This puzzle was made for round two of Agent's Puzzle Agency Championship. I hope you enjoy it!

• In this puzzle you will shade some pentominoes and draw a loop through the centers of some cells. The 3x3 cages are clones: shaded cells and line shapes are replicated in the same position in each cage.
• In each row and column with clues, two sets of clues (left/right for rows and above/below for columns) are provided. One clue set consists entirely of 'Loop clues' and the other of 'Pentomino clues' (both defined below), to be deduced by the solver. All given clue sets are complete, but are not necessarily in order. An asterisk represents any number of clues (possibly zero).
• Loop: Draw a loop which travels vertically and horizontally through the centers of some cells without branching or crossing itself. 'Loop clues' indicate the lengths of straight line segments (i.e. the number of cell edges crossed by straight segments).
• Pentominoes: shade some cells to form pentominoes in the grid. Pentomino shapes cannot be repeated in the grid, where rotations and reflections are considered the same shape. Pentominoes may not touch each other, not even diagonally. 'Pentomino clues' indicate the lengths of contiguous shaded cells.
• The loop must travel straight through any pentomino cells it visits.
