Hi Ellie!

Unfortunately, none of these questions would immediately get any hits - but there are small bits of information that would stand out. As it is, any UNA movement wouldn't be available to her, so anything they would do would be treated as confidential. Plus, they wouldn't need to be as careful as someone else might want to be.

1. As a point of clarification, the Displaced were never listed as weapons on any manifest. Instead, it was assumed that the cargo was UNA weapons because of the level of secrecy behind it, as well as the care. The actual gunfight that ensued didn't involve the UNA at all. They were involved in the cleanup, as a fight of that nature would need to be swept away quickly so that the public would never find out and because they would be able to identify that half the people on the scene were Morningstar agents (and therefore good sources of intel). Any witnesses who heard gunfire were likely forced into silence.

Simply put: it was a case of Morningstar's assumptions and intel being wrong.

Any weapons would otherwise not be on any manifests that she would have access to.

2. Tour groups are more common within cities, rather than between megacities. Besides, the UNA wouldn't use these.

3. The trains wouldn't have any unusual unscheduled stops. This may lead her to believe that someone is familiar with the trains to know how to use any and all scheduled shops to their advantage. There are stops between specific megacities, at research outposts (though these stops aren't visited on every trip, for obvious reasons - they're hit during supply runs).

4. They won't lead out of the city, but they do lead up into different buildings. Some black market smuggling does utilize the caverns, but they have to be careful - the underground part of New Amsterdam is adjacent to these caverns, so there is always the risk of surveillance.
