What does the 6-person team do? Try to protect the new Caesar? Help another candidate run for the election? Try to help in the assassination? Go for the Brutus role or Mark Anthony's? There's likely to be a Civil War if they can't handle it safely. Can the Morrow project broker a truce? If not, whose side will they pick?

IF a Morrow Team plays true to form, they will remain neutral. Or possibly remove themselves totally from the picture. Let the locals figure out what is what and who is who. Kinda like the "Prime Directive" from Star Trek that various and sundry Captains kept breaking to solve their own issues.
One place Morrow Team can be is a truce maker for the treatment of ALL injured. Especially if there is an on going civil war. Help both sides equally. That should confuse the issue with facts!
Another place Morrow can be neutral is in teaching technology. If the team sees a TL C or less, then a course on water treatment, sewage treatment, crop rotation, fertilizer utilization, etc can be given to any one who wants it.
A third level of neutrality is talking to the locals about where they (the team) came from and what the team's goals are. A little shock and awe can't hurt.
Plus if any side wants to get rought with the team, a short demonstration of firepower should resolve the issue. Something like using a .50 (or if you are lucky, a 20 mm) to destroy a large rock. Or a little bit of C-4. No one hurt...but damn those boys with the funny uniforms have some SERIOUS voo-doo magic!!!
