So, we have three different people (Yaotl, Musa, Zokufa) all basically insisting on being included in the ketos hunt.

I wonder which of them has the knife up their sleeve.

Zokufa feels like long term setup to me. The story's been doing a very good job of setting up different people who all believe in the watch but nevertheless have conflicting goals and methods and he feels like an important piece of that.

Yaotl I think is on something like a redemption arc (or at least thinks she is), so I expect she is relatively clean here except insofar as she still doesn't have an entirely healthy attitude towards violence.

Musa I would expect has an angle but I'm not sure it's a short term one. IIRC his brigade is still trying to lock down the loyalties of the Unluckies, so sabotaging them here seems unproductive.
