The idea is that the knightsabers have been hired out by the new millitary forces moving in to help with the relief effort in japan, the knightsabers, now back together are mistakened for androids and boomers, which is how they act. They appear out of their suits as "maintainers" who use the millitary facilities for their purposes-I.E. They hold up the farce that the knightsabers are indeed mindless androids, which is why Rijuan and Arkane are so surprised when they see linna in the hardsuit at the end of chapter 2. Oh yeah, this is chapter 2 by the way.
