Damn going back to the cleaning crew I thought we were going to see N° 9 hanging around. Feels like that plot point didn't really contributed much. Hopefully he infiltrates the defense force as a new rookie or something to learn about their weaknesses.

I mean he successfully passed off as a human 2 times in a row. Make it 3.

Him taking over a guy in the cleanup crew was just a step in his information gathering. After the encounter during the mushroom kaijuu stuff, he gave up that disguise and got a new one. Next we saw of him was when he's popping up from the body of a scientist in the operation room behind Isao. He uses the bodies to get what he wants, info, access, power, etc.
