Erm... I'm more into classical, so this probably won't work, but... how about The Witches' Ball? Found at:

I just think it's so intense and lovely, and shows also the elegance of the assassin... ♪
Yeah, sorry, no good at this sort of thing...
I think I talked about this a few months back... by

But I always associate "The Greatest Show Unearthed" by Creature Feature with the PPC. Whenever I hear it, I envision a group of Agents putting on a grotesque carnival of sorts about what they do. We certainly have access to enough Cursed Fairgrounds.
Also, I third Tank!.
I was trying to make one a while back. by

The idea was a soundtrack for a PPC mission using (almost) all-soundtrack music, especially from popular continua. I only have ten so far:
1. Prologue - John Williams - Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone [Welcome to HQ]
2. Concerning Hobbits - Howard Shore - LotR:FotR [Meet the Agents]
3. The World - See-Saw - .hack//Sign Original Soundtrack [The World - things aren't well with it]
4. The Knight Bus - John Williams - Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban [The console goes off! It's a mission!]
5. To Lands Unknown - Sleepy Emp - Chrono Symphonic [Off into the Word World]
6. Go on Through - Afro-Celt Sound System - Further in Time [Enduring the badfic]
7. Rock Anthem for Saving the World - Martin O'Donnel, Michael Salvatori - Halo Original Soundtrack [Moving in for the kill]
8. Listen Here - Eddie Harris - House M.D. Non-Album Tracks Vol. 2 [Reading the charge list]
9. Robinton's Whistle Tune II - Mike Freeman & Tania Opland - Masterharper of Pern [Triumph! Celebrate!]
10. "Aslan's Theme" - from WonderWorks' Chronicles of Narnia made-for-TV series [A sense of satisfaction and that all is well. Coda to track 4. Repeat.]
I think the only one not affiliated with a canon is the Afro-Celt Sound System one. The title and lyrics are appropriate, though.
What I feel this mix lacks right now is something to accompany the kill itself. It should be percussive and upbeat without being too loud, fairly short, and I've preferred mostly instrumental works with a few exceptions. Any suggestions?

"Tank!", definitely. And/or the Ghostbusters theme. by

I mean, I might be a shameless Cowboy Bebop fan, but either of them would fit for our main theme pretty much perfectly. We could even slightly PPC-ify the latter's lyrics. "I ain't 'fraid of no Sue..." For Emergencies, March of Cambreadth would work for the Agents' mindsets. "Guard your women and children well, send these bastards back to hell! We'll teach them the ways of war, they won't come here any more! Close your mind to stress and pain, fight till you're no longer sane... let not one damn cur pass by! HOW MANY OF THEM CAN WE MAKE DIE?!"
Not sure exactly where we'd fit it, but I'd be fond of using The Battle Cry of Freedom if we could find a spot for it. For some reason, I can see "Don't you forget about me" as the song for retiring/recently deceased Agents. Maybe I'm just in a weird mood. New recruit theme could be the main Morrowind theme, it's always given me the feeling of discovering a new 'verse, with all sorts of unexpected challenges and experiences ahead of you. And another weird one from me- the Yarrow's plans to infect the PPC with Macroviruses set to "Be Prepared".
That's all I can think about music-wise for now, but I'll post here with other ideas as I think of them. With the September thing, I'll see if it's possible. Not entirely sure.
