Yutani's medical division has dealt with him before: Doctor Yinsen, an outstanding surgeon. The Ten Rings captured him to perform operations."
"August 6, 2005. A very famous man was thrown into the dungeon: Tony Stark!"
