This was a pretty good mission, but (at the risk of sounding like a broken record) some advance warning that you're going to post would be greatly appreciated. One look-through just isn't enough to catch every possible error, and if I know that you're planning on posting soon, I'd make sure to give it another look ASAP.
That said, this has been a good mission. Even though this mission juggled five Agents (gasp!), they did not get lost in the multitude of characters. And thanks loads for avoiding major spoilers for those of us who (like myself) only watch the anime.
As for the errors:
1) Eren Yager got there first, bit down on her tail and pulled hard enough to send her into the floor.
Unless you're implying that E.V.L. phased through the floor, that should be "onto the floor," not "into."
2) Whoa Nelly
You need a comma between these words.
3) “Ohhh. Heichou, Captain… I get it now! First time I’ve seen fangirl Japanese make a mini.”
There is a bit of punctuation missing:
"Ohhh. Heichou: 'Captain'… I get it now!"
4) Regenerate like a son of a b***h, single weak point on the back of their neck, I know these things, I’ve read the manga.
Replace that last comma with a period or a colon.
5) from the Pathfinder continuum
Italicize "Pathfinder," since it is the name of a continuum.
6) Valon shuddered. “This… could be a problem. I’m acrophobic, meaning I’m pretty much earthbound for this entire mission—if you want me to be coherent, anyway. I’m not comfortable being more than my own height away from solid ground, and 3DMG gets a lot further than that.
You forgot to close the quotes.
7) Wait… An accent over the e? How did the author do that?
I mentioned this during betaing, but apparently you missed it: There is no context to this. Where did the fic have an accented E?
8) The Sue proceeded to explain how the parade had come to be, involved a lengthy description of the event and a tale of two lovers.
I understand what you meant, but the wording is just the tiniest bit awkward. There are three possible fixes:
a) The Sue proceeded to explain how the parade had come to be, which involved a lengthy description of the event and a tale of two lovers.
b) The Sue proceeded to explain how the parade had come to be and included a lengthy description of the event and a tale of two lovers. (Note that there is NO comma.)
c) The Sue proceeded to explain how the parade had come to be, including a lengthy description of the event and a tale of two lovers.
9) Also, why the oral exchange of bodily fluids, I do not understand why mammals do that.
Please replace the comma with a semicolon or question mark.
10) I can understand how surviving a Titan attack would give you A lot more self esteem, but...
"Self-esteem" is hypenated.
11) Valon nodded in agreement, and paged the Department of Redundancy Department.
Am I missing something? Why did he page the DRD?
12) “No no, not in front of me!”
Please put a comma between the two "no"s. And this is a stylistic suggestion, but please add a third "no"; it sounds more natural to my ears: "No, no, no! Not in front of me!"
13) “No way, I’m not getting separated from Valon again.”
Please replace that comma with a semicolon.
14) “Excuse me, I am an arachnid.”
Please replace the comma with a period or a semicolon.
