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 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. James Bond 007 Blood Stone -2010- -v76654- -Ela...
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."
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." M orders Bond to Siberia to retrieve the

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.

Bond secures the sample, but Thorne is found dead: throat cut with a titanium playing card (signature of SPECTRE freelancer "The Dealer").
