• The soldiers won't understand how she's an ex-soldier herself. Bear in mind that the only military force in this world since the end of World War III was the UNA, and these assignments last for life. All of them being discharged is a highly unlikely and unusual outcome, as there is no historical precedence. Catra will need to go back to the drawing board on this one, as it's unlikely that she's going to be able to convey that information easily to them. Even claiming that she's a mercenary herself who's cut ties with other groups may help!
• We'll add that Catra can already be armed with the knowledge that these soldiers will be without their gear. She's run into them already in the UNA HQ in New Beijing, and seen them at their strongest (while they were on their way out of the base at the end of the mission). Given that this technology is strongly identified as being a part of the UNA, she'll be able to piece together that they'll be without what makes them special. No extra legwork needed here!
• In terms of a backer, it may not hurt for her to see if she can get in with Simone Durcell. While Durcell does work with Pulsar, they have an anti-government stance and they're already building ties with Jason and Loki. We suggest that you hit up Jessi if you're interested in that angle. Otherwise, someone neutral is probably someone more suited to the criminal underground. Trying to get an in with one of the mobs may be a good bet for Catra, especially since they have the money to spend. We don't have a lot of the mafia leadership developed just yet, so there is a lot of developmental space you can use here. Keep in mind that Durcell does overlap with the mob in their motivations, but the mob is underhanded enough to two-time Durcell.
• We'd like to know how she intends to identify someone at Vyonation for this purpose! They aren't the only dealers in information in New Amsterdam. For example, Catra could try to buy the allegiances of the Hi-Jacks, who are a tech savvy hacker gang. She can also try to find someone who left the Hi-Jacks and get them on her side, though this will understandably be much more difficult.
Overall, we do think that a lot of your leads will lead you back to Jessi at this point, and we do think that you have an opportunity to work with her given Catra and Jason's close relationship. If you're not interested in that, that's perfectly fine, but Jason does hold a lot of information of interest to Catra.
