Wow, sorry, for some reason I thought I had already replied to this.
And yeeeeeeeah, kind of late but the way I figured it went with Caspian: he did make contact with the Initiative, he did tell them about the time travel, and the Transporter, he wasn't offering them full access, but in exchange for helping the Transports get settled back on earth, he was offering them some access to the tech AND the remaining members of the previous Initiative up on the moon base. He didn't say they were all basically refugees on the moon, just that the moonwas one of the places they were - basically implying that the Transports are doing this new Initiative a favor by offering to come down and work with them, not for them.
The basic idea was to let the Initiative think the Transport had a lot more power, and that this was going to be a collaborative effort between Transports and Initiative, not the Initiative calling the shots.
But I don't know if that makes a difference to the overall plot, so... yeah. *hands*
