Gaby will primarily want to make sure that the lesser fortunate people around the city are getting food and clothing. Morningstar can't give all of them better lives, but they do participate in a lot of charitable acts. Delivering food to boarded up buildings full of people squatting will be a priority for her, and they'll learn that when she's not babysitting the displaced, that's where she's often lending an extra hand.
Otherwise, she knows that they're going to have to recreate their network of information in the city. Having it done with the displaced may help, so trying to figure out the connected dots may be a good way to go about things. They have no way of knowing who might need Morningstar's help, outside of a few remaining projects where they wanted to reach out to corporate and government targets. If Fitz and Peggy take on these projects, they'll be directed to pull them in to one of the other safehouses (one that was set up and established after a certain string of Morningstar agents joined, since they were left alone). It's the best they can offer. Gaby will say that while the displaced set up their own safehouse, another new one will be needed for other people. Any of the three locations not used will likely need to be set up for NPCs who need assistance in the future. That said, some of the people marked for "assistance" will already be dead and scrubbed away - it'll be something that Gaby and El are eager to share, all to give perspective on how Morningstar was actively saving lives apart from the displaced.
As for Gaby: shit does suck. She's stressed out and barely sleeping, and barely going home. While Morningstar has always credited her for her diligence and dedication, she never asked to be in charge of operations like this one. It's not in her wheelhouse. She'll admit that anything she emphasizes will be narrower in focus, partly because she's more small picture than big picture. The big picture when it comes to New Amsterdam was left to many other agents, and she was happy to be a cog in the system.
We're interested in seeing what the PCs do with Morningstar's current status, but we'll repeat something we're also telling Laura: the original agents and contacts outside of Gaby will be wary of leaving behind or passing along any information to the displaced. There were rumors of the displaced feeling as if they were entitled to better positions and trust despite seeming as if they don't care for this world, and that spread among the New Amsterdam Morningstar people. Now is the time for the PCs to prove that they aren't just concerned with getting home. This is, of course, a fair concern: they were taken from their homes and all of Morningstar's contacts sympathize with what happened to them. But that doesn't make them entitled to special treatment, and some of them will exit with the impression that Gaby and El are giving them too much leverage in their absences. Gaby believes things can change, but doesn't want to force anyone to feel as if they have to further Morningstar's goals unless they have to. In fact, it was her decision to change things up, and stop asking the displaced to join up to get assistance from Morningstar, when they can use one another instead.
That's not to say that things won't change, and Fitz and Peggy approaching her is encouraging. Gaby knows that her setup is not enough to help as many people as they need to be helping, or even undermining many of the human rights abuses that happen in New Amsterdam thanks to the large corporate presence. She'll give them leeway and encouragement to draw other people into their plans.
