If not for martial law the cult would have peacefully tried to recruit new members. The Resistance would not have come to be. The goals would have been to create and upgrade each of the basic facilities (government building, research center, medical facility, biodome and colony defense before night 13). CF would have gained more abilities to sabotage your efforts to prevent that.

As far as your government puppet masters... that may have to stay a mystery in case another attempt to colonize is ever made (I just need to think of some other ways to trigger havoc in that one).

A couple were tied together like the identity thief and victim and the cult leader and farmer who lost his child to a cult. The others were for flavor to the story and hope that a little role playing could occur for anyone that wanted to go with it. Though some of it could have been used as leverage by the spy.
