Also, "official government forces are at war with an alien power we know nothing about" seems like it would be bad PR.
Agreed, so would "We lost our newest recruit in the far left spiral arm of the milky way.... we think. Might be the next galaxy over." The idea was sound, they knew dabbler had contacts who could track her down so officially her being on a private training mission to get her up to snuff was a decent excuse and if literally anyone involved on sydneys side had even the slightest shred of common freaking sense, it wouldnt have been an issue.
