What do I look like, Moffat's successor? Oh no.

I am much worse than that.

I am the stuff of Moffat's nightmares.

Joking aside, I'm glad you liked it. Errors are now fixed, and as for the Aviator's ultimate fate...

Well, I think everyone can infer what happened next.

I apologize for my ex-partner's letter. Shouldn't have told him what happened, he threw a tantrum and wrote the letter impulsively. He's already calmed down, and he's kinda sorry for acting on anger. He also promised he won't carry on his threat, and in fact I doubt he would even be able to do something this evil. (Still couldn't get him to apologize fro that though - keeps saying he resigned for a reason)

So please please don't antagonize him? Nikki and I are doing our best to keep him from doing anything rash, and some of the answers he received are kinda getting on his nerves. Well, he did need the well-placed dopeslap they are, but... Oh, I'm not good at this kind of stuff.

Still, he has a point. He kinda took it personal due to something that happened before he was recruited - not saying more 'cause it's, well, his call if he wants to tell - and hearing of what happened to my friends kinda got him, but I do agree that sending that Legendary to them was out-of-line and yes, I know that some of you won't agree. I don't care.

Now excuse me, but I've got a rather desperate Intern Alex Dives here and I have to find a way to explain to him that her sister is considered a criminal without making him more broken than he already is. Anyone telling that to his face is going to get their console's mission alert set to the Rick Roll song. Permanently.

[So... nothing like having my old ex-self-insert throw a tantrum to spark an interesting RP. I sparked the Blackout in a similar way, and I am not sorry.]

Before you ask, I am out of the bacta tank with (mostly) regrown skin, and Medical is working on grafts for what the tank was unable to finish. Thank you for your concern period backup um delete? AUGH, forget it.

My apologies for that mess, I am stuck dictating this as I'm currently bedridden and not able to move much of anything right now.

Oh, so you just stop talking to get the period, okay. Backup. Backup! Delete!

Augh, again, I am sorry.

Moving on to the main part of your message, I didn't see anyone raising a stink over the Flowers' treatment of agents when Rina and I were sent into Rose Potter and Rina—still a child by human standards—was essentially killed. Sure, everyone was all 'ooh, look at the new Time Lord!' but not one of you raised any objections to sending her and myself (then a rookie agent barely into my first week) into a six-part Legendary with no backup, that culminated in my partner getting hit with a puncturing curse that left her entrails all over the floor, then subsequently having to regenerate because our primary remote activator had been broken in the fight with Rose and I would have been unable to get her to Medical in time to save her.

But no. Now, because Rina has snapped, and stolen a TARDIS, suddenly everyone is interested in our case. Yes, I realized she was starting to go insane, and maybe if I'd been more adamant about her going to FicPsych, none of this would have happened. But while I am not entirely blameless, from things I picked up on, she was never quite stable to begin with, I don't think. She alluded to being locked up in a mental hospital once before and when I questioned her further on the subject, she became hostile and refused to say any more on the matter. As best I can figure, it was not a pleasant experience for her and one she was not eager to repeat.

Her refusal to go to FicPsych was ultimately her decision, and while—while it is reg-grettable [sobbing noises]

No, no, delete that, delete that!

...

While it is regrettable, and I miss her a lot... There is nothing we can do, I'm afraid, but hope she comes back. Emiranlanoamar taught her well, possibly too well. From what I understand, she's beyond tracking now.

As for your threat against the Flowers, I am quite frankly appalled that you would go to such extreme lengths, especially for someone you don't even know. Perhaps you should seek assistance at FicPsych so you don't end up like my partner.

Yours,

Agent Zeb, DMS

Oh, wah wah wah.

So some agents took on a Legendary Badfic and had a bad time of it, did they? And what, exactly, about the word 'Legendary' made you think that wouldn't happen?

I don't remember anyone kicking up a fuss when I was KILLED in a Legendary Badfic, when my partner had to DIVE INTO MANDOS TO GET ME BACK.

So quit whinging.

Speaking as someone who lost a partner in the past, and as someone who met Rina in person early this year, I figured it would be worth providing a few choice words regarding this matter, both concerning the state of things and in response to your letter.

With respect to the incident itself, and Rina's subsequent departure, I agree to some extent that the assignment of a Legendary Badfic to a team operating without backup, be it from the DIA or from another team, was a questionable decision at best. I must note, however, that this isn't the first time this has happened - and yes, unfortunately, I speak from experience i.e. being forced to watch my partner [bleep]-ing die in front of me, in a manner so horrific that MTV wouldn't have aired it, and not being able to do anything to save him to top it off! Things like this can and will happen, even if agents are fully prepared. Rina and Zeb had more than enough preparation thanks to both sporking a different Legendary Badfic (which left behind a mess which I, my partner, and five other agent teams helped to clean up), and over thirty other missions besides, including one with a friend of mine from the DF and his partner into one of Cori Falls' fics. And yet, well, this happened. My heart goes out to everyone who knew Rina on a personal level and are impacted by their loss. In the meantime, I implore any agents unfortunate enough to have been assigned a Legendary Badfic to exercise caution on the highest level during the mission into it, and be prepared for worse than the worst at all times during such an endeavor.

As for your letter, on the other hand... I literally cannot imagine a more inappropriate and insensitive response to this situation. Literally. Cannot. I can understand that the Flowers were not entirely blameless, and that the assignment of "Little Miss Mary" to Rina and Zeb is disproportionate with respect to the latter's reporting her violation of the PPC protocol! But it came to my attention recently that Rina refused to seek psychiatric help while she still had the chance, and that she also stole the TARDIS that she used to escape HQ. I was not able to get the details of why Rina took this path, but I can't condone her actions in the aftermath of the mission. I don't mean to be demeaning, not by any means - I have the highest level of respect for Rina and her partners. But I was able to recover precisely because of the actions of the Flowers and the staff of the PPC HQ, and refusing to seek those who are willing to extend a helping hand is not a gesture I would endorse for the safety of not only Rina herself, but for others around her as well! From what I read, she was very troubled prior to the LMM incident, and if she ever comes back to HQ in the state that she was back then, this mentality will surely continue unless she reaches out the way I did.

In short, Rina will be missed by many, including myself, but I hope other agents could learn from this. The arguments that have been spawned by the LMM incident have been many, but it's worth realizing that the whole situation isn't exactly as one-sided as it may seem.

Finally, regarding your threat of violence against the Flowers... What. The. Buck. That is by far the most absurd and ridiculously ignorant response I've ever seen in my life! As noted above, the Flowers' decision to send me to FicPsych for treatment was one that ultimately helped me in the long term, and in general, I can attest to the fact that even if some of HQ's decisions aren't necessarily sensible, it's because of them that we are even able to function as agents in the first place, even if there influence is indirect! They were the ones who founded the PPC, they're the ones who help those who need help like I did, and they're the ones who ensure that the PPC continues to function both as an organization and as a community. One very notable agent leaving HQ on bad terms, partly due to her own decisions rather than the decree of her higher-ups, is no grounds for war against the Flowers by any means. And if, by some antonym of a miracle, you decide to follow through with your threat... well... Let's just say that my Rainbolt, along with plenty of other implements from more than a few of my colleagues, will have your name on it in short notice.

Sincerely, your Number One Greatest Ace Pilot in All Of Humanville,
Rayner Bowerman Blitzkrieg the 20 Percent More Awesome, DMS

Former Agent Turbo:

Although I do not personally know the individuals involved in these recent controversies, I have heard a great deal about the events as of late. I have, however, done some research into the matter, and I believe your intentions here are entirely out of line.

Now, while I can relate to the pain your companion must be going through in the loss of her friend, I must remind you that Agent Dives understood the risk of this job. She has not only completed, but publically released mission reports for a variety of continua, including the infamous Rose Potter (which is a fiasco in and of itself - Dives is no stranger to controversy, but I digress). She has already completed a mission of Legendary status - and not only did she complete it, she came out stronger than before. With such a track record of success, who would be a better choice for a mission of the same caliber? Dives had already proven to be up to the task, after all.

According to the declassified report released recently, the Legendary-status mission "Little Miss Mary" had actually been completed at the time of the incident. Although Agent Zeb was wounded in action, he made it back to Medical safely. Your assertion that she was unfit to complete the mission falls short when you consider that she had already succeeded. Her subsequent actions of breaking into a DoSAT storage lockup and stealing highly-sensitive technology is completely unjustified, and your expectation of a rescue team is, quite frankly, preposterous. This is not the rescue of an agent - it is the capture of a thief and a renegade.

In response to your terroristic threat of a "daisycutter", I have reported this correspondence to the Department of Internal Affairs. The jobs we do carry great responsibility, and if you are not able to handle the conditions? You should not be allowed to meddle in the affairs of these worlds.

If we ever meet, rest assured that I will have a multitude of ways to counteract any violent intentions you may have towards our employers.

Regards,
Bosh'Guk, Ogre Magi of the Stonemaul Clan

Former Agent Turbo,

Firstly, let it be known that Internal Affairs is investigating Agent Dives' case as per procedure. An agent has deserted the organization, stolen a valuable piece of technology during her escape, and is no doubt interfering with a Word World as we speak. The crimes Agent Dives is charged with are severe and carry the possibility of expulsion from the PPC if ever she is apprehended. There is no rescue team to retrieve her. This is a manhunt. You are welcome to participate in it if you so wish-- if you know of a way to track a renegade TARDIS commanded by an expert and paranoid pilot in a massive Word World please let us know.

Secondly, why this particular case? You don't seem particularly concerned with the twenty-odd other agents that went insane last week, or the fifteen the week before that. Furthermore, I will have you know that Agent Dives has obstinately refused to seek treatment for her stress problems. What were we supposed to do? Arrest her and force her to go to FicPsych as she kicks and screams and rages against us? Tie her down as the Nurses cram pills down her throat? The Flowers expect agents to use the services available to them in order to avoid slipping into insanity. If said agent completely refuses to seek treatment and embraces a self-destructive behaviour, there is nothing we can do except stop them when they will snap. Unless you suggest that every agent submits to a quasi-Orwellian surveillance program to monitor their mental health, we can only continue to promote FicPsych's services and stop agents who have crossed the line.

Thirdly, let it be known that DIA takes every threat of violence against PPC personnel very seriously. If you act, you will be stopped.



Inspector Ananda Chandra, Department of Internal Affairs

Dear (Former) Agent Turbio,

My partner and I did not have the pleasure of meeting Agent Dives, but I have read of her exploits. Whatever mission there may be to help her, Jesse and I will take part in it. These Flowers do not seem like capable rulers to me.

Salutations!
I'll be frank since I've no patience for claptrap now. You don't seriously expect sentient flowers to understand what's going on in the average agent's brain as they slog through badfic after badfic after badfic, do you? They don't even make an attempt to understand. Frankly, the conditions here are bad and any sensible cop would have already brought the Flowers That Be before a court for their negligence.

Even if the Flowers don't ignore this — they might, who knows — what do you suggest to do? Rina picked up a TARDIS and up-and-vanished. She's on a Time-and-Space machine without a tracker. How the [censored] are we supposed to find her? Admittedly, I'd like to find her very much, but thankfully Navare dropped a Bind on me before I did something stupid.

So, please, don't go around making the situation worse, OK?
