JAMES BOND: IMPERIUM NEVER DIES
JAMES BOND: IMPERIUM NEVER DIES
A Warhammer 40,000/James Bond Crossover Screenplay
Opening Scene: The Pleasure World of Corinth Prime
A luxurious casino, all marble columns and golden chandeliers, filled with aristocrats, rogue traders, and Imperial nobles. A high-stakes card game is underway.
JAMES BOND (leaning back in his chair, sipping amasec)
"I’m afraid the Emperor protects, but he doesn’t deal second chances."
Across from him, a hulking, power-armored figure smirks—an agent of the Inquisition, Inquisitor Lucius Drake.
INQUISITOR DRAKE
"Brave words for a man betting more than his life."
Bond places a winning hand down. A noblewoman at his side—LADY SELENE VAHL, a striking rogue trader—smirks and leans in close.
LADY SELENE (whispering)
"You’re either very good or very foolish, Mister Bond."
Bond smiles. Before he can answer, a warning siren blares—an attack is underway. Explosions rock the city. The towering form of a Chaos Space Marine looms in the doorway.
CHAOS MARINE
"For the Dark Gods!"
Bond sighs, finishing his drink.
JAMES BOND
"Just once, I’d like a quiet night."
ACT ONE: A Mission from Her Majesty
Back on Terra, Bond stands before M, who is now a severe, battle-hardened woman in a military greatcoat.
M
"The Inquisition has its eyes everywhere, 007. But we have our own interests. Corinth Prime is just the beginning—someone is arming Chaos cultists with experimental weaponry. You will go to Hydraphur, infiltrate a noble court, and find out who."
Q, now a stern and exasperated Tech-Priest, presents Bond with new gadgets: a bolt pistol with a silencer, an auspex watch, and a servo-skull with a dry sense of humor.
ACT TWO: Intrigue on Hydraphur
Bond arrives in Hydraphur’s grand spire-city, meeting Lady Selene again. She is hosting a gala for high-ranking Imperial officials. Among the guests:
-
Lord Valerius, a suspected traitor.
-
An undercover Sister of Battle, disguised in a stunning evening gown.
-
A hulking Astartes in black armor—Lufian Cain, a former Raven Guard, now working as a mercenary.
Bond flirts with Selene, engages in verbal sparring with Cain, and uncovers a hidden Chaos cult. At the climax of the gala, a cultist detonates a daemon-infused grenade, forcing Bond into a high-speed chase in a grav-carriage.
ACT THREE: The Final Confrontation
The chase leads Bond to a hidden fortress orbiting a dying star. Inside, Lord Valerius reveals his plan: using stolen Adeptus Mechanicus tech to summon a daemon through a warp rift. Bond sabotages the ritual, engages in a duel with Cain (who wields lightning claws), and rescues Selene in a dramatic last-minute escape.
LADY SELENE (smirking, post-explosion)
"I assume this is where you say something witty?"
JAMES BOND (straightening his ruined suit)
"I was going to say ‘mission accomplished,’ but I’d rather celebrate properly."
As the fortress crumbles, they escape in an Imperial gunship. Fade to black as Bond and Selene share a passionate kiss.
FINAL LINE:
A post-credit scene: M receives a report.
M (grim)
"Prepare his next assignment. I hear the Necrons are waking up."
Cue the James Bond theme—now with an orchestral Adeptus Mechanicus remix.
Title Card:
"James Bond will return in… Quantum of Noosphere."
