2. By risk I meant that Atlas's advanced technology and military has a far greater chance of discovering Cinder's group. Better to let a war happen and deal with Atlas than to go there personally. 1-I don't see any reason why they would do that, unless you mean they would flee from the SDC itself with Weiss.

2-Remember that said advanced military has non-existent security, getting dozens of prototype mechs stolen under their nose without them even noticing or doing anything about it. So that "far greater chance" is like in the single digits in %.

Plus, I doubt Ironwood actually saw Cinder, or at least Emerald or Mercury, and knows of their involvement in the invasion. And even if he did, so what? To the eyes of the whole world, he shot the people he promised to protect in the back during a crisis. No one will believe anything he says, no one trusts him. Trying to tell anyone besides RNJR that Emerald/Mercury is ebil, will end up like the typical Invader Zim episode.

And, with the war and the WF, there won't be as much attention put on Merc and Emerald who, in nearly-all people's eyes in Atlas, are just 2 simple people/Hunters, so even less attention is received. Total: No risks at all. There may possibly be nothing to gain, besides the Maiden present in Atlas, but there's no real danger of any sort at all either. And they aren't stupid, they wouldn't grab too much attention regardless of their reasons for going there.
