Why do you need two? I assumed it was an accidental mispost and closed it. It was confusing to have two nearly identical threads.

Agent Double-Oh Oh sees box with pizza. Confidently walks up to it, the trap springs and Agent Double-OH OH is trapped. Unconcerned about this event he takes a sample and puts in portable analyzer to check for toxins. Finding none he proceeds to eat pizza, as a result of this he puts on a few pounds. After eating two slices he recalls earlier conversation with M and remembers he must fight free radicals. Walks to the lock and studies it, then reaches for his trusty lock picks only to find them missing. after searching around he notices them lying on the ground OUTSIDE the trap well out of reach. Not a problem, he still has his handy-dandy laser cutting watch. he aims the laser at the lock and pushes the on button, after 2 seconds the laser shuts off. Agent Double-Oh Oh looks at his watch and realizes the battery died. (at that moment he sees this pink bunny banging a drum go by and hears from out of nowhere "STILL GOING AND GOING AND GOING...") Next he takes off the heel of his shoe and pulls out a charge of pLastic explosive from its antistatic bag, replaces heel of shoe, stretches detonator from watch to explosive, and places in lock. He moves the required distance away from explosive, then remembers his battery is dead. Agent Double-Oh Oh proceeds to search the box for other ways out but doesnt find any. In frustration he pulls out his cell phone and calls Uncle Q. After a short wait Agent Double-Oh Seven arrives in his new Astin Martin, takes Agent Double-Oh Oh's lock picks and hands them to him, gives him a stern lecture and drives off to meet his russian contact. Leaving Agent Double-Oh Oh in the cage to get himself out. Taking his lockpicks he goes to the cages lock and angrily sticks them in to try and pick the lock. The pick hits the side of the lock and a causes a spark of electricity which sets off the explosive charge. While this does open the lock it also causes severe damage to Agent Double-Oh Oh. After being rescued and sent to the hospital it is determined that the damage is too severe to repair. He has lost his right eye, his right arm and both legs plus his hearing. M recalls a U.S. special project and ships Agent Double-Oh Oh, and the pizza, to the OSS in the United States. M is heard to make the remark "Let the bloody yanks deal with him!".

next scene is a surgery unit in some unknown location in the United States. The Doctor in charge is saying "Gentlemen we can rebuild him. We have the .............."

Dazed and confused, Alpha Kodiak takes a break from staring at indecypherable BizTalk HIPAA Accelerator sample maps. At that moment his subconscious programmer's mind locks on to the scent of pizza. Without thinking he grabs the slice of pizza and fails to notice the trap spring on him. He begins to walk back to his desk, dragging the trap and all those in it back to his desk. Once he arrives at his desk, he dimly realizes that he can't see the monitor because of the box. Unsure what to do, he decides to take a nap....

*Wandering through Alpha Kodiak's office, Jack spots an odd device of high teck, and calls a friend on an unsecured cell-phone to tell about this strange thing.*

*A local "mechanic" overhears the conversation on his "special radio", triangulates on the location, and calls his, um, "crew"*

*The "crew" comes by with a bunch of power tools, reduces the box to its constituent parts, and carts them away for either parts (sensors that can distinguish individuals, the computer that runs them, good locks) or scrap (chain, bLast shielding, other metal parts), leaving nothing but the box's inhabitants and the pizza.*

*Jack blinks, ends the phone conversation, and walks away very quickly and very quietly.*

That's the problem with high-tech traps - they have valuable parts....
