She ended up requesting the Bracer Guild, which passed on the request to Rean Schwarzer and Class VII, to assist in the search. Together they succeeded in locating the Hercules squad. When she arrived, however, she caught her brother feuding with the rest of the squad and they pointed their weapons at Cody. Kaela jumped onto the scene to intervene and the rest of the squad fled.

On the condition of abdicating their ship to the imperial government, the squad was allowed to be repatriated to Calvard.
