Given that the mercs would let on that they were at least somewhat wary of the Displaced and what they were capable of, he would steer away from using his power, concerned that it would scare them off or breed distrust even if it did force them to give him information.

Instead, after pinpointing which of the mercs were more sympathetic to the Displaced, he would contact one of them via neural implant -- not as part of a job, but off-hours so to speak. He would reveal that he was a Displaced and, now that he knows the merc groups are all aware of each other to some degree, would ask if they had any information about which other merc groups were based in New Amsterdam -- and what their purview was.

He figures there must be a reason why all the drop-offs have been in NA, which is his thought process for this line of questioning. Would this get him anywhere?

Thanks for the help!
