Honestly, I don't feel having someone step in to her shoes is a good idea. The character has been set up for a fall.<br/><br/>My vote would be for her to be moved to an NPC to have her killed off at some point during/after the first mission. I Mean, once the mission starts she tries to set up the team or something and is killed somehow, leaving all imagination in the hands of you guys.<br/><br/>Point is, the casting can be done while we do the first mission.
