Eh, Utah isn't really that important, and considering he wasn't in the "Director's pick" for team members, I doubt he's that strong. Though, he might be an interesting choice for a comedy story.

I don't think they should introduce any major plot devices that we don't know of already in these short stories. Because then if we ever go back to the main story, it's just going to feel like they're awkwardly trying to fit in this concept from some obscure backstory just because it was cool. I feel like they'd be better off more self-contained.
