Been completely out of pocket lately. Settling in now, but I don't expect to be a frequent poster again. Perhaps once per day...sometimes skip a day. Trying to get all caught up. This game is so fast it's a lot to read let alone participate in now that life is balls to the wall again. (BTW, that's not a dirty term...it's valid nautical and aeronautical saying 
).
Walt will DEFINTELY want to do the Collace re-entry jump. He'll beg Bona to go along too. Loading up all the requisite skillsets to be an enjoyable experience.
He'll support William's deduction that hiring multiple merc groups as a stopgap until they get their nation organized would be wise. He'd suggest the "Ruling Council" divide up lead of certain responsibilities as individuals or committees...keeping in mind that the Council has to clean Sternmetal Horizons from their territory first.
Example (just shelling out this discussion. Many individuals may want to be involved in other aspects than initially presented:
Constitution/Legislation: All (60% majority required to pass a new law or amended law)
Law Enforcement: William, Jaelah, Walt, Aster, with input from Garvin, Arker, and Spicoli
IT/Surveillance: Arker, Spicoli
Manufacturing/Development: Roscoe, Bilis/Bianca, Metz
Trade/Shipping: Roscoe,
Physical Security of Council facilities: Garvin, Spicoli, William, Jaelah
Military: William, Walter, Aster, Roscoe, Metz, Bona
Social Services: Jaelah, Arker, Bianca
During the transit to Collace, Walt will step through teleportals back to Capital and Glisten (if possible) and check on the Scout's preparations for the Pocket Uni survey. He'll coordinate with leadership and leaders of the various specialties to ensure proper logistics, tools, research equipment, etc. are ready to go and the planning makes sense. He remembers a famous saying from his Academy days: "Rookies talk tactics, Professionals talk logistics."
He'll also spend free time walking the common areas of Yamaguchi (with Bona when able) doing an experimental Telepathic mind read of random people looking for shielded minds. (He'll use psi drug to make these sessions a little more productive. He knows getting a hit on a shielded mind is very much a long shot, but he wants to start the process of recruiting psionics. He's most interested in discovering untrained minds indicating 'wild' psionics vs Institute trained psionics. However, he'll also attempt to disguise himself and Bona to streetwise a psionics institute aboard the Space Station...there are nearly a billion people after all.
BTW, has Aster taught them all the trick of planting false thoughts to spoof a thought reader?
He'd also consult with Roscoe and Bianca on a possible house in a Jungle World "High Andes" location and lead a drone search of the world.
Transit time work: Dex and End, Telepathy 2 (he'll ask Aster to help him with this one...he's never had formal training for any of his psi skill. Good time to start now. He'll ask Aster what else she might be able to help teach him.)
Addressing Jaelah and Roscoe (assuming he overheard some their conversation re: recruiting Jaelah's family into the business of the new nation, Walt will suggest:
"I once was close to marrying. I want kids badly, and I learned that potential grandparents are strongly enticed to follow grandchildren around the universe when other factors failed to incentivize movement. Just saying! I really like the idea of family joining our cause and heading important endeavors that are critical to our success. I've considered sending for my family. Dad is a purchasing agent for the company that runs my homeward, Mom's a nurse, and brothers both run the supply warehouse. Might help."
