A new mission, and a little extra just because! by

Firstly, yes, I'm not dead! Hello! *waves*
For the first time in forever, I have a new mission report for you. Twu wuv, a distinct lack of sense and logic, a ballroom full of gravestones, it's all there!
As a direct consequence of the events of that mission, aluckyscientist in the PPC Medical Research Division was able to write a very interesting paper about what could well be a brand-new Suvian affliction.
P.S. The original fic in the Circle of Lemmings seems to be down at the moment. It disappeared and reappeared several times while I was writing the mission (completely unchanged each time as far as I could tell), so I imagine it'll pop its head out again soon.
P.P.S. If anyone wants to write the Continuity Council's reaction to reading the research paper, I'd love to see it! (Check the small print if you're not sure what I'm on about. ^_^) -

A very creative way to kill a fairly mediocre fic. Well done, fun to read!
So... does this mean we need to start worrying about the various ex-Sues and Replacements in the PPC? If one of them gets into a relationship - even a temporary one - with an 'abnormal' agent, and they come into contact with glitter, we could see Reason #43 Cascades springing up across HQ. I realise we haven't before, but that doesn't mean anything where Legal are involved.
Hmmm... I don't think Constance was a Maglor fangirl, so she should be safe. Can't think of any other ex-badfic characters in my works. I'd worry about Sergio Turbo and Nikki Cherryflower, though... looks like Sergio might even have the slightly 'abnormal' anatomy needed to pull it off.
As for Morgan's reaction, it goes something like this.
Ahahahahahahahahahaha!
Pause for breath.
Ahahahahahahahahahaha!
Reader, have we forwarded a copy to the Guardsman and Ceka? Good. And can we see about informing HQ's former Replacements what they need to look out for? Great, thanks. Where was I? Oh yes.
Ahahahahahahahahahaha!

Agent Kaitlyn has recently met an ex-Replacement of Arwen, who's virtually identical to her primary LO, Luthien. And she gets drunk around her. That... yeah, that's a potential future plot thread right there.
Though I suppose Kaitlyn is baseline human, so she might be fine... unless unless...

As for other Reason #43 Cascades, I'm not sure... certainly possible.
It'd be particularly insidious if the 'patient' were already in a relationship with the ex-Sue, as he or she would have little reason to fight it. You don't normally resist being attracted to someone you love, and have a much harder time seeing the difference between attraction and obsession.
----
And the counter-reaction(?):
Fish: "Well... at least I didn't declare war on the entirety of existence. I think if we're judging my sanity, yours has to be called likewise into question."
Morgan: "Hey! That timeline never happened, it was wiped from the continuum. Your sparklification was real, and will remain so."
Fish: "You try fighting a 'Sue that's annexed a large part of your mental real estate, see how you get on!"
Morgan: "I'd probably just shoot it."
Evie: "Shooting it sounds good. Next time, we shoot it, m'kay Fishy?" -

Yay! Two of my favorite things in the multiverse together: Frozen and a Time Lord!! XD
I love the characterizations of both The Fisherman and Evie, I actually did read all the previous missions and interludes, before reading this current mission, to familiariaze me with the characters; so I'm definitively following this spin-off. -

It's especially funny because I used to love the ever-loving shiitake mushrooms out of that movie, and I was wondering how long it would be before somebody tried tackling badfic of it. Though objectively I now feel that there are better-written flicks out there, I personally think it's not the worst thing Disney has to offer - it's just so overrated it's not even funny. *shudders at the memory of all the Olaf merchandise I see at, oh, every single store ever*
Opinions aside, though, it was about time that Evie and Fish did a new mission. I personally like the original lyrics of 'Let It Go' better, and man, I feel sorry for the Fisherman after what happened. The paper describing the new affliction was pretty funny, though.
And seeing as you've come back, have one of my own shed feathers as a gift both for your return and your mission! Careful, it's pretty, uh, sharp... -

I only watched it relatively recently, and I actually really like it. It's got a few glitches (pacing issues, too many songs close together, one or two logic blips) but then again so do most movies.
Yeah, the merch situation has gone a bit loopy. A lot of the tie-in stuff uses ancient pre-release artwork too, which looks a bit off.
He did have rather a tough go of it this time around, didn't he? At least he got to kiss (not!)Elsa, that's something, I guess?
Sharp feathers? Interesting, thank you! -

And, uh... is Elsa one of the Fisherman's LOs?
I can understand, Elsa is drop-dead gorgeous, but I half-thought most Time Lords didn't do the whole romance/lust thing.
I guess it's just the Doctor who's celibate/chaste/asexual/other-thing-that-precludes-sexual-relations? -
Thanks! by

And, uh... maybe? ^_~
I would say that before the Sueification incident he might have had a small crush on her (not that he'd have identified it as such, due to his Time Lord nature, as you say).
Now, what with the Hyperlustin disorder to contend with, who knows? I suppose we'll have to wait and see what happens if he ever encounters her again.
Not that it'll happen, because who would send an agent with a condition like that back into the Frozen continuum? It'd be asking for trouble, wouldn't it?
Hehehe~ -

Who I mainly know from the Melty Mission, but they're awesome. And this mission was even better than the Melty Mission.
I suppose that this is a sign that the Time Lords shouldn't eat the Suefflé? ^_~ -

Haha, I liked that one too - you know things are going wrong when the fabric of reality itself starts turning into goop. I'm glad you like this one too! :)
Indeed so, Time Lords don't seem to react well to glitter. Although eating it might be more tolerable to them than inhaling it... -

Maybe it's because of the backup respiratory system Gallifreyans have? If the glitter got lodged in that, you'd have a devil of a job getting it out, and in the meantime it'd just recirculate through the poor unfortunate in question. =]

Nothing more profound than a combination of having more interests than is in any way reasonable, and the fact that I've been developing a web application over the past year or so. Well developing, designing for, marketing, etc - a time consuming but hopefully fruitful endeavour!
I'm glad you liked the mission and the report! ^__^ -

I love reading the Fisherman, and seeing what happens to him at the end was absolutely priceless. I also like his optimism in the face of canon butchering - though I'm surprised he didn't make the leap that Elsa's ability to create sentient life might actually be hijacking sentient beings from parallel universes and shoving their consciousnesses in ice sculptures-
Oh. That's... that's a bit dark for him, now that I say it out loud. Ignore me then.

The strange, unnatural, wheezy-sounding noise billowed out from RC 1875 like a cloud of mustard gas. Its cause was a video, currently playing on the ruggedized Control Panel bolted securely to the room's wall. Wobbles had a quick look inside, saw the Notary with tears streaming down her face and rolling on the floor, assumed there wasn't a medical emergency, and bounced in.
"Heya, Agent Holy See! Glad to see you've cheered up!"
The Notary just pointed at the screen before collapsing into gales of something I will call, for lack of a better option, laughter. Somewhere in the distance a glass shattered.
"Huh. Oooh, did he get Suviated? Wowzers. That's... that's a class 4 FGE at least, goodness golly gracious, I had one of them once time and it was just the worst. I wonder if they voltage-calmed him - nope, nope, just the happy juice. Say, I've got an errand to run, so, uh, you okay down there?"
There was something that sounded like a hoover struggling manfully against the attentions of a lascivious pufferfish, so Wobbles just strolled out of the room again, heading down to the A/V Department. It was a fairly long walk, since she'd been banned from using the lifts on account of her condition, but hey, it was good exercise, right? She got there eventually. It wasn't like there was any rush.
"Heya, gangeroos!"
"Hi, Wobbles," chorused the various techies. "What do you need? Can we have the scripts for the next week's Wobblevision?"
"No. Well, uh, maybe. I... kinda need a favour, please don't tell Adam, I'd never hear the gosh-darn-diddly end of it. See, there's this video..."
A few minutes of negotiation and some hastily transferred scripts later, the technicians got to work, and Wobbles bounced out the room just in time to see the video of her roomie's encounter with herself that one time play over the broadcast screens dotted around Headquarters.
"It's not nice to laugh at the misfortune of others, is it?"

Yes, Wobbles is kind of a douche. -

I can't imagine the Notary will be particularly pleased, though... :P
As for the consciousness-transplant, it's a nice idea and probably the kind of theory Fish would actually come up with if someone suddenly acquired the ability to create sentient life. Elsa's ability is canon, however, and therefore doesn't really need further explanation from a PPC perspective. -

Although I don’t even know the canon – besides vague childhood memories of a Snow Queen fairy tale that doesn’t exactly match – I can see why this had to be done.

They used Hans Christian Andersen's tale as a starting point when developing the film.
It was originally going to follow the original story more closely, but they changed things up when Idina Menzel recorded 'Let it Go', and they decided that Elsa would work better as a kind of tragic hero rather than an outright villain.
It's worth watching, I'd say - just be prepared to have the songs stuck in your head until the end of time! -

The Doctor-Level-Crazy Time Lord and Sort-Of-Humanized GLaDOS never fail to provide enternaiment. Man, I missed those two.
While short, it was a really interesting mission - also proof that you must not kill the Dummy first. You portrayal of a Lusted out Agent was really good, too! -

I very much enjoyed this, especially the Fisherman having to fight off the Suefluence. Shame it didn't quite work out.
Just one tiny nitpick: As an agent of the Protectors of the Plot Continuum, you are hereby charged with
I think it would be a bit clearer if you said "As an agent of the Protectors of the Plot Continuum, I hereby charge you with". The way it is now makes it sound like not!Elsa is an agent. ;)
Other than that, well done, and the Medical report also got a giggle out of me.
