Hey! Final participants are looking like Koon, Midori, Kanda, Hanna, Takasugi and Kamui. Far as Kamui goes I am thinking he gets the orders from Takasugi, then while Koon and Midori are trying to get he mom out Kamui shows up!! Realizes the real truth, betrays, steals mom to take her to Qresh himself (...very likely she grabs his sleeve and goes "these people are crazy please help me" fyi). Which confrontation/momstealing can be a thread with Koon or Midori, etc stuff and then we'll probs handwave the killjoy team of Not So Slick interstellar chases after Kamui and wait for mod verdict.

Does this sound okay/work for you?
