A PPC visual novel? by

Recently I've had an idea to make a way to quickly introduce newbies to the PPC using a visual novel engine(specifically Kocho). It could cover the basics such as how missions work, navigating HQ, identifying Sues and OOC canon characters in the form of interactions with guides(or agents), and also double as a good writing/plotting challenge.
It's just an idea though, and being a newbie myself, I still have a lot of things to learn before I could write anything for the organization.

Hearing how, say, HQ personnel sounds like would be really amusing.

They're psychic, not to mention organic. Nothing to rasp with. Anyway, they're meant to be endlessly exasperated managers, not warlords. "I can give you worse jobs than you already have" is intimidating, sure, but requires a different flavor than one used to convey "I can kill you and everyone you love."

... but only if everyone talks like robots. Flowers. Agents. Canons. Suvians. They're all robots now.
In fact they're specifically all Separatist Battle Droids in bad costumes. Let's see now, for my main rabble:
Dafydd is a Firefighter Battle Droid. He doesn't fight many fires.
Constance is a BX-series droid commando.
Selene is a Vulture droid starfighter. Sure, she's a lot bigger than her partner; what of it?
Kaitlyn is a C-8 saboteur droid. She's sneaky. She'd be sneakier if she didn't have a brightly-coloured waistcoat painted on.
The Bonsai Mallorn is a T-series tactical droid. With a branch on its head.
Yep, I'm sold on this. Obviously Grievous himself plays the SO (he's a huge fan of the PPC; in fact he's the driving force behind this whole thing), with most of the other Flowers being either Tactical or Super Tactical droids. Agents get to be anything up to and including 10-meter long tanks.
All Suvians, Wraiths etc are played by baseline B1 battle droids. In wigs. They are very bad at it. But that's okay, because they get killed off in job lots on every mission.

Perhaps more snooty sounding with a heavy dose of sarcasm, and a hint of exhaustion? by

Today in Midnight can over-describe voices.

Or maybe Cinema Snob if the voice is less drawn out.

That's a sort of an interesting idea! I don't know if it will ever get off the ground, just on account of it being a ton of work and historically the PPC not being Amazing at collaboration, but it's certainly a neat concept. Of course, I'll rep for Ren'py over Kocho, personally...
I think the last PPC game was made by hS, although there have been discussions about making a visual novel in the past, mostly as a sorta "wouldn't it be funny?" kinda thing about the possibility of doing the traditional Inevitable Dating Sim Spin-Off game (we don't take ourselves too seriously around here, can you tell? :-P)

I was thinking about a dating si...err, interactive fiction-style story where there is a defined ending, but certain elements change according to the player's choices(reactions from characters, Department recommendations, PPC equipment malfunctioning, etc).
