Hi Gaia! Thanks for following up.

1. If they're related to the UNA, they would typically verify it with the men in charge of that agency, and the case would be passed off. As far as the NAPD is concerned, they wouldn't be able to move forward on that. The case would be marked classified, and otherwise removed from the system.

If this doesn't answer your question, please let us know!

2a. This wouldn't be the first time Morningstar operatives killed someone. These cases would be marked as Morningstar-related because of the usage of the masks. As a note, the stun-only request came from Gaby specifically. That's not a standard Morningstar protocol. It's just that none of the PCs were agents so they wouldn't be aware of that.

2b. There wouldn't be any information on the nurse, mostly because the NAPD wouldn't be aware of him. A number of people died in that fire, after all.

If you're referring to a different sort of nudge nudge, let us know!

2c. There would be a few disappearances that could be traced back to the Displaced themselves! This would be PCs who have dropped. Their employers would eventually call in after they didn't show up at work, especially if they were diligent about it. Otherwise, they're still weighing which disappearances had to do with the UNA.

2d. This, too, would be a point of frustration because it would be found to not be in the NAPD's jurisdiction. The thing is, they know it happened - as well as the fact that it's never happened before. They might be more keen to act in favor of themselves in the future. Most of the information regarding the deal was kept between Riko and her boss, so none of the other officers would be privy to it, least of all anyone connected to a trainee like Dick.

In terms of Hei and Jake getting out of jail, a few people would have been privy to it because it was when they were all sitting ducks during the UNA raid. All of the officers agree there was a mysterious third party that was very official looking - they had actual official "papers" to support their claimed position with the New Beijing government - but many will assume the incident had to do with corporation politics more than the United Nations.

As for the arrangement, Doctor Strange is aware of it, and so is Gaby, given her relationship with Riko.

3. They work together as the situation permits and requires it! Most of the morgue involvement is the same as you've mentioned, though there are a lot of cases where they "film" it, translate it to a VR environment, and send it over to the NAPD. Not everyone wants to deal with a cadaver head on.

Keep in mind that the medi-units are available to the world at large, so someone dying without a known time of death would be a unique case in and of itself!

4. While Dick wouldn't be able to find precise information, he can certainly use the dreamscape to accelerate his training, butter up some of his fellow cops or even plant some ideas about the UNA in their heads! It's up to you what he's able to do and how he's able to accomplish it.
