Or maybe she got recruited before the Reorganisation, and hasn't caught up to the fact that the PPC's days of rolling in currency are over.
Is it ok to make a Mandalorian Agent not take bleeprin? I know this is generally a Bad Idea, but I think it's plausible for the following reasons:
1.The Agent in question is a Mandalorian mercenary. As such she really doesn't care about the universes in questions, just the credits.
2. If something occurs which DOES offend her, such as violations of the Mandalorian code or the Author attacks Mandalorians/Mandalorian warriors, she goes completely berserk.
Thoughts?
I think that it will be fine if she doesn't. Mandalorian assassins work to supress their feelings don't they? And if she really doesn't care then there she wouldn't need bleeprin.
Shoot staight and run fast
My agents don't bother with Bleepka and instead hit the actual hard stuff, though I have no idea if that's kosher according to Mandalorian law.
Bleeprin isn't mandatory. A lot of agents appreciate its effects, but many get by fine without it. Example from the DBS: Agent Paddlebrains ODed on it during training, and on one occasion Agent Trojie threw a lot of Bleepsinthe down Agent Paddlebrains's throat in lieu of retcon, but aside from that, neither of them really use the stuff.
Also, as mentioned, there really aren't any credits to be had.
And she tends to try and encourage her younger partner to not take it either. It's just a matter of choice, I think. If she has a different method of dealing with fanfic trauma, she doesn't need bleeprin. Some Agents just like it.
She knows that PPC Agents tend to not really get paid all that much, if ever, right? Due to the fact that the PPC generates little to no revenue for itself?

It was that or be killed.
It's just heavily used since it's beneficial to Agent sanity.
After all, there weren't any Bleep products in the Original Series until later on, since it was an OFU creation.
... we had to settle for good ol' fashioned bleach and alcohol. And sporks. Those were popular. I can't tell you how many eyeballs I went through when I first started the job.
I feel like a crotchety old-timer. All shall fear my dementia-induced ramblings!
My agents never take bleeprin, or bleepka.
It's their headache; they've got to live with it.
