Hey other mods! Here comes a Durcell question for you:

In the sim, Jason made contact with Durcell on Loki's provocation. As the monsters die down and the UN begins to bustle again and Durcell makes their statement, Loki will ask Jason to establish contact again via the gangs (The Outlaws to the Hi-Jacks) with the precedent that he has some damning footage on the UNA and will be very willing to provide a sample to see if it aligns with Durcell's current message. Loki will make it clear that he's not about the UN resurrecting another UNA.

If they're able to meet with a couple of reps, Loki will happily pass over a small sample of what was given to him by El of the UNA sending soldiers to die in New Amsterdam with the Judas frying their neural implants, as well as a bit of footage where the Displaced raided the UNA base back in the day of the Morningstar raids. (Even if the latter makes it obvious that he was there.)

Loki'd propose an alliance with him and Jason, and tentatively with the Outlaws and the Hi-Jacks, as he'd be up front about wanting to keep the UNA dismantled. He'd want a more formal audience before he hands over the larger files, and would ask for a secure and anonymous cloud server to forward it on, as well as his name scrubbed from the footage. The video is still tied to his neural implant, after all.

The goal would be to strategically use the footage to keep the anti-UNA sentiment going when they rear their heads again, and encourage companies to keep weapon contracts out of UNA hands and funnel them back to other sources (including both Durcell and Jason). Legally it can be done through proposing some changes in Pulsar's (and possibly others, with Durcell's help) contracts, but if they need an illegal boost they have the option to run weapons back through the gangs.

That said, Loki's probably not too hard to find if Durcell knows where to look in Tempo. He'd also be happy to move from Tempo and back to Pulsar, if needed. Let me know if this sounds feasible for a first step in the door, and how Durcell would take to it!
