*high fives* Hopefully this doesn't start a trend, though. Stuff like this really ought to be saved for special circumstances. ^^;
The pony might have been, but considering she went running out of Medical, it was probably some agent who freaked when he saw this crazy humanoid come running at him and bolted. Or maybe there wasn't a pony at all. Who knows? -

Honestly, I'm still surprised that anyone had the guts to take on Rose Potter in the first place, so the fact that it's all done just feels weird. Absolutely beautiful job, on the whole string of things. Normally, I'd say I can't wait to see what you put out next, but I think you've earned a nice, long break.

However, I do see now how the transformation into a Time Lady could be a source of character development rather than a power-up...
There's the body-horror angle. Her mind doesn't expect her body to be different, especially her sensory system.
She'll have to leave her past behind. No one who knew her before, and doesn't now know about the PPC, would believe that this completely different-looking girl is Rina. That includes family, friends...
The possibility of a TARDIS is interesting, but I'm wondering: Does she have to get one? Would she be able to learn how to use it? A Time Lady without a TARDIS might be more interesting to write simply because it hasn't been done very often.
The reality of presumably having regenerations left could change things too. It might mean that in a dangerous situation where somebody's going to die, Rina'd have to step up. Ouch.
Of course regenerations aren't infallible. Destroy the brain, or kill someone very suddenly, and they're probably not coming back. Even worse is the prospect of dying somewhere in a dangerous environment where you wouldn't be found for, say... an hour or so. Oh, you'd die all right--repeatedly. If you couldn't keep your head enough to decide not to regenerate in those circumstances (and does Rina know enough about her new biology to know how she'd even begin doing that?), you'd be in for an exceedingly nasty end. Even if you were rescued halfway through, you'd probably be in serious trouble, with your biology badly messed up.
And then there's the problem of having to deal with other Time Lords... though you seem to have already covered that. :) -
Nah, no TARDIS. by

At least, not unless she somehow acquires one from DoSAT, but that would be silly.
But yeah, basically, the only family she has who knows are her parents and brother. Everyone else? Nope.
She'll be spending a lot of time looking through books on Time Lord physiology. It'll still take a looong time before she adjusts, though. You don't forget eighteen-ish years of being human that fast. And even then, there'll probably be stuff that surprises her. Not to mention, she doesn't have the knowledge to employ her new senses to their fullest. You can't identify different materials by their taste if you've never tasted them before, for example. -
Good luck, then. by

I do think you owe us at least one hilarious scene of a confused Rina trying to control a completely unfamiliar TARDIS, though. :)
Good luck with writing a high-powered Rina; we all know the more powerful the character, the harder they are to handle. Or, well, a potentially high-powered Rina, as she's nowhere near through her how-do-i-shot-web phase. -

“I’ll be damned,” muttered Owen under his breath. “Rookie Zeb actually survived a Legendary badfic. I knew he had it in him when I met him at Rudi’s-- kid’s got an Aura like a Pyroar.” He paused at the end of the hallway. Let’s see... there’s a staircase in front of us... two RCs with odd numbers facing each other on the left... Right. We need to turn right here. He turned the corner and looked at his partner who was sluggishly plodding alongside him. “How about you, Buck? What d’you think about Zebby-Zeb?”
“I don’t know, really. I can’t remember him that well,” replied Buck, “but maybe I was just... falling... asleep...” The Skiddo yawned out the last few words as his eyes closed in preparation for a catnap. The Pokémon ground to a halt in the middle of the Generic Grey hallway, snoring gently.
“Hey now. No falling asleep when there’s a letter to be delivered,” said Owen, poking Buck’s nose with a folded-up sheet of paper. When the Skiddo started moving forward again the Lucario cleared his throat. “Okay. Final check. How does this sound like to you...” Owen squinted at his letter. “Dear Rookie,” he read.
“Sounds condescending.”
“Well, he is a newbie, right? ‘Congratulations on marathoning that mess of a mission. You’ve got Guts-- note the capital G-- and I like that in a ‘mon. I can tell you’re going to go far.'”
“I’m pretty sure he has Intimidate.”
“Quiet, you.”
“Well, you asked me for opinions...”
“Whatever. ‘I’m not sure if you remember this but I offered you a free training session with me when we met at Rudi’s. I’d like to extend that offer again and see what you’re made of. Signed, Owen, DIA.’ Eh? Is it good?”
“Did we really meet him? Was that even canon?”
“What are you even talking about? Of course it’s ‘canon’! You remember, don’t you? Zeb went for a walk with Maxwell and then we followed him and then Victoria hauled us back to Ben and then we had to respond to that Judoon thing...”
“Iunno, I was feeling sleepy back then...”
The Lucario executed the Double Facepaw Manoeuvre and muttered something to the effect of “Never mind.” He briskly marched towards RC 3-Apple-14’s door, crouched, and slid the letter under the door. Owen made his way back to Buck and gave the snoozing Mount Pokémon a quick tap on the horns. “All right, we’re done here. Let’s move.” -

... Hopefully that's enough to fill up the preview space. Some of you, uh, didn't quite do that. ^^; Therefore, I was spoiled sufficiently that I got worried and spoiled myself fully by looking at the interlude first, just to see if I had understood correctly.
I had.
I was initially very concerned about Rina's transformation, considering how this particular plot device has been handled in the past. BUT! I am very pleased to say my concerns were unfounded. Iximaz, please accept my heartfelt congratulations for taking an old idea and making it better, faster, stronger than it was before. You really did your homework, and I found myself laughing several times after I'd finished reading and gone about my business as I realized exactly how long you've been planning this. I am very, very impressed.
My only real issue was the lack of closure for the Potterverse, but since Skarmory's setting up an interlude for just that purpose, I think it'll be okay. And heck, it makes sense. Your agents took a good and proper beating. They can't really be expected to handle it themselves. They've done enough, poor things!
I might suggest building up Rose Potter's growing awareness of the agents a bit more in the last few parts, though. She's pretty angry and confrontational with them when she spots them, but apart from one scene that I can recall (when she's telling the story of the graveyard to the Gryffindors), she hasn't really shown much awareness that anything is out of place in her world up until then, so it comes out of the blue a little.
Other than that, you've shown a great ability for planning things out and properly foreshadowing them, so again, my most hearty congratulations on a job well done! ^^

The non-spoiler part first: hooray, she's dead! I just read 4-6 in four hours (between other things, don't worry), and the way Rose just kept building and building... yeah, that was quite a ride. Eesh.
Also: and here was me thinking one mission a week on Driftwood was high-speed writing...
And the spoilers. I'm gonna hand over to Morgan for this one.
Morgan drummed her fingers on her TARDIS' console, looking between the two messages. The Librarian's note had actually arrived before the Notary's, probably because the Notary had taken the time to add references in triplicate for everything she'd said.
"This is going to be fun for the Reader," Morgan said aloud. "At least I think she's still holding down Topaz Monitor, right? Though she didn't do much with that Ceka woman..."
She trailed off, then glanced around the TARDIS. "Right. No-one here. I need to get myself a companion." She eyed the Librarian's message, then pulled up the ICEP address book. "Dives, Rina... partnered with Zeb. So at least she's got that covered."
Morgan drummed her fingers again, then abruptly closed all three windows and pulled the lever to open the doors. "The D.O.R.K.S.," she muttered as she headed out, "always the D.O.R.K.S. We should've had that thing banned ages back..."
Morgan is available for conversations, and promises not to bite. Unless the Guardsman is mentioned.
And now I have to run. ^_^

She's not gonna take kindly to someone saying "her" Council shouldn't exist. And this is her confrontational incarnation - she has a very hard time backing down from a fight, even when it stems from her own blatant overreactions.
Really, Lily got her spot on when she paired "I don't do scared" with "Your hands are shaking" back in Blackout: Generic Surface.

SPOILERS AHEAD!
I was expecting Rose to fight back because of both her ridiculous overpoweredness and the fact that she seemed to remember her death(s), but... That was definitely surprising. I'd say it's handled pretty well, though. A lot of people would just have written it as "Hey, cool, I'm super speshul with awesome powers now!" Hell, I would probably have written it that way.

I don't quite understand why you decided to make Rina a Time Lady via Zeb and the DORKS. For one thing, I thought the DORKS was basically a portable disguise generator and any changes wore off when you returned to HQ. For another...convenient transformation is oddly convenient. I almost wanna call borderline Sue on Rina, but since she's you and we don't insult authors here, I won't.

Well, I approve of the change. It's grounded in canon, as others mentioned, and as long as there are consequences - I think the interlude's an example - I think the change is fine. Is it special? Definitely. Is it Speshul? I don't think so.

That was my initial response to this whole thing as well. To be honest... I was very against it. The original plan was to have the agents be tortured and forced into FicPsych for a while, but Iximaz said she didn't feel like she could write that comfortably. When she told me she was going to kill off Rina and do this... I basically tried everything in the book to try and change her mind.
However... I have changed my mind on it. I still don't really like it, but I trust Iximaz as an author and I know that she will make it the best story it can possibly be. I've seen some of the things she has planned for Rina in the future, and it's good. To be perfectly clear, this transformation is NOT a good thing as a whole. There are so many problems that come with it. This is the price she has to pay for saving her life. Loss of self, and loss of normalcy. Basically... just wait. I promise that you won't be disappointed.
(Oh, and the Disguise Generator and DORKS change agent biology according to canon. If you're dying and disguised as a Time Lord, you're going to regenerate. No going back. You can become human again with the Disguise Generator, but it's temporary. Time Lord becomes your new default.) -

There are, actually, a few PPC precedents: Tawaki and Tadkeeta. I wouldn't have thought they'd work like that, either, but the disguises are the real deal, even dating back to ToS, when Jay and Acacia became Ents.
I am planning on lampshading the borderline Sue thing in my next mission, by the way. And hey, call 'em like you see 'em! Rina stopped being me quite a while ago, and even if she hadn't, don't hold back, mm-kay? :)

Heck, maybe we could write it together (with my agents happening upon Zeb and volunteering), just to round out the whole damn thing and tie off any remaining loose ends!
As a reward for your bravery, I'd like for Rina to have a scimitar forged from a Skarmory feather and for Zeb to have a Razor Fang! Falchion sends his regards for both. ;) -

Must go check that out; I only finished Part 4...I think it was today? I've been mostly reading them on the bus (and off the bus, too). Many compliments should come your way :) I've also noticed the occasional typo or the like (quite understandable), but reading on a phone on a bus doesn't really lend itself to noting them down. I'm pretty sure Part 4 had a case of 'ws' instead of 'was'; that's probably the easiest to find.
Seriously, Ix, I've been sitting on this for a while now, and you should know: your PPC writing is really very good, and I enjoy reading it (this is for Rose Potter and also for that Tonks' daughter mission you did just before). I mean, RP does start to drag a little in some places, but I think that's mostly to do with the source material. So. Well done. You are awesome, especially for all the Rose Potter missions.

Three gift baskets may or may not show up at Rina and Zeb's RC door.
The first is from Valon: it contains the complete works of Disturbed, Device and Halestorm; the first three volumes of Monster Musume, and a +6 vorpal shovel that he probably pilfered from one of his own game worlds.
The second is from Kala: six pounds of coffee (she forgot that non-arachnid things don't get drunk on it), a pint of her paralytic venom, and the shed shell of one of her pincers.
The last is from Sigma. The only thing in there is a set of RA coordinates in the Mega Man X continuum, and a typewritten note saying "Enjoy your catastrophe."
Sigma probably found out about Rina and Zeb's mission and convinced the other two to help him congratulate them. -

As it was promised, here's the reward for finishing this horrendous voyage:
1) A fully charged Deputy Green Lantern Ring, but that cannot be re-charged, with only one charge and will turn to dust once it's used up.
2) A Kryptonian DNA-based empowering pill from the Injustice: The Regime DCU sub-continuum, increases your physical might by 10,000 times for 24 hours.
May they be of use for all your endeavors, Agents Rina Dives and Zeb... *tips hat and dissappears into the shadows* -

Some numbers, before I read. by

I just finished copying all of the mission parts into one document. This mission is, when all compiled together: 201 pages, and 78,291 words long.
Iximaz, I want you to take a good, long look at those numbers. This mission is longer than The Philosopher's Stone. Iximaz, I want you to look at those numbers, and realize what you have done. You have, essentially, wrote a novel. In a little over a month. This is a major accomplishment.
As I said before, I will be reading all of it tonight, and commenting on it tomorrow. I will be sure to be on the final doc tomorrow to congratulate and discuss how it all went. However, no matter what I think, no matter how well received this mission is, I want you to know how proud of you I am. I envy your speed and skill as a writer, and I look forward to whatever else you write.
Congratulations, Iximaz, on your first novel. -

RPPS took about five days to write and from the day of posting it to today was thirty-five, if I counted right.
All that in forty days? *wanders off, looking a bit stunned* -

Here's a dump truck I "acquired". It is full of Bleeprin. From what I understand you probably need it now.
And by "acquired" I mean borrowed with every intention of returning. But the garage I borrowed it from collapsed when something that was most definitely not the dump truck I was st...borrowing.
Now I will actually go through and read the whole series in the next few days.

Well...I happened to "stumble" upon this tanker of "brain" bleach. Though I must warn you it may have some nasty side effects. Like melting your insides. But it should clear the pain.

The joke was it was real bleach. Also I thought it was the Asprin that was the problem not the Bleach part

The ironic part is that regular bleach doesn't affect me, but Brain Bleach... Eugh. Yeah, I try to stay away from it.

I think I'll just take that tanker someplace safe, like

Sure there is like the Cardiff Rift. Its a Rift in Space and Time. Its not like I steal them from from the places of business or anything. And I certainly don't hire someone to acquire these things for me. Nope not at all.
