After careful deliberation, it's obvious that Yinko cannot function in any senshi organization that is blinded by optimism. I am therefore requesting an alternative assignment, a group, or mission that keeps him separate from most (not all) of the senshi. If it comes to it, I would be open to relinquishing the power and status of the Venus Knight:
Option 1: Beware the White Hand: From what Fate tells me, this organization is precisely the type of group Yinko has been searching for. These are people who understand the danger the Covenant poses, and those humans who sympathize, collaborate, or otherwise ignore the threat. Yinko can bring a sense of clarify, of purpose, and a netwar structure to the White Hand, while also erasing any moral obligations to the Tokyo residents at large. The job is to kill Covenant and their sympathizers, after all, and you don't work highly motivated individuals. Instead, you just... turn them loose.
Option 2: Covenant Assassin: Sometimes, change comes from within an organization, as well as without. With Capricorn's hidden objectives, Yinko can be the right hand and false flag operative that can do the things a Covenant operative cannot. In exchange for clouding his purpose by joining a sect of the enemy, he wants ray guns... lots, and lots of ray guns. Any and all military tech a lone operative could theoretically carry that the Covenant has in development.
Option 3: The Manchurian Recruit: The most dangerous operatives can be double, or even triple agents. Clearly, the senshi, even in a non-aggression pact with the Japanese government, need spies and saboteurs to collect everything one can about Japan and America's intentions, capabilities, and logisitcs. In a world like this future Tokyo, where refugees looking for work are widely available, why complicate matters? Yinko is, after all, a former Marine NROTC cadet. Have him join the US military's presence in Tokyo, potentially working in an administrative area, somewhere where it is believed newly commissioned officers can't do so much damage. Also, a place where, because no one knows David Rhodes and Yinko are the same man, a place where he can hide from... foreign government interest. Of course, who's to say military secrets won't be exposed? After all, paperwork can become... messy at times.
Option 4: The Monk Who Knew Too Much: we have already established David working with Priestess Hino. Why not use the shrine, with all it's mysterious history (secret passages, forested terrain, and cultural insulation) as the perfect cover? Those stray rocket launchers tucked away under the floorboards to Rei's bedroom, or that counterfeiting equipment hidden beneath the main shrine, conveniently next to all those donations, those aren't suspicious! Not at all! After all, he's on a mission from God.
