[Ari's the sort to speak her mind, tell you if she values you, but she can't abide the overfamiliar, overbearing sentimentality she sees from some of the others. She'd be embarrassed if she knew she was giving that sort of impression herself - but she's blissfully ignorant of the error, and only too happy to focus on business.]
If it were me, I'd focus on practicalities.
1. Collating information. Our alternative to that binder. Everything proven by empirical evidence, with that evidence provided - or if it's speculation or deduction by one of us, clearly marked as such. Those of us who are able to should memorise it all.
2. Skillsets. What can our trusted people do? Is there anything that it would be useful to learn from one another?
3. Investigation. This is where the small groups come in, acting independently of one another, each with an objective. That could be trying to get the Captain to answer questions, as was mentioned - although I wouldn't rely on the accuracy of the answers. It could be trying to break into sealed-off parts of the ship and learn more about it. Trying to do some damage and see what happens, for those who don't mind the risk. Speaking to people who didn't attend the meeting but could be sympathetic.
These things alone won't be enough to get us out, but they're a decent starting point, and they'll get untrained people used to working together and keeping secrecy before the consequences of a screw-up would be disastrous.
