It wasn't that he particularly cared about the team but it did seem like it might be part of the missions they were given to work as a team and keep each other alive. That was a prerogative that he could keep in mind if not necessarily go out of his way to facilitate. At the least simple warnings and aids such as that kept him on the good side of his teammates; after all, he did have to live with them for now.
