> In the adjoining computer laboratory, Mr Flay finished extracting encoded schematic data from the Bautistamax mainframe. Mr Skinner came back to join him.

These sound familliar. Which source are you cribbing from here (I can think of three...).
> Mr Epitome frowned. “It’s bad news when we send for back-up and the best powerhouse we can field is Visionary.â€Â

That's a little unfair. I have a strong suspicion that Visionary has derailed more villians than anyone else...
Just not directly.
> Sir Mumphrey Wilton scooped up the pile of box files on his desk and dropped them into the waste-paper basket beside it. “There,†he approved. “Done all the necessary paperwork.â€Â

I know this is probably one of my more bizzare ideas, but has Xander's familliar reincarnated?
> “He’s a big softy really.â€Â

> “He’s a feral killing machine backed by the conjoined powers of the Celestian Space Robots and the Destroyer of Tales...â€Â

Yup. That more or less sums up the pro/anti cat arguements.
> “He’s wonderful,†Dancer giggled. “I think he might be the One!â€Â
