1. O'Hanrahan
During or after her investigation of Galton, she is going to head back to Mesan Republic to follow up on something with Engagement (probably Saburo Lara partner) in which she mentions something offhanded that gets passed to Saburo, who with the remaining "Ghost Hunters" get them to go "she said what!".
This causes them to take a closer look at O'Hanrahan, leading them to her handler.
2. Jessica Milliken,
Ruth is going to show that the "Detweiler Plan" has already worked and that "Benjamin Detweiler and his people" are a danger to the galaxy.
3. The SL ONI and internal security
These agencies are not going to stop looking for MA Agents, which as they found the bio-nanos means that they can probably develop a test system for them which will identify a weak link in the MA Earth structure.
4. Finding Galton
We know that Darius is on the end of the "twins" which is near Mannerheim as their vessels were protecting the twin end, what would be the chances that one of the Grand Alliances vessels spotted something (but hasn't reported back yet).
5. Take down of Manpower
As for Phobe, she was definitely a "MA Agent" and not part of the other conspiracy on Darius.
4) No, this is not true.
Felix, with it's "undocumented" wormhole junction is 10 ly from Mannerheim. One of it's legs goes to the Twins which is an undocumented position. The Mannpower BCs which guarded the Twins-Torch terminus reached the Twins system via the Felix junction.
Twins doesn't lead to Darius, it leads to Felix. Darius is on a different leg.
To go to the Twins (or Darius) via Felix you need to :
1) find out there is a wormhole there
2) take over the system by destroying/driving out the Mannereim forces
3) Assuming Mannerheim will not allow their junction control to fall to invaders (Since they are Mesan, they won't), you will need to map the wormhole terminuses, entrance and exit lanes, and wormholes themselves.
4) Send scouts through to map the far side.
5) Invade
So the chances for getting anything from Felix is.... difficult to say the least, and the Twins will get you nothing, other than knowledge of the Felix wormhole - if you are lucky.
