I like that Selene got to show off her emotions more this mission. I didn't realize she liked Boromir so much, so it was nice to see the scary thunder-pire acting like the typical PPC agent more. (Full disclosure: I haven't read most of your past missions yet, so I don't know what she acted like much before I joined. I'll get around to them eventually, but you're kind of a low archival priority, since I doubt you're leaving anytime soon. (: )

Anyway, that emotional response to Boromir made the ending scene where he dies all the better. You can really hear from both agents' dialogue that they care about Boromir, but also that they respect him too much to interfere with his life, in the way any given Sue might.

I also like the extremely subtle bit of envy going on regarding the cloak. One thing that I think would have been improved would be seeing the action of Selene grabbing the cloak as it happened, rather than getting it as narration to Agent Kaitlyn afterwards. I get why you did from Kaitlyn's point of view, since it reinforces Kaityln's desire to get the cloak, but it would have been more exciting from Selene's pov.

The charge scene is especially excellent. I love that Kaitlyn delivers the charges in a way that Guinevere doesn't realize she's on the chopping block. It's a nice gesture to a less offensively bad character, but more importantly, it allows the agent and the Sue to have a more real conversation, because the Sue isn't instantly set on guard by antagonistic words.

All in all, a fun mission, you had some entertaining little moments, and did a few things new and different.
