Synopsis

  Brief Description: Domino is on a mission in Hong Kong. Abseiling down a skyscraper, she smashes through a window and attacks the six armed men inside using her luck factor to ensure things go her way. She takes them out but not with her usual brevity and a mysterious voice on her communication link prompts her to get the job done a little quicker. She manages to take out five of the men and forces the sixth to reveal the whereabouts of a Petri dish containing some biological spores which could be used in weapons. She takes the dish and escapes from the building before speeding off before the cops manage to capture her.
