What's the protocol on handling canons being actively killed by the story? In the second paragraph of the work I'm trying to make into my third mission, it relates that "[Sokka] had been killed in a show of base brutality."
Well, if the canon's not actually meant to be dead, and is being killed in the background, I'd suggest one or both of your agents taking a detour and saving said canon. But if worse comes to worst, just get the corpse to Medical quickly.
Because as I said, this happens in the second paragraph of the story. So it kind of comes at you right out of the gate.
I figured that was what would be the case (I really don't like this story, either. Sokka's death, along with the complete derailment of the entire finale of the show, is only serving as a momentary excuse to launch into full-blown Royal Family incest. YECH).
Canons can be resurrected if killed when they're not supposed to be. The Disturbing Acts of Violence Department covered this one once. The explanation for it is that the Canon character only thinks they're dead, but if the cause of death is fixed, they can be resurrected and put back into their homeworld as if nothing had happened.
... so speed and efficiency might just save the day :) And then you hang onto the resurrected canon somewhere, let the story continue, get all the charges, and then reintroduce them after exorcism and neuralysing or SUe slaying or whatever :D
