Dr. Christmas Jones: One of Bond’s Girls


All of Bond’s girls have always been known for their beauty but some have extreme intelligence.  One of those girls was Dr. Christmas Jones who was one of the most brilliant girls Bond ever met.   She was a gifted scientist who had confidence in her skills working in a male-dominated profession and always showed her strong-willed bravery under pressure.
Dr. Christmas worked for the International Decommission Agency (IDA) acting as an environmental scientist for nuclear weapons.  She had a peace tattoo design which symbolized her role as a peace activist.  She was also fluent in Russian and an expert in nuclear physics.  Her sense of style in clothing often allowed her to promote her diverse nature and personality, especially when she could dress casually in a tank-top, shorts, and then paired the outfit with heavy duty work boots.  She had a tactical fission HP Jornada 430SE hand held computer which she used with ease and expertise in using high end technology.
Dr. Christmas’ intelligence almost ended up in stopping Bond from carrying out his mission to stop an anarchist terrorist as she believed Bond was the suspect.  She detected that Bond had forged credentials and that his Russian was not his first language.  The confusion created by Dr. Christmas to try to stop illegitimate people from entering the site such as someone like Bond allowed the terrorist Renard to escape with a nuclear weapon from the site.  Dr. Christmas then had to work with Bond to try and recover the weapon and destroy Renard.  During the collaboration, they discovered that diversions were being used to cover up a plot to explode the weapon in Istanbul’s harbor and kill at least 8 million people.   This plot would allow Elektra King’s pipeline to have total control over oil supplies from Russia to Western Europe.  Both working together, they successfully stopped the plot.
 
The climax of the relationship between Dr. Christmas and Bond was the prevention of loading the plutonium of the nuclear weapon into a captured nuclear submarine’s reactor located in Istanbul’s harbor.  They had to work together on a sinking nuclear submarine to stop the terrorist.  They stopped the critical nuclear reaction and escaped just in time as hydrogen gas in the submarine reactor destroyed the ship by blowing it apart without a nuclear explosion.  After surfacing with their final gasp of oxygen molecules in their lungs, Bond ended the millennium with Dr. Christmas in his arms.  Bond always got his man and his girl.
