virus Omega
This was Ernst Stavro Blofelds method of mass destruction. Virus ‘Omega’ was something Blofeld had constructed that would cause infertility in plants, animals and humans. Under the disguise of an allergy clinic, Blofeld cures women from the around the world. However at the same time Blofeld is also subconsciously training them to be his tools for spreading the virus. Each girl was given a case containing a number of objects disguised as make-up accessories. The atomizer in the case contained the virus, where as the compact mirror was a radio receiver. Blofelds ‘angels of death’ would, at midnight switch on the receiver to listen for Blofelds voice to receive instructions.
