Lady Penelope's mansion once again. Agent Grover has arrived in his smart black suit and sits with Lady Penelope for some more tea in their luxurious sofas as Parker finishes his duties.

Parker:

Will that be all, m'lady?

Lady Penelope:

Yes thank you Parker.

Parker departs the room, carefully closing the doors.

Now Mr. Grover, the information regarding the Armageddon?

Agent Grover:

Yes Lady Penelope. I have the entire report in my briefcase here.

He takes up the briefcase from the left side of the chair and takes out the necessary documents and hands them to Lady Penelope. She begins reading through.

Lady Penelope:

I see. A most concise report here.

Agent Grover:

Yes your ladyship. He couldn't tell me over the radio because it is so detailed and complex. And for a matter of security.

Lady Penelope:

Yes I quite understand. And Agent Crichton is with them at this very minute?

Agent Grover:

Indeed. So far nobody suspects him. And they have a rendezvous meeting tonight at 11:00 hours tomorrow down at St. Alban's Head. Somewhere along the coast near Poole and Dorchester.

She is handed the report, huge chunks of paragraphs of pages among pages.

Lady Penelope:

Yes, yes. This report is too detailed and will waste too much time, this is vitally priceless information here Grover!

Agent Grover:

I know. Well, in basic terms, as I have gathered by him telling me, they have struck a deal with several renegade independent states across the world, those including places like the Far East and Russia. For Russia alone, which is the first place that will receive the new goods for £750 billion dollars.

Lady Penelope:

£750 billion dollars!

Agent Grover:

Yes. A terrifying figure.

Lady Penelope:

But tell me Grover, what are these goods that are being exploited?

Agent Grover:

Ah, well, this is the dangerous bit. Seems like neither Agent Brosnan and I aren't making this very clear. The goods are massive amounts of a newly chemically created toxic gas that would wipe out millions upon millions of people!

Lady Penelope:

And where are their headquarters Grover?

Agent Grover:

Well Brosnan hasn't placed it in the report due to a potential security risk to the whole operation. Man and man the Armageddon has walked through, sucking them dry of their wealth and power and moving onto the next. And then the next. And then the next. And the rendezvous tomorrow maybe our best lead in order to capture the Armageddon once and for all.

Lady Penelope:

Then we will be waiting for them. And we shall arrive two hours early at St. Alban's Head.

Agent Grover:

Very good Lady Penelope. You know, I wonder what on earth he is up to right now. And what he is planning next.
