Except maybe for target practice. Or for hitting homeruns, like Elly did.

OK, so, I finished my first mission, which can be found here (http://astra-aurora.livejournal.com/17479.html). I hope it's OK.

But oh god, poor Fiver.
I pity both your agents and the bunnies. -
Regenerating mini-Sue?! by

And we thought they were annoying enough when they stayed dead!
Nice job. Watership Down is one of my all-time favorite books, and one of the most appealing aspects of it is the very obvious non-human nature of the protagonists. Rather than being anthropomorphized animals, they're quite simply animals. Sure, some liberty is taken with giving them a language and more culture than they have in reality, but they are definitely not humans, and that is the charm of the book--it lets you read about people who are very different from anything you are likely to encounter, without confusing you with their alien nature. To read a story where someone turned them into furry humans would justifiably enrage anyone!
Good first kill, interesting agents, etc., etc. -

I should have put this in the main post, but I didn't, so I'm putting it here.
Anyway.

Nothing, unfortunately.

And 1 (1) mini-Sue (Rosebelle) which I completely forgot about until about five minutes ago.

I only added her to the list because technically she did get removed from the fic, but she's now in the custody of the DMSE&R, and they can do whatever they want to her.

Between your regenerating Sue and my styrofoam Sue, I wonder if DMSE&R could kit-bash a disposable crash dummy?
...probably not, it would spoil the humor of agents forgetting to collect the crash dummy before leaving the fic. The field testing could be amusing, though. -
Making writers come up with something new isn't bad. by

Depending on the same running things risks stagnancy, I figure. Look at CADs. Them blowing up every time someone looks at them is just old now.

I actually don't even use "regular" CADs. They're built-in in my AI Agent. Yep, she gets a lot of system errors. *whacks her on the head to snap her out from a freeze*

I laughed so hard at the colorzapper sequence. And I like your Agents, too. If all your next mission will be as funny as this one, you've gained a regular reader.

Good mission! by

I felt it took a bit to get really into it, but once you got into the jist of things it was hilarious. Grace and Ally play off each other very well, and with them I especially liked how Ally would get so clueless at some of Grace's pop culture references.
So the mission itself is good. =D
Now, for posting the mission, it's customary to put a list of the minis and the loot you've collected when you post the mission on the board. Nothing wrong with making a new post to cover that now, but just keep it in mind for future reference.
