Johnny English 2003

This transmission centers on a human intelligence agency that suffers a sudden personnel loss. The cause is both avoidable and poorly investigated. The agency responds by activating a lower-ranking agent with no field experience but considerable self-assurance.

The agent, named Johnny English, is assigned to protect a ceremonial object known as the Crown Jewels. They are promptly stolen. His investigation includes false leads, public embarrassment, and multiple accidental arrests. At no point is he removed from the case.

Despite frequent failure, English continues to believe in his abilities. His strategies include disguises that do not conceal anything, stealth operations that involve shouting, and physical confrontations with the wrong individuals. His survival is the result of luck, unacknowledged assistance, and errors by his enemies.

The antagonist is a foreign entrepreneur seeking to install himself as ruler of the country by threatening to turn it into a prison. His plan is supported by hidden weapons, political bribery, and a disregard for subtlety. English disrupts the plan unintentionally, often while falling, pressing the wrong buttons, or making speeches to the wrong audience.

Eventually, the antagonist is defeated. English is credited with success and offered additional responsibilities, which he immediately mishandles.

Conclusion: Humans will sometimes elevate individuals based on confidence rather than ability. Institutions prefer continuity over accuracy. Victory is often declared not when the threat is neutralized, but when the ceremony can proceed.

If Nebulon ever intends to penetrate Earth intelligence infrastructure, the appointment of a charismatic decoy may be enough to bypass internal scrutiny.
