James Bond 007 Blood Stone -2010- -v76654- -ela... <PREMIUM ⇒>

This is not the released Blood Stone (2010). This is a lost development build (v76654), unearthed from a corrupted Bizarre Creations server. It features a darker, non-linear narrative, cut dialogue by Judi Dench’s M, and a third act that was deemed "too nihilistic" for a Bond property. The subtitle "Ela..." refers to Elara Veles , a ghost from Bond’s past—a former 00 trainee presumed dead in Pripyat in 2003. ACT I: The Broken Handshake (Istanbul – Present Day) Mission 1: "A Damned Leash" 007 infiltrates a Vatican bank vault under the Bosporus. Target: Dr. Aris Thorne, a Greek oligarch selling "Blood Stone" crystals—a new smart-explosive that only detonates for specific DNA signatures. Bond secures the sample, but Thorne is found dead: throat cut with a titanium playing card (signature of SPECTRE freelancer "The Dealer").

The screen cuts to black. Text appears: "BLOOD STONE will return in... A QUANTUM OF SOLITUDE – REDUX." | Element | Released Game | Variant 76654 ("Ela...") | |--------|--------------|----------------------------| | Villain | Nicole Scherzinger’s character | Elara Veles (tragic, Bond’s equal) | | McGuffin | DNA-targeting explosive | Bloodline-targeting prion | | Tone | Action-thriller | Psychological horror / espionage tragedy | | Bond’s Arc | Stoic hero | Guilt-driven anti-hero with a forced choice | | M’s Role | Supportive | Complicit, morally shattered |

M orders Bond to Siberia to retrieve the last remaining sample from a crashed train wreck. But MI6 is compromised. When Bond arrives, the wreck is swarming with mercenaries wearing British Army special forces tags .

As Bond extracts via speedboat, the sky tears open with drone strikes. The Dealer hacks Bond’s earpiece: "M sends a puppy to do a wolf’s work. Elara sends her regards." James Bond 007 Blood Stone -2010- -v76654- -Ela...

James Bond 007: Blood Stone – Variant 76654 – El Arca del Fin

The mission ends with Bond crashing into the Grand Bazaar. When he reaches the rendezvous, his contact—a CIA asset—is dead. Beside the body, written in blood: ACT II: Ghosts in the Machine (London & Siberia) Mission 2: "Vault 76654" Back at MI6, Q decodes the number: it’s a Cold War-era bioweapon vault registration. V76654 was a Soviet program codenamed Krovnaya Svyaz ("Bloodline"). The weapon, "El Arca," is a programmable prion that infects a single family line—and only them. It lies dormant until activated by a specific chemical trigger.

After a routine extraction goes wrong, Bond uncovers a dead bioweapon designer’s final failsafe: a customizable, bloodline-locked plague codenamed "El Arca." Now, with M betrayed and MI6 in lockdown, Bond must race from the flooded catacombs of Istanbul to a decaying oil platform in the Gulf of Mexico—where the antidote isn’t a cure, but a choice. This is not the released Blood Stone (2010)

Bond fights through the frozen wreckage. In the central cargo car, he finds not the weapon, but a cryo-pod. Inside: , alive. She opens her eyes—green, unaged. She whispers: "You left me to freeze, James. I’ve had seven years to redesign God’s mistakes."

A young 00-trainee mission gone wrong. Bond (007 provisional) and Elara (009 candidate) are extracting a defector. A firefight collapses a reactor block. Bond chooses to save the defector. Elara is buried. MI6 declares her KIA. She was not dead—she was captured by SPECTRE, then sold to the Krovnaya Svyaz program as a test subject. The prion rewired her cellular structure. She cannot die of disease or age. But she can feel every genetic marker of her enemies. ACT III: The Arca Protocol (Gulf of Mexico – Oil Platform "El Descanso") Mission 3: "Blood in the Water" Elara escapes Siberia with a partial sample of El Arca. She intends to release it into the water supply of London, Paris, and New York—but only targeting the descendants of the original V76654 test subjects: a secret cabal of intelligence directors who funded the program in the 1970s, including a younger M.

Bond storms the oil platform. He fights through The Dealer (revealed to be a former SIS quartermaster, disfigured by M’s cover-up). In the central lab, Elara has already released the prion into a smaller test chamber—holding the UK Ambassador and the US National Security Advisor. They begin seizing, veins turning black. The subtitle "Ela

This variant was abandoned because test audiences refused the "no right answer" ending and because Eon Productions felt it "made Bond complicit in genocide." Only three beta discs of v76654 exist. One is rumored to be in a private collection in Dubai. Another was allegedly wiped by MI6's real-life legal team. The third... remains unaccounted for.

M finally confesses: "I authorized the test. Forty-three orphans, injected with a prototype. Elara was the forty-fourth. She’s not a victim, James. She’s the antidote. Her blood contains the master key—but using it will kill her."
