In which we discover what happened to Sergio and Nikki before and after meeting the Doctor.

Many thanks to Firemagic and Lily Winterwood for beta-reading it.
Bulletproof Angels. Run for your lives!
Now I'm excited for Blank Sprite. I'm itching to know what happens to Agent Sergio and Nikki...
...mostly because I hadn't placed down a timeline of events when I was editing your piece but:
the timestamp for the warning and the message for the Doctor should be either 3 April or 4 April 2013, and I'm leaning more towards 4 April. The blackout has already gone through 2013 HST for two days; it may not seem as long to Sergio and Nikki because of time distortions, but it has been long for others.
Fixing that up.

Wow. You've really set up an interesting scenario here. I'm going to be watching curiously to find out how you cause Sergio and Nikki to disappear. (If they even do. You didn't show them absolutely confirming that they weren't around in 2013; they just didn't see any sign of themselves. *fingers crossed*)
My favorite scene of all was when the blackout first hit, and in the hallway, agents are starting to peek out of their RCs with different light sources. It's a minor moment, but to me, it's a great way of showing how HQ united over this, and how different agents from different backgrounds have their own ways of dealing with problems.
The first one was detained in the part of HQ that intersected with the Harry Potter continuum, the second was captured by the Captain Dandy, and it couldn't have been the third because that one was subsumed by Slorp soon after it was first encountered. I would have asked if this was a fourth angel, and then I saw that bit about Sergio's gun being designed to take out armored vehicles, so I'm pretty sure a Weeping Angel could survive two grenades to the face.
This was a good interlude! Poor Corolla, though. She stays behind to feel safer, and then gets caught in another time-shift and has to sit alone in the dark for three hours.
Maybe, nursing its wounds (if it had any), it absconded to the mirrored hallway and then... yeah.
It barely got any screentime before being absorbed by Slorp, so I thought it could be that it wasn't capable of putting up much of a resistence as it was already wounded.
I mean, you're welcome to run with either Angel (though I wouldn't recommend literally doing that).
It messes up my spelling badly.
That would explain how one Flower was able to bring it down. It was already hurt, and the disruption of its reproductive processes was just the last straw. I'm tempted to put the time-paths of the three individual Weeping Angels on their page, but that seems a little much.
Putting an overall timeline on the Blackout page? That would fit.
(I am in no way suggesting this because I'm now thinking about writing an interlude, too. Definitely not one about FicPsych, most of whom remember the last time the power went out and would Not Be Happy. Nope.)

This is my "internal timeline consistency" bug talking again, but I don't like putting up works-in-progress. Parts of me say that it would help keep future writing fit into the established time scale, but parts of me say it would be a bother putting something up that we've not seen the full extent of yet, because we'd have to rearrange everything if it suddenly went sideways, so to speak.
Oh, yeah, most of your characters were around during the Black Cats' invasion, and the shields went down before that, too, when the Cats sapped DoDAEG's power supply. I hadn't even thought about how veteran agents might be treating the Blackout.
Heh heh. Paranoia is fun.
I tried to read its Google Docs pages, but they glitched up or were set to a private view or something, because they wouldn't let me in even when I logged onto my Google Account. It just redirected me to one of those "you do not have access" pages.
It's kind of an important event, so I'm pretty sure people other than me would like to read it in the future as well, but I can't get any text to display, and I don't know Google Docs well enough to work around it. Can you do something to free up the pages for anyone to see?
I don't have direct control over those documents, but I've already offered to help the one who does to get them back up and running in a new, more stable location. The trouble is, I have about a hundred other things competing for my attention and I am a terrible, terrible procrastinator, so I'm not sure when that will actually happen. Rest assured that it will eventually, though. It's important to me, too.
~Neshomeh, who is really only an admin on the wiki and her own sites and does not have magic powers over all Google Docs. ^_~
Your information is a bit more specific than mine. Kudos!

It starts on 1 April. The power is down for two days before the Doctor shows up, so that's more or less the third day (3 April). The power begins going back on on the 4th of April, but will be pretty shoddy.
The Doctor and Clara show up in FicPsych to be Neuralysed, along with (I presume) the other Canons in the other interludes.
And, derp, I forgot about the neuralyzations. Depending on what kind of story this ends up being, I may or may not cover that in detail, though. I'm still figuring out where this is going. {= )
