We definitely don't want to discourage anyone from participating in this plot based on their character's abilities! What we DO want to stress is that there's a reason the mutineers aren't going to be broadcasting their location from the get go; distractions such as the base's basic systems failing, keeping the network down, and tracking the AI are all meant to serve as a distraction from where the mutiny is actually occurring. For a majority of the plot - until many or all of these distractions are dealt with -, characters will have very little idea of what specifically is going on or how to deal with it beyond fixing the problems that are immediately apparent (power failures, gravity field issues etc).

I want to encourage you to put your name in the hat of the team signups wherever you think Raiden would best qualify as there's a likelihood you'll be selected and then - to an extent - we're more open to smashing through locked hatches and barricaded doors so players can face off with the heavy hitters of the mutiny. Further, while it might not seem vital at first glance, but without gravity powerful pro-Initiative fighters might have trouble keeping pace, and without lighting spies will struggle to keep track of what's going on behind the scenes. Every aspect is important for its own reasons and Raiden could prove to be a huge asset if his skills are put on the board for it: especially in areas that have low sign ups as those groups might wind up facing off against uneven odds. Obviously you should do what you feel suits you best, but definitely consider all the options before crossing yourself off the list for this event!
