Primary Objective - If making a rescue attempt, discard hand (minimum 7 cards) and select a lost soul in opponent’s Land of Bondage. Opponent must discard hand or holder rescues that lost soul. Battle continues as a battle challenge.

3/3, seems breakable!
1. If I have less than 7 cards in hand, am I still forced to discard my hand? Or am I unable?
2. Can I select a LS in opponent's LoB even if I didn't discard my hand, or if I discard less than 7 cards? Sentence 1 appears to have 2 separate mandatory abilities (read: Not a cost-benefit ability). Seems like I should be able to select a LS even if I don't discard or if I discard less than 7.

3. BONUS QUESTION: If I copy Primary Objective with Mimicking Miracles, obviously the "If rescuing" portion doesn't apply. However, does the "Battle continues as a battle challenge" part apply? It seems to be a separate ability that is not dependent on Sentences 1 and 2.
