My feeling is that I'd like to see you hang around long enough to settle down a bit before getting Permission. Enthusiasm is good, but I kinda feel like you've been loading the Board with lots of one-line references to memes and your own work. Since I don't want to see missions colored heavily with references to memes and your own work (where your avatar is God, I think?), I'm leery of a yes here, especially with these agents. One has a history of getting shiny presents directly from his author, and the other one is defined as a walking vending machine for powerful weapons. You say he won't use it, but in that case, why even put it there? How often will there be "no other solution" but to tap into it? And Specs' glasses—bursting into flame when he takes them off is not a Law of Narrative Comedy, it's random chaos. It's important to know the difference, because random does not necessarily equal funny. This is a common misconception.

I'm just... very leery. On top of what VM has already noted, I think a "not right now" is appropriate. I'd like to see you read more missions, settle in, and maybe come up with a pair of agents that don't seem so heavily inclined toward big guns and shiny swords that come from On High, okay?
