Hmmm... Ben won't be too much better off. Oh, his interpersonal relations will be fine - he absolutely hates being angry with friends and family. But the big issue will be the political scene.
Ben finds himself fighting a losing political battle over the expansion of the Roughriders. While the Big 5 and various other factions worry at the military power at Ben's disposal, Ben argues that if someone of poor moral fiber were to carry out a major coup in one of the Big 5 then all the love, friendship, and good feelings in the universe won't stop things from going to hell. This could be what prompts Atalante to go for the Throne - she feels that in that position she can rally the Senshi to Ben's support. (That damn Tenchi Masaki Syndrome - still effective after all these years.)
Of course, this has the polar opposite affect as it leads some to believe that Ben is attempting to do exactly what he says he wants to prevent. Of course, fear being what it is, these voices gain traction among the Convention and Ben's credibility takes a huge blow.
This will lead to Ben being stripped of all titles among the Senshi, the A-Team being reassigned to Frigga, and the title of Sailor Atalante being retired. (They even went as far as to strip the 'A' in A-Team of its standing for 'Atalante' - instead it is simply the letter 'A' and, to further set them apart, a 'B-Team' is founded.) Though the Roughriders still retain warm relations to the Senshi, it's been tainted with a feeling of loss.
Even the Japanese government has spoken out on Ben's military endeavors... however a very vocal group in the Miyagi and Fukushima prefectures still supports him staunchly.
Eventually, though, an incident will occur that leaves Ben and the Roughriders stuck holding the bag. Cries for the Roughriders and BAT to be nationalized go out, and Ben decides that it is high time to cut his losses and enact what he calls the Exodus Contingency. People that do not wish to go along with them are made part of a Roughriders or BAT that are 'sold' to Jet Jaguar, and then the entirety of 36 Atalante begins to haul ass for The Limit, thanks to the effing-huge reactionless drives Ben had 'secretly' built into the southern polar region of the asteroid.
Not exactly a quick and quiet disappearance, but I don't think there's any faction that would be able to stop that kind of mass when it has an appropriately proportionate drive system. That, and people would have friends there. Not many people willing to hit them with a rock-buster.
