Because it would help enormously with the general consensu vieuwing him as redeemed. If you stay alone and redeem yourself that's all right, but because you're all alone no one will find out. And it ultimately are others who judge the actions of someone else morally just and thus that person redeemed. In fact, the Mendel and Persan don't care about Glacier; only the Waptoria Allaince of Species do, so he needs to get their approval.

It's practical for Glacier but it's also practical for the Unitech-Waptoria. After the Persan become Accel Space Entities and the Mendel emerge from their Oversoul both will be thoroughly changed, causing all 3 to go their seperate ways. The good Aeba Shuka are the only ones the Waptoria can turn to since they are Waptoria in origin. The Suicice Watch have rejoined the Mendel at that point as do the Vanara rebels with the Persan and the Volver rebels get finally put down by the Volver Empire, so the Aeba also lose them. So a close-knit alliance/commonwealth/eventual merger in the far future seems logical for the two since both the UAE and the BB end up defunct at that time and the two are only left with one another. Also both are Waptorian (psychologically speaking, there still have to be some remains of that in the Aeba Shuka even after such a long time, as such subconscious impacts are very difficult to destroy especially because they are subconsious so not even groupminds/hiveminds can completely reach them), so that would help facilitate things. A raptoranean is a Raptoranean, no matter Waptoria, Unitech or Shuka. Their thought patterns are the same, and it is merely the way they put them in practise that is different.

Being a part of the groumind does no automatically make Alliance of Species either. Most foreign diplomats to them are part of it for practical benefits, despite being loyal to non-Alliance nations and empires.
