Tan is presented as an analyst rather than a field operative. Her work shapes how MI6 trains and assesses 00 candidates. The Tactical Simulation Mode loop is her in-fiction creation: she designs the scenarios, sets the modifier rules, and evaluates Bond's performance.
Across the campaign, Tan serves as the framing voice for Tactical Simulation Mode. Her in-game presence is concentrated around the TacSim terminal at Malta and at MI6 Headquarters; she debriefs Bond on his TacSim performance and explains the scenario design rationale.
Tan is an original IO Interactive creation. Her psychology and game theory specialty is specific to this game's framing and is not derived from prior Bond canon.
Bond meets Tan in person at the Q Branch laboratory during the early gadget-tutorial chapter, alongside Q, where her workshop materials establish her psychology and game-theory role. Her Tactical Simulation Mode scenarios are first introduced from the training facility at Malta.
