In the Hub, on their way to the elevator, a maintenance colleague and acquaintance of one of the hosts (if you haven't got an NPC from this section, get the players to provide details for them as per the rules on p. 44 of the rulebook), comes for a quiet chat:

"I hear you're going down to the Mansion of the Gastronome Ogre. It's been weeks since we were sent there to rearm the traps. That's not the usual procedure, something's fishy! Let me know if you see anything peculiar, I'll owe you one. Happy hunting, amigo!"

Giving them information after the mission will earn one the hosts a Δ4 favor from Maintenance.
