They've already gotten everyone they're getting: Ione is the entirety of HQ's contribution here. The idea was she was supposed to report back if more were needed, but because rifts are tricky, now she can't. Generally interference is only by request.
"That ... depends," Ione says cautiously, "On who you count as my people, because my childhood was on one world, my early adulthood on another one, I've lived in four dimensions and six planets throughout my life and considering my parents are from different worlds, I'm not sure which I would count. The agency doesn't tend to push into others' business unless they either ask for it, or really clearly need it in a everything-is-metaphorically-on-fire kind of way. But the world my dad comes from, for instance, it's much better. It's very nice. I would have stayed there if there'd been use for me, but I got bored. Where I went to medical school was so bad it's not even there anymore. On a general scale of here-versus-other-places, everywhere else I lived, except that one, likely had more -- personal freedoms and less torture?"
