1. There are a varied motivations for being in the fighting rings. Some feel the need to do it to supplement their salary, some do it for fun, and others are gamblers looking to make some quick money. It makes it difficult to pinpoint anything of value that hasn't already been passed down through a game of telephone. Cain will learn of the emergence of a new drug that fuels the fighters' aggression, taken by vape. He'll also learn that there are a handful of the regulars are wary of stepping into the fighting ring, as there have been outlandish rumors about some who have supernatural abilities. Some dismiss it as fear mongering to control the stakes, others want to prove their worth and are actively seeking them out, and a majority find it ridiculous, superstitious chance talk.
2. It would largely depend on what he's looking to find out about the colonies, but there is a great deal of information online. A lot of this information comes with advertisements of a new life, propelling humanity into the future, and offering new opportunities for everyone while they're there. Harder to find information would be about the poor living conditions, but it's not impossible - and Gaby would be more than happy to fill him in if he asked. She's made some public remarks about the colonies in the past, and most recently on her post. Of course, that's a lot, so he can always poke around Morningstar and get the answers in an unrelated fashion.
If he does ask Morningstar, he'll get a lot of information similar to what's here. Basically: the colonies suck and are an avenue for corporations to take advantage of working class people so they can offer humanity a future. They are a necessary evil and not a lie, but things could be better out there and simply aren't.
3. While the city has mostly recovered from the monster attack back in July, there is always reconstructive work to be done in the city. As long as Cain can work a few long shifts of manual labor, he should have no trouble landing a job. There are many aspects of construction that are still manual, but some technological advances in machines have made the job easier. There are 3D printers that dictate the shape and density of certain polymers, and elaborate machinery that can pinpoint exact mathematical equations for unique architectural framework. Cain will be among those that move around these constructed pieces, carrying bags of supplies from point A to point B. As the city is still on a nighttime schedule, a majority of the work will be done in long shifts from 8 p.m - 6 a.m. When the hours shift again, he'll be working during the daytime. We'll announce this on a future calendar!
