They've been done a lot. ^^

-Leaflets. <a href="https://docs.google.com/document/pub?id=1EBLBndKzvFSIls
ExiETAZj9Bgm9-oY5Uc5uNryP88">Agent Constance was given one by her father (who was an author who heard about the PPC); one assumes he wrote in and asked for a brochure, which must have caused quite the kerfluffle.

-OFU graduate. Can Yoshis read and write? Do they know of any fiction at all? If so, your Yoshi could have been a student at an OFU. <a href="http://plotprotectors.tripod.com/JAAKSONS/ch1

-Freelance Intelligence work. Send the PPC a badfic of interest, and they might offer you a job. It happened to Architeuthis, and something similar happened to Techno-Dann. Again, this obviously requires knowledge of fanfic.

-Badfic bit part. Can't even count the number of times that's happened.

-Picked up by Intelligence while they're surveying a continuum. This happened to Dassie Hyrax.

-Found a physical door into HQ, like Imbolc, Tango, and Blue. A Yoshi has loads of excuses to be wandering around abandoned castles and the like.

-Glitch. Sort of a plothole, but from the other side: what if a Yoshi is caught in a game glitch? One theory for the PPC's nature is that it occupies the space between canon dimensions, so if a glitch dropped the Yoshi right out of the game, PPC HQ is a good place for it to end up.

-Teleport gone wrong. You can't seriously tell me that no game ever has featured both Yoshis and teleportation.

-Followed an agent home. This is essentially 'badfic bit part' without the requirement for them to be from a badfic. It's not like portals filter out who goes through them!

-Taken home by an agent as a souvenir, in egg form, and then raised in the Nursery. It'd be nice to see a second-generation agent (assuming it saw its abductor as a parent-figure), and to hear from someone raised in the Nursery.

Etcetera, etcetera, etcetera. There's not very many limits on what you can do.
