hey mods! more questions for you, thanks in advance.

situation #1. there's been a pattern of data being wiped/erased in new amsterdam. things like the monster attack (which was technically prior to daisy's arrival, but she's been briefed on it since), the various PC dropoffs, and the nurse's identity are all coming to mind as fresh examples.

question(s):
— daisy currently works under a vyonation subsidiary assisting with digital security functionality. it is exceptionally weird for her to have it be acceptable in a data-driven society for data to disappear. though she would have the smarts to not mention morningstar's work or the nurse, if she were to ask her coworkers or her boss about data backup practices in the event of a breach, would they have any best practices or information to share?
— is information typically backed up in new amsterdam as a general rule, or is "information getting wiped" a supposed nonoccurence to the general population? would being concerned about such an event raise eyebrows or potentially mark daisy as a potential enemy of the state? (i admit the last one is a bit farfetched, possibly too many polsci thrillers watched lately)

situation #2. it's been queried (thanks, noctis!) as to whether or not the erased data might be archived or stored somewhere — cloud storage, for example, or an ancillary drive. daisy knows that data doesn't necessarily have to be physically backed up via a cable or thumb drive, but that in order for large amounts of information to be synced up, there generally speaking has to be some kind of material set-up to facilitate it.

she theorized that satellites may be in play, possibly on roof-level or higher than average citizenry would have reason to access. fitz & connor will be heading to lunar for a space holiday, and fitz has offered to keep an eye out if possible to see what kind of setup he can spot.

question(s):
— while aboard the spacecraft, will fitz and/or connor be able to spy anything recognizable (a satellite dish, for example, or other technical item) that could potentially be used in data transfer?
— if so, will they be able to tell with any amount of specificity where these items are (such as atop the oscorp tower or catty-corner to a billboard for a specific item)?
— and if they are able to verify location, would any of the PCs have the ability and/or credentials necessary to access them and potentially learn more about them?
— assuming they can, would there be any information physically present on these dishes or accessible via their neural implants or other commonly found tools that they could garner?

situation #3. daisy would like to find an organization in new amsterdam that can be of assistance in discovering information. while she appreciates what morningstar is working for and is willing to assist them with odd jobs as requested, she's not quite as devoted to them as her colleague fitz. she gets why they have to be secretive and under-the-radar, but that doesn't mean she likes it. so! she's been briefed about the new amsterdam associated press and how they hosted video of the monster attack (even if it was later scrubbed), and she thinks this organization might be a good place to align with in looking for the light seeping through the cracks.

question(s):
— if daisy were to approach the new amsterdam associated press, would she be able to speak to someone in charge of hiring? if so, would it be an immediate "walk in and chat" or would she need to play the waiting game (ie sitting in the lobby until they were willing to talk to her, or alternatively having to schedule an appointment)
— would they be willing to hire her on? she would present her credentials as experienced in investigative journalism, but more urgently highlight her own desire to uncover the truth behind the "weird stuff happening in the city lately". earthquakes and monster attacks and sudden raging infernos don't seem to fit the narrative of a supercity with its shit together, if the editor in chief knows what she means, and she'd like to find out more about what's going on. she imagines they'd like to know too, if only to sell more "papers".
— if they are willing to take her on (she expects a freelance gig as opposed to a permanent staff position), what sorts of access would she gain in this way? as a member of the press, her expectation would be to be able to ask official questions to various businesses and organizations, to have a "legitimate reason" to stake out buildings or people, and to have access to areas she might not normally be expected to go. if asked by a police officer what she was doing in a seedy area late at night, for example, she could tell them she was investigating a lead in a story and present her press badge. does this seem reasonable?
