They're just insane more in the "Religious fanatic"/"Knight templar"/"Crusader" way than in the "gibbering lunatic" way.

Just how big are the halls of the PPC?
Are they big enough to fit, say...
A Space Marine in full power armour?
Just curious, is all.
Honest. -
Now you've got me curious. by

Planning on having a Space Marine agent? I'm not sure how compatible they'd be with most other agent types, but it'd be interesting.

I would assume the designers would have allowed for all normal species types. Your average Space Marine is about 8 feet tall with power armor. 9 feet tall with Tactical Dreadnought (Terminator) armor. Probably would have to stoop, though.

It seems to me that the halls ought to be as wide as is best for the situation. If it would be funny for the Marine (and, by the way, I know of at least three canons offhand that use that same terminology, all of which have different sizes of armor. Just saying.) to get stuck, he/she would. If it would just slow down the plot/action, he/she wouldn't.
Really, it mostly comes down to balancing the Rules of Funny, Drama, and Awesome, with the specific balance varying between different authors and stories. -

That should give you a clue as to which canon.
I apologise for not realising the generic-ness (genericity? genericality?) of the terms when I first posted the question. -
Oh, that space marine. I know. by

which chapter? and aren;t they about 7 foot all? although not sure how much. and assume next you will ask about terminator and dreadnaughts, right?
p.s. which chapter do you like? I like SW. -
Eight, actually, and that's without the armour. by

Maybe an Imperial Fist or a Dark/Blood Angel, since they strike me as the most stoic of a VERY stoic lot.
And no, no terminators or dreadnaughts, barring severe injury.
I'm actually considering one as one of my PPC agents, teamed with a Genki Girl.
If I ever get permission, anyway...
It's a long way off...
PS: I'm not really sure. I will definitely need to do the research, as it's been a while since I actually thought about it. -

*is sad*
A space wolf woudl be useful in sniffing out sues. although, interesting. Any idea why a space marine would be recuited, over say, a gaurdsman? Space marines are mroe monks than true agents, and well, are usually not insane. -

There is something inherently amusing about an 8 foot tall butch soldier with fanatical dedication being teamed up with a hyperactive anime 13 year old with a permanent sugar rush.
There is also something wrong with my l key. -
