All those minis, and completely changing the whole story just to keep Anakin good and Padmé alive...Like Elena said, sometimes bad things need to happen to characters we like in order for the story to progress.
Yes, months after getting permission, I have FINALLY posted a mission.

What if Darth Vader had lied and he wasn't Anakin. What if Padme hadn't died but she was a prisoner on the Death Star. What if Leia had been put in the same cell as her mother. What is in store for them.
Rated: T
I hope it works. Like I say in the author's note, I couldn't think of another way to do this. I haven't found anyone else trying to do the same thing as was required here.
It's long, partly because the agents have to meet at the beginning and partly because it was their first mission, so they wanted to spend some time doing it. For the next missions, I plan to use crazier stories, write shorter missions, and have Kath get more of a personality when she gets over the shock of starting her job at the PPC and gets more confident around Elena.

You know a fic is bad when their prologues are shorter than the length of the post needed to talk about your first mission.
But yeah, this was a hilarious sporking. I love the dynamic between Elena and Kath in this first mission, because it's so much fun. Also, Kath seems to be getting really, really angry all the time. So I expect you to use that!
Fun times are had all around.
