Well... there are a few possibilities. But I see the TSAB as the sinister role. I can see two primary ways for possible plot direction to go.
1. If the TSAB or Chrono was ported over during the initial transport, he likely is going to fubar the entire El Hazard timeline, but likely would not be able to stop most of the events in motion. The Phantom tribe would still be gunning for the government takeover. The problem is where would he end up upon transport, as the original 4 did not end up together. Thus Chrono likely could not stop much of any of the inital events, but his interactions with the Rostarians will be key. The TSAB would have a key advantage as the Rostarian and alliance military had been reduced to almost a symbolic rather than active force due to no real activity or warfare. The only bright spot is I would have to wonder whether a magically aware Chrono would be able to see through Phantom Tribe illusions and ask about Gallus.
2. If the TSAB or Chrono ends up following Motoko and Ifurita back after he returns to pick her up by detecting their transport or seeing it, all the mainline OAV events have already occured, including those involving the trigger of destruction under Kali. In that case, Crono and TSAB would be facing a awokened and more battle hardened Rostarian military, and the comradarie that formed among all the priestesses and Makoto. Ifurita would be firmly in Matoko's camp, and would be unlikely to want to submit to what they would see as slavery and a taking away of her newfound rights.
If this occured after the Book of Darkness incident, I do not really see the Knights going along with this unless Hayate did. They may be forced to do so though since they may be in the TSAB under enforced enlistment due to their actions in the BoD incident.
I dislike simple misunderstandings being easily rectified after events are set in motion. And in point, this is not truly a misunderstanding as is set up, but a actual issue of policy.
I can easily see side plots erupting as to the girls (Nanoha/Fate/Hayate) wrestling with the morality, as they did not grow up indoctrinated in Mid Childa morals (Hayate and Nanoha earth morals, Fate her biological mothers morals). It could litterally rip the TSAB apart from the inside. Potentially, I can see them siding with the Rostarians against TSAB actions. Remember, Hayate at least has been a victim once with bad morals from Mid Childa society. Graham for all intents and purposes deliberatly plotted to set her up so he could cause her to go insane and then kill her. Only the intervention of Fate and Nanoha saved her. Sure, he supposedly was 'punished', though enforced retirement to a posh isolated home on Earth is not what I consider proper for all that he did. He certainly did not seem to regret his actions.
