Ahh, I was assuming that an intentionally skipped blue statement was equivalent to "I will not answer that at this time", something for which even a yellow statement is too much.

I am far more careful with the Gold than the Red, actually.
Used by a piece or a player, it's effectively a statement of belief. Used by the Territory Lord...it becomes far more.

I will answer these when I'm properly awake. I can't risk messing up on a Red.

Homura Akemi woke up in a hospital bed like she had so many times before, but this time was different, this time she had nothing left. No weapons, no grief seeds, no hope. All exhausted for nothing. And in the last moments Kyubey told her what she most feared, that she was the reason that Madoka was growing more powerful and her witch was growing more terrible.
Kyubey was right, she couldn't save Madoka and all she brought was suffering. She checked her soul gem, it was almost black. Homura knew she could save anyone, but she wouldn't let herself become a monster. She crushed her soul gem in her hand.
Homura Akemi woke up in a hospital bed like she had so many times before, but this time was different because today she was finally able to leave. In a little over a week she'd be able to school again, maybe she'd even make some friends.

It is possible to Summon a Servant to fight Walpurgisnacht without shattering the walls of reality or the mind/body/soul of anyone important with resources that Homura could access without violating "gold" conditions.

Hmm...hat's actually a really complex issue. Define Servant...that should help me provide a red.

Kamijou stumbled through the gates at the front of the school. No one paid much attention, though they looked concernedly at the boy who had only recently recovered from serious hospitalization. He didn't have his crutches with him, but still managed to avoid falling down, so everyone remained warily cautious — ready to aid him if necessary, but not embarrassing him by invading his personal space.
One girl, however, approached him with a ready smile, green hair waving in the breeze. She leaned close and whispered a morning greeting before moving to surreptitiously help support him.
Homura watched all this from an upstairs window, drearily considering the implications this would have on Sayaka's stability. It had happened far too often, and Homura had yet to figure out a way to snap the younger magus out of her grief spiral.
In fact, from the way that the boy seemed to be hugging Hitomi — in public no less — the Sayaka of this loop was going to be worse than usual.
That was when she realized she could hear a faint screaming, as she watched Hitomi collapse to the ground in a pool of blood.
---
Most of the students scattered immediately when they saw the assault, and those who didn't see were dragged along by their friends. Only the foolishly brave remained to try to stop the bizarre assailant.
Naturally that number included Sayaka.
"Kamijou! What are you doing? What— What did you do to Hitomi?" she screamed, eyes frozen on the bloody face of the boy she had given her soul to heal. He didn't look too healthy right now.
Instead, he continued shambling forward, seemingly now focused on the blue-haired girl in front of him. Sayaka continued to try to reason with him, but some primal, instinctive fear kept her stumbling backwards even as she talked. It was only when she saw Hitomi start to drag herself to her feet that Sayaka lost her own footing, stumbling to the ground.
"Hitomi!" twin voices shouted out. Sayaka, confused, managed to twist her head to see Madoka rushing out of the school building behind her. That was enough distraction for Kamijou to finally lurch forward, grabbing her arm in a deathy strong grip and leaning his face forward, ichorous jaws opening wide directly in front of her eyes.
---
'Tomoe-san!'
Mami's head jerked up at the sudden, urgent telepathic call from the rival magical girl. She seemed to continually interfere in Mami's business, yet somehow always retained a sense of emotional distance. That made the surge of panic that she felt right now extremely disconcerting.
'What is it, Akemi-san?' she replied, keeping her voice calm.
'He— It— Attack! Front gate!' The other girl seemed so agitated that she couldn't even form a coherent sentence.
Mami frowned, but stood up and made her way out into the hallway. School hadn't started yet, so she could take the time to determine the cause of this strange disturbance. As she walked through the school, she started to notice an unsettling feeling among the students she passed, many of whom had nervous looks in their eyes, and were quietly whispering to others while keeping watch out.
Mami increased her pace, finally reaching a corner where she could see the front of the school grounds.
Below on the lawn, students were running in all directions, clearly in a panic, but with no obvious cause. In the distance she could see— yes, Sayaka, seated on the ground while a young boy charged at her. As he grabbed her, there was a sudden flash of light. Sayaka had actually transformed, in public!
And then, a fraction of a second later as the boy leaned down into her face, she simply vanished. Slight movement showed Sayaka standing next to Homura several yards away, Sayaka holding her arm in pain. They quickly dashed back into the building and out of Mami's immediate sight.

Kyouko kicked the body off the end of her spear, leaning back against the alley wall. Today sucked.
It had started out pretty nice. She'd gone out this morning to grab some snacks, dodging wandering drunks along the way, and contemplating whether she'd get in trouble for crushing the car that had its alarm blaring non-stop.
In the little convenience store down the street from the hotel where she was currently crashing, she hadn't even had to use any of her usual distractions; no one was at the register, or anywhere else in the store that she could see. There was a bit of a spill on the floor, so maybe they were out back getting a mop and bucket.
Eh, screw it. She was feeling generous given all the goodies she'd grabbed. She slapped a couple hundred-yen coins on the counter and walked out the store nibbling on a caramel cone while stuffing the pocky and other snacks into her pockets.
Another drunk got shoved aside on her way back. Honestly! Didn't they usually have the decency to pass out at 3 AM and not bother people in the mornings?
It took her twenty minutes of flipping through channels back in her room before she noticed the alert notices warning about zombies. Really? Zombies? Who takes that kinda stupidity seriously?
She sighed in exhaustion, remembering all the events that eventually convinced her. Still, she couldn't leave Mami to clean up this kind of mess on her own, so there was no helping it.
With that she leapt to the roof and continued her trek towards the school.
---
Sadly, Kamijou was not the sole infected who entered the school, though he was certainly the most obvious. It took some time before people really glommed onto the idea that the shambling bodies roaming the school grounds really were zombies; far too many people died due to not recognizing the true threat.
On the other hand, Homura was nothing if not efficient once given a course to pursue. Particularly one that involved large amounts of dakka. Homura had dakka to spare.
She kept a wary eye on Sayaka, who apparently had had her arm bitten in the moments before Homura had extracted her. Luckily she had already transformed, so the bite was shallow, but it seemed to be a constant drain on her healing magic to purify the infection. In the end, Sayaka had asked for her own arm to be cut off to stop the spread of the disease. While Mami was reluctant, Homura was brutally efficient. Madoka's tears were painful, but they'd be more so if Homura had been forced to end Sayaka's life permanently.
Homura's timestop, combined with her Desert Eagle, made short work of clearing out hallways. Mami's ribbons kept people trapped until the group could verify whether they had been bitten. Behind them they left numerous bodies, but far more living than had any right to be in such a disaster.
For the moment they had barricaded themselves in the nurse's office with Madoka's homeroom teacher, Msm. Saotoe. Having heard from Kyouko that she was on her way, they decided to wait until everyone was together before moving on to the next stage.
There was no way Homura would allow Madoka's family to be dragged into this, and no way she'd allow Madoka to worry herself to death over not knowing their fates.
It was time to forge ahead into the city proper, and purify the world of this plague.
For this non-Canon Omake by Kinematics, we have...

For Homura, Mami, Madoka and Sayaka its an action&thriller like the HotD Manga.
For Kyoko its like Shawn of the dead.
Heh, yep. I should go back sometime and do a proper omake for the Shaun of the Dead crossover cast list I put together, though.
I can try and respond to that.
That leaves a ton of wiggle space, so here's some follow up questions.
Living objects can enter Homura's shield in one loop and exit in another loop unchanged.
Sentient entities can enter Homura's shield at one time and then exit at another time unchanged.
Sapient entities can enter Homura's shield at one time and then exit at another time unchanged.
An object that contains a soul can enter Homura's shield at one time and then exit at another time unchanged.
It is possible for an entity to be sentient without having a soul.
It is possible for an entity to be sapient without having a soul.
A Soul Gem that is not connected to a body is sentient.
A Soul Gem that is not connected to a body is sapient.
Soul Gems can enter Homura's shield at one time and then exit at another time unchanged.
Sentient entities that have physical containers composed of biological molecules can enter Homura's shield at one time and then exit at another time unchanged.
A Servant is a copy of the soul of a Heroic Spirit, summoned into the modern era by a magus to serve as an extraordinarily high quality familiar. Servants utilize an artificial, physical body that is sustained by the mana of the magus who summoned them, who is known as a Master. Servants are often more powerful than their Master.
An entity is classified as "living" if it is both sapient and sentient and has a soul.

Shaun of the Dead still managed to kill off the majority of its cast over the course of the film.

I know, still the tone is more comedic and Kyoko literally renacted the scenes.

It's time for a witchy truth!(Higure's favourite.)
Homura has encountered witches based off of the Daedraic Princes, and found magical girls weilding weapons that behaved like and/or looked like Daedraic artifacts

Homura's pre-March 16th personal history has changed.

I still wonder if Homuras new soul gem and the "slots" in the circle in it (with only Homura icon filled currently) in it are a mechanism that would allow us to take other souls back. Basically for example linking
Kyoukos/Mami/other soulgem with Homuras, so that when Homuras mind/soul/memories travels back, so does Kyouko/etc.
It seems likely that Homura must have tried taking soulgems back with her sometime. The fact she does not do it all the time suggests its either not possible or has not been possible (until perhaps now?).
Homura at this time either has the ability or the means to gain the ability to take one, several, or all of the following with her when she travels back through time: Kyoukos soul, Kyoukos soulgem, Kyoukos mind, Kyoukos memories, Kyoukos physical body.

Homura's pre-March 16th personal history has changed.
Her relationships and social status haven't changed, but retroactive changes to technology and geography, among other things, caused by Wishes made within the loops make certain pre-loop differences inevitable.

Well Higure, I have a blue truth for you that you may like, hope you're doing well.
Higure

Objects with a Soul, Sentience, and Sapience cannot enter Homura's shield in one loop and exit in another loop unchanged.
Soul Gems cannot enter Homura's shield at one time and then exit at another time unchanged.
It is possible for an object to be sentient without having a soul.
It is possible for an object to be sapient without having a soul.
If I haven't made it clear before, however...Red Truths are only guaranteed to be true at the time they are given, with time in this case being relative to the players of Renascence.
In regards to the other Blues, I won't answer them at this time. Explore IC to discover your answers.

Homura has not encountered anything related to the Daedra, outside of Elder Scrolls-related media.
