Organizations, companies, governments; anything that large and influential is not something you want to make an enemy of unless you absolutely have to. It can go very badly very quickly, the moment you lose whatever value--or use, to go with your wording--you might hold to them. Being used isn't exactly an ideal situation, but if that's the position you end up in it's one that, if you're careful enough, can be played to your advantage.
[And directly drawing the ire of Riverstone, as well as potentially damaging their plans if they think that now all the Displaced will be more suspicious of their motives, both puts them all at new risk and loses the option to use Riverstone's plans against them.]
