The mercenaries' opinions on the Displaced tend to vary, just as the general public's does. However, some of the mercs do seem to think the Displaced are trouble, though they won't say why outright. Some even seem a little afraid of them. There are rumors among the mercs about what the Displaced are capable of, some of it realistic and some not so much. Maybe the mess the Displaced made of that kidnapping mission has gotten around through word of mouth?

As for eavesdropping, he won't find much information there. The mercs tend to be tight-lipped around strangers, and so most of what he'll hear is the general sort of grumbling among coworkers. It is pretty clear that the different mercenary crews are aware of one another and gossip about each other, however. Apparently these guys aren't huge fans of the mercenaries that work for Pulsar. They tend to be dirtier and more underhanded on their jobs, and a few of the people Jack will overhear take issue with that, whether because they're afraid that will bring more scrutiny on their own work or just because they don't think those sort of tactics are necessary.

If he wants more sensitive, in-depth information, his best bet might be to grease the wheels so to speak, whether that be through his power or other means.
