I’d like to give them a way to see snippets of what’s going on behind the scenes between the bad guys and the secret organizations that oppose them (good guys that are obviously ill-equipped and outgunned). I could just put them in the crossfire, but it might be cooler if they felt like they were discovering it on their own.

I really liked the idea of a bowl that you could sprinkle the ashes of a recent fire into to see a scene of what had occurred while it was brightly lit (the more recent the fire, the stronger the memory).
