Understood, then.

[Because she doesn't dislike Damian and Jason as much as they dislike her. For the most part, she finds them annoying and arrogant, believing people need to live up to their standards.

And she'll take up her issues with Jason with Jason.]

As for the troubles we face—part of it is something that the group is paranoid about. While I don't think we're at risk of any immediate, major attacks, there are a few things that are undeniable:

• There are powerful people in this world who know who we are, and they can hire mercenaries to do whatever they want.
• Some of those powerful people are undoubtedly tied to the government.
• We're linked to Morningstar. Even if it's surging right now in popularity, governments don't tend to want to lose power to such a degree.
• Not to many anyone locally who might have a problem with us.

Having a scouting group will help us identify people who are watching us. It might even help us learn which points of surveillance can be avoided if trouble comes. Ideally, we'd be able to get eyes through that surveillance ourselves, but that's easier said than done.

I realize a lot of that comes down to paranoia, but we've made a lot of moves lately. The powerful people here like to control the narrative. It's only a matter of time, and having a group like this in place can help protect the rest of us.
