Naoki, Claudia and Shinji are all investigating, since I don't Western and don't want to split my attention.
Felicia Wheeler will be under my purview, and occasionally available via radio contact.

Yosuke (infiltrator name pending, please help) is going to be Infiltrating as one of the Gelus Vitae saloon keepers. While he's mostly cheerful and borderline flirty, he's a freaking scaredy cat everyone anyone wants to start a fight in the saloon. Also pretty professional at the art of YEET. Makes good drinks though.
Pidge is most likely investigatingand babysitting Lotor. Yeehaw?

Stone is infiltrating, so I can background him if I have to, and also I can't resist an old cowboy. If there are horses, he will have a blue roan mare who is Azure. If there are no horses, then she will be a dog. If she's not a dog... uh. I don't know what to do with her. I'll think of something. Goal will be to pick up animal husbandry here, because the guy whose people never even considered domesticating animals needs to know how to domesticate animals, okay. It is hilarious to me. Not sure yet if he's gonna be a cowherd for the corp guys or the cattle thieves yet.
Riddick totally remembers being here before guys :D He's one of the ones who actually WAS HERE last time. I dunno how that will work, if I get to play two of him? Old one and new one? It might be fun to revisit him as he was back then, extremely grumpy and unpleasant... I just plan in investigating, rather than persona-ing, to get the full range of his confusion and leading the way on this with Beatrice and any others who might be involved in this.

Shiro will be infiltrating as the Washed Up Outlaw.
Taichi "Lefty" Shirai. 6 foot 3 inches. Scarred across the face. Missing his right arm from the shoulder down. Odd jobs, sells vegetables and eggs. Painkiller junkie and alcoholic.
A jaded ex-outlaw, injured in a stampede last year and unable to resume outlaw duties. He used to be extremely well known, charming, daring, accomplished. Now he raises Space Chickens and takes care of a little garden patch in the back of a carefully maintained but tiny house with a Space Dog. He can't afford a prosthetic, so he's down to one arm. Sells his veggies and eggs and the occasional poulet.
He's tired and jaded, at 26, and trying to figure out how to rethink his entire life now that nothing is going where it used to be.

Gil will be Infiltrating as the Rock Ridge Mayor, Garrett Ivanhoe! Not necessarily loved but at the very least appreciated for managing to keep Erebus and their bullshit to a minimum for Ridge Rock; probably in part as well because he is extremely willing to turn a blind eye to whatever smuggler antics are happening around him. As long as there's plausible deniability, he's got you. And if there's not, you've got til the count of three before he calls his genuinely food friend, the sheriff.
He is not a cowboy. He is a political who happens to live where there's horses. He does own and can ride one, at least.
Kinji is Investigating! Let's put those cowboy ninja skills to the test!!

Kenzaki will be infiltrating as Rock Ridge's doctor! (Or possibly one of two doctors, if someone else also wants to be a doctor. I am totally open to additional doctoring.) Because every small town needs someone to take care of the injuries and illnesses that are sure to crop up, right? And if he has to look the other way when it comes to where those injuries come from, well...
Nero is, barring some sudden revelation from above, going to finally investigate.

Sara is going to be some manner of Infiltrated - depending on how my questions about cool mecha farm equipment goes, she's either going to be a secret bandit or a farmgirl sympathizer. I would really appreciate infilfamily/infilCR for her, either way!
Berne might be halfvestigating as Nabiki Tendo. If not, she's probably Sir Not Appearing on the Jaunt.
I'm idling Bongagong and Madoka. Sorry guys.

Matthew and Xena are both investigating. Xena's going to be my main focus this jaunt, since I plan for her to get heavily involved in the cattle rustling. Matthew's going to hang around the city and refuse to have anything to do with cows, but will still be available for bridging and liminal delegate shenanigans as needed.
Thorne will likely bug him with any metaplot she's got.
Wash and Rose will be investigating. Wash will spend more than a bit of the Jaunt complaining that he made it VERY CLEAR he was never dealing with black market cattle again!
Jaina I've put in for a truly ridiculous double infiltration. SHe will be a smuggler regardless.
Minerva will be Minnie the local school marm, because every Western needs a school marm. I'm always up for infilfam for her.
Death will be... considering my ridiculous plan for Jaina involves smuggling, we'll make her a deputy of some sort.

Alcuin is infiltrating as a woman.
Amity Soiree. 5 foot 2 inches, 120 lbs, long white hair, slender, dark eyes with long lashes and a smirk to set any cowboy's blood alight. Barmaid and server at the local saloon.
Second generation Martian, knows all the smugglers, can get you good deals on any drugs you like if you can pay her fee and you're not stupid about asking. But she's also the one to go to on the sly if you want to get your kid off-world. She'll find a way to smuggle them out at the earliest opportunity. Always manages to juuuust slip out of charges for criminal acts. Charged, but charges withdrawn - common in her criminal record. She knows her way around a laser rifle and handguns, and lives in a tiny house not far from the saloon.
Flirts outrageously but never follows through. Some say she's cold as ice, others say she's waiting for some childhood sweetheart.

... so who wants to be flirted with in multiple identities?
Tachibana will be investigating, acting as a medic because I'm sure it'll be pretty clear that it'll be needed. Garren will be with him in puppy form! And he'll likely be smuggling in supplies from Liminal once he realizes how impoverished the area is.
Meaning it's quite likely someone's gonna think he's some well-to-do sortif you ignore how he dresses and he'll likely make some cover story how he's paying back his medical training by providing it to impoverished and underserved populations.
...and likely will wind up using his healing powers in a way he can't just explain away because helping people always takes priority to self preservation.

Sssooooo, need your barmaid with the rifle to clear things out, boss?
Yes please. Show them out, make them pay their bills first though.
Honestly, she's gonna be herself in a location with millions of people. She is totally going to indulge a little in being an anonymous face in a crowd away from everyone else for part of this.
So. Like. I think what I'm saying there's every chance she'll spend some time in the city too.
So. Like. I think what I'm saying there's every chance she'll spend some time in the city too.
YES. Yes they do.
Then she disappears for a couple days to see how the other half lives with Tiresias form because if she has doki-itis she's going to at least use it to satisfy her curiosity. And she can't in Liminal Space, because they'll know it's her. BUT CITIES ARE ANONYMOUS.
Don't worry, she'll give you a heads up so you know she didn't actually vanish.

Yukino is Investigating, and remembers being here the first time, so she's probably not going to be happy about any of this.
Raidou is Halfvestigating as Youko Kurama/Shuichi Minamino, who is probably going to have Questions.

Thorne is investigating and is going to be up to her neck in metaplot if I can help it.
(My other two are probably going to be pogs, unless I need to play back-up for a plot role that doesn't get volunteers.)

Ambrose is going to be infiltrating as shady gambler Ambrose Long. He's a former cattle rustler but retired due to injury and is now living the "quiet" life in Ridge Rock. An early investor in the Schiaparelli-Lowell Canals, he makes his legitimate living as a repair man for your mechanical woes.
LOOKING FOR: infilfam (I have a couple bites but nothing solid yet), former rustler associates, people who owe him money/people who he owes money to, whatever.

[infilfam placeholder] I've decided to have Brose go the mechanic route for him legitimate income, so this can work.
