Unfortunately, the Morningstar agent - let's call her Ingrid - will have heard about Fitz from Ishani, believing that Fitz is more self-interested than not because of the angle that he took with Ishani. This is a belief propelled by rumors among the Morningstar agents that while the displaced saved many of their lives, they were only doing it to help themselves. While taking Ingrid's job is a part of Fitz's aim to overall help Morningstar, she wouldn't be keen to give Fitz much information about her position so that he could gain leverage. The only thing she would say is that Pulsar isn't a meritocracy and buttering up the right people is essential. She got the position herself because she played the politics game.
Ingrid will tell Fitz that if he proves that he's not only interested in protecting his own people, and is interested in helping the world he's landed in, Gaby may be able to provide him contact to her down the line. We're very interested in expanding Morningstar activities in game via the PCs, and believe our current world status is perfect for it. But the previous agents are understandably wary after their worlds were torn apart by the UNA.
For now, this position will be given over to someone else on their team (let's call him Jose). Jose is good at his job, but he definitely got the advancement through playing the politics game himself. He knows how to butter people up, and while he doesn't put in extra hours, his wife is best friends with one of the members of Pulsar's Board of Directors. The more annoying part is that Jose is smart. In fact, he's downright brilliant - and he would not be eager to give much mileage to Fitz if he shows that he's looking to advance himself. He had been eyeing Ingrid's position for years, and this new guy wants to prove that he's more worthwhile? The fact that Fitz is undoubtedly just as - if not more - qualified for the position will be seen as a threat.
All that said, Pulsar's executive board loves competition within their ranks, and would encourage both Fitz and Jose to prove themselves. There will be opportunities for Fitz to advance, but he'll need to eye the position as Jose's second in command before he can take that job for himself. In the meantime, Jose is going to give Fitz a lot of mediocre jobs - the stuff that would be beneath someone of his talent. Frustrating, but that's corporate New Amsterdam at its finest. And unfortunately for Fitz, he has to both show off his skill and get these easy jobs done at the same time, as he wouldn't want to look like he's slacking.
