Protip: After you’ve done all the Redux missions, you might find it hard to unlock the Bond missions. To get all the Bond missions and unlock the last of the character, you must first increase the relationship between the officers. Once you’ve done as much as you can through dining and so forth, take them into a battle. When you win, their bond should change from red, to yellow, which will allow you to trigger their prerequisite conversation.
