I have a question about the beings if that's okay. What kinds of beings are we looking at here? Are we leaning more towards humanoid beings that can speak, know "stuff" in general, and might even try coexisting with humans; or are we thinking of mysterious creatures with unknown backgrounds that the government might try covering up and studying in containment?

I was thinking mysterious creatures that the government wants to study. Vampires, dragons, werewolves, wookies, whatever you can dream up. You should have some way to communicate with the others.
