I'm not talking about using it on puny humans. I'm talking about using it on naval vessels that were going to attack those same Objects. I don't really buy the "political issues" reasoning - as long as all the Objects are informed, it shouldn't be a problem at all. All they had to do is to contact a proper local Government authority and ask them to pass a message to the Objects - "terrorists have captured ..., and will soon try to attack you, you might want to actually do your duty".
Since they had no problem coordinating their every move with Sponsors all the time, they had plenty of opportunities to do that.
