Valentin immediately starts talking when he sees you. His speeches take 28s to complete the objective, with "Business is business, Mr. Bond. I'd like to see my competitors out of action." starting 4s before that. If you're more than 80 units away from Valentin, he stops talking. If you're more than 500 units away, he leaves. Valentin contacts his associates when he's 15 units away from his destination, stops moving (such as if he's shot), or is 300 units away from you. <ref name="function explorer misc facts">{{cite web | url=https://forums.the-elite.net/index.php?topic=18518.msg455830#msg455830|title=the-elite Goldeneye facts topic post on miscellaneous function explorer facts|author=Icy|access-date=July 16, 2021}}</ref>
