At the C.I.E headquarters in Canterlot.

Con: Hello P, what do you need me to do?
P: That depends, what do you know about a parang buriko named Hattan Scaramanga.
Con: I know that she has a really powerful gun, and can kill anypony with just one shot. Why?
P: She has plans to kill you.
Con: Well that can't be good.
P: You need to go to Hong Kong, and kill her, before the opposite happens.
Con: Kill her? I don't know if I wanna kill her.
P: She is a threat, and must die.
Con: Fine. *leaves room*
Moneybit: Hello Con.
Con: Hi Miss Moneybit, where is Hong Kong?
Moneybit: In China.
Con: And where is China?
Moneybit: Very far from Equestria, on the opposite side of the pacific ocean to be exact.
Con: Oh great.
P: Ach, I almost forgot. This bullet has 0007 engraved in it, and I want you to bring it to S.
Con: What is he going to do with it?
P: Examine it.
Con: Oh thank celestia, I thought he was going to put it in a gem sandwich, and eat it.
P: NIEN! Why would he do that?
Con: I don't know, I'll ask him.

In S's lab

Con: Where's S?
lab expert: Over there.
S: Con? What's up?
Con: P wanted me to bring this to you.
S: A bullet? What for?
Con: She wants you to examine it, see what gauge it is.
S: Hmm. *examines bullet*
lab expert: *working on grenade launcher*
Con: Woah that's cool!
lab expert: *accidentally launches grenade* Damnit, Con, stop playing around!
S: I'm back
Con: What gauge is it?
S: You might not believe this, but it's a 4.1 millimeter gauge.
Con: I wonder who makes that.
S: You'll have to check the gun shops.

So that's what Con did, in the susunod part.
