This could work yep. The only thing it that it would need to behave like the chat would, to be able to easily replace it with the chat feature when you manage to get AjaxIM working. Which means that the message he receives would be presented as a chat log history, always visible, and non-blocking (it would be always there, hitting the "reply" button would trigger the relevant part of the mission script, but it would not block the user from performing the actions he wishes to do).

Yup, would be good to have an estimation of the time it will take to implement the placeholder, and how much time it would take to replace it by AjaxIM afterwards. Would help to make the arbitration here.
