Quick notes

JC begins inside UNATCO’s worldview. JC Denton enters the story as a new nano-augmented agent.
Paul is a personal connection inside the conspiracy. Paul is both JC’s brother and a fellow augmented agent.
Hong Kong broadens the network of contacts. Tracer Tong becomes an important scientific and political contact after the early New York missions.
Save the deepest allegiances for the ending guide. Bob Page is central to the conspiracy, but a simple cast table cannot explain every change of allegiance without spoiling the game.
