I want to have Faith follow up on the warehouse that Cassius gave her information on. Obviously, she tried and failed with surveillance, but she was talking to Ren and Akechi recently about the fact that anybody with that much power and money to erase a paper trail is probably on someone's radar.

Faith is working security in a casino right now, and will be getting recruited based on her high performance to work security for a more prestigious firm. I'd like it to be one that serves one of the gubernatorial candidates of New Amsterdam, one who doesn't mind taking on troubled youths and grooming them. She'll be doing her first test as security for fancier people as one of the short term hires for the silent auction.

I'd like to dovetail these two things together, because my thought with Faith is this: she can expose the Displaced to either this politician she comes to work for, or if possible, to the UNA in hopes of getting in return some of the information about who could have done that with the Warehouse. She'll offer explicitly information on the blue light stuff, and she'll tell them all of what she knows (barely anything tbh) short of the gates and their location. The information she provides on the powers they have and the fact that those powers are all distinct will obviously confirm what they already know based on Rey's interrogation, so they'll know her info is good. (She will NOT immediately identify herself as one of them because she doesn't want to get experimented on and she's not That Stupid.)

I'm not in a BIG HURRY for this, so I don't mind developing it over time, but basically I'm curious about how long it would take and how viable it is, as well as if it would be better for Faith to share this with the gubernatorial candidate (or some other politician) she winds up working security for on-and-off or with a UNA official or if it's even feasible.

(Which involves also the question of whether there are like ... UNA officers at all, basically. Because the way the real military works is that there are officers who run administrative tasks and who manage assignments/etc. — that's done by military members, not by politicians and bureaucrats. So I'm curious about if the UNA has something similar: people who work for the UNA but who are high enough in the ranks to be individuated people, either because they worked up from soldier status or because they entered at that rank. Do they have their own lives? Are they accessible? Presumably some of them liaison with the government officials?)

This is VERY BROAD SPITBALLING so obviously all of this is super flexible but I wanted to explain my goals/intentions/direction as much as possible to make it easier to find a feasible path forward.
