Think the LL1 mission is going to be dealing with pirates or mercenaries, for funsies.
Might be a good way to keep the major conflict in the background for juuuust a bit longer.
Following up on this. I think the best way to also keep cashing on on the really bad information leak during downtime, I think I'm going to narratively push the party to the outskirts of the base. Kept out of weekly briefings and assigned to more "keep yourself busy" jobs, hence dealing with pirates. At least until the forces feel good enough about a high ranking revolutionary being in their ranks.
