It is an armed mutiny for sure; Chloe and Charlie might believe they have everyone's best interests at heart, but let's be real: they're professional criminals. Their goal is to get in and hold both the transporter and any available technicians hostage for leverage before there's time for any interception. Obviously we'd love to have the NPC team on board for threading this out, but we understand if you don't have time for it and would prefer to handwave or bow out so please let us know what suits you!
