Well, yeah, there's that too...but it is abandoned and it's systems are down, so not a totally horrible idea.
No, but your own private dimension beats the hell out of it.
The UNJE at the moment is going to have a great deal of trouble trying to arrest anyone on Legacy, since their Mudaba Adin facility just got trashed, and the only Elite team who could take Legacy is already likely to meet up with them in their current mission (Beta? Charlie? I don't think so). If Obana declares them to be criminals
now, then they'd just take her down before they left. And that assumes that Miss Daycare has the kind of authority necessary to declare that.
It's not even a smart move for the UNJE to declare them criminals, although it might happen nonetheless (ego is a powerful thing). For the vast majority of the team, the decision to help comes doesn't really come from dissatisfaction with the UN but instead a commitment to their teammates. Assuming they don't commit any other crimes in the course of their rogue mission, a jury of peers would likely find them to be innocent (if successful. We're all raised on the kind of movies where the heroes risk everyone to save an innocent, and we instinctively sympathize with those guys). I mean, it wouldn't be anything that serious...reckless endangerment, maybe?
Declaring the teens criminals would raise the question of how the entire UNJE team managed to get hired while being criminals, and cast the entire UN in a bad light. It also doesn't really give Legacy anywhere to go except for an enemy organization. The UNJE could easily work out a deal afterwards that saves the faces of everyone and doesn't burn any bridges
Ryan understands their reasoning. Hell, if it were anyone but one of his friends, he wouldn't really care.
But Ryan would sooner see Bishop dead.
