Because Kakara doesn't want to risk him deciding that his squad is more important than his optimism if it comes to a fight.

That's our "not-critical-failure" condition. A critical failure would have been if the scouts had managed to tranquilize us and take us hostage (their original plan).
Now we have to deal with merely fail conditions. Some of which are arguably worse than the critical fail condition. Say, a battle breaking out in which half the student body of Kakara's school gets vaporized by a stray ki blast.

Thanks everyone! Well, two thirds of everyone anyway. It also occurred to me...
The obvious consequence of completing A Cause is that Jaffur is unsealed. Whether this is good or bad depends heavily on Jaffur.

Strictly speaking, yes, you win. The scouts aren't escaping this one. But they can still do damage on the way down in a fight.

Welp, you heard it here folks. Word of God canonically states that Kakara's Masquerade name is Karen Ninjas.

OBVIOUSLY NONCANON, but inspired by the same kind of source as the earlier 'social life of cardboard' post, obviously.
Among the most dreaded things Kakara has to face after the battle against the scouts: The parent-teacher conference!
Principal Smith:
"Thank you for coming to see me so quickly, Mr. Marsden." [rises to shake Mr. Marsden's hand]
Berra, in Masque:
"I've read your letter, Principal Smith, and I'd like to ask you a question before we begin."
"Go ahead."
"Let me get this straight. You think that my daughter, whom all of this year's teachers agree is one of the most diligent, precocious, and mathematically gifted students at this school, is secretly some kind of... being... who spends her spare time fighting evil aliens for truth, justice, and the Aramaian Way. And your plan is to expel this girl?"

Detention actually. The damages are worth thousands and about a third of the student body ended in the hospitalbut it is her first infraction. She will risk a suspension if it happens again though.

Really no coming back from this one. We are successfully upgrading our Masquerade from Garenhuld native civilians to Garenhuld native Ki Warriors, and Aramaia (or whatever it is) will probably realize that we ixnayed the nukes. Depending on how widespread this stuff gets, and how many people are implicated, the governments are going to give us problems. And it's going to be annoying.
And it only recently dawned on me that I have been thinking of the alien incursion onto our world, aka the biggest threat to the Masquerade in centuries and a huge threat to every native here, as basically a really annoying waste of time and a distraction from Operation Jaffur. Like I've been worried about staying on schedule and getting far enough into our Perfect Multiform research and Tien's Style training to be able to stand up to our Dad by the time we set this into motion.

You're not the only one.
Been considering them a major issue myself, but yes, such thoughts have crossed my mind.
I make sure to discard such thoughts, and refocus on the threat they represent, which is probably why I've been the main "don't underestimate them" voice in the thread.
...But yes, they resemble a pack of kittens trying to take down a person, unaware just how outclassed they actually are.

To be fair, the main threat the scouts presented was never physical.

I've been thinking about this. And it's possible the Aramaians will believe that Tastreyan ki warriors (or whatever they wind up calling 'superbeings') shot down the nukes. It's certainly more plausible than the idea that there's a pan-national conspiracy of ki warriors, if you're an uncreative guy trapped in a matrix of assuming your own world is basically all there is, right?
I mean, if there's a pan-national conspiracy of ki warriors, why aren't they running the place, I ask you?
He's the definitive Goku stylist of the modern era. We're shaping up to be the definitive Tien stylist. What happened when Goku fought Tien and Tien used Multiform?

Our ki sense will be good enough that our eyes are redundant. I will not be satisfied until we can read a book with ki sense alone.
