1. Nothing new to note about the drug trials, but both Marcos and Cassian would be given the opportunity to sign up for new drug trials. While these won't be immediately metaplot important to the overall game, they would give some insight into how corporations are handling the recent run of monsters. Would you (or Trace, if you're in contact with her!) be interested in this?
Otherwise, this is a good way to get a foot in the door! As a reminder, Joseph Lynch was also connected to Giles Bell as the head of PR for Ibis, so that might be a lead for Cassian to chase.
4. It was over the summer leading up to the September event. Safia will say that she'll try to get in touch with her former coworkers, using various job sites and social media, and will come back and say that a few of those coworkers seem to have gone completely off the grid. All their profiles are gone, as well as any tags that pointed to them. The coworkers who went off the grid all left at the same time for a "really good opportunity" for their futures, while the rest had scattered relocations.
For the people who haven't gone off the grid that Safia could find, they would all say the same thing. They assume that the people who went off the grid are fine and working on something top secret in terms of confidentiality, likely in a contract with the UN.
For the "off the grid" folks, they all have a similar profile: unmarried, excellent in their fields, and willing to take a leap because they don't have a lot of ties to their previous life. They would have been offered this chance for relocation versus being relocated against their wills. One or two of the people that Cassian talks to will be jealous that they were given this chance. If further pressed, they'll say that they don't think they could have taken the offer because of their lifestyle (they're all married), but they wish their work was recognized.
To simplify this:
"Off the grid" scientists: Unmarried, very intelligent, likely to leap at a major scientific discovery because it could further their career. Offered a job for relocation, never said where they were relocating to but they all left at the same time. All of them were geophysicists.
"On the grid" scientists: most are married, intelligent but concerned with their partner. Otherwise might be profiled to be unlikely to take an off the grid job. Not offered relocation jobs, and some of them are envious. They were relocated in a scattered way to other locations. Some were geophysicists, some specialized in other fields.
Finally, the New Omsk laboratory specialized in geophysics, with some environmental geology and geoecology. These scientists were working in tandem to study the shifting environment in the region around the laboratory.
