Okay, from seeing this, something about the way the Cygnus Knights reacted to Phantom's appearance tells me that Cygnus and her crew were brainwashed. Lotus and Hilla knew that apparently, and thus she needed Lotus to brainwash the hell out of Phantom. That's one possibility.
Another possibility is this. Remember the backstory to Dark Cygnus? This could be a predecessor to that. Look carefully at the object that Cygnus is holding during her exchange with Hilla.
[SPOILER=Something's wrong here, and I think Cygnus knows it]

That one bird (name escapes me at the moment, I know I've seen him before) is probably the only one who reacts to Phantom in a good light. Somehow, I get the feeling of espionage in this particular intro - Phantom is spying on the exchange between Cygnus and Hilla. Hilla senses it, and sends Lotus after him in order to silence him. After all, you can't warn Maple World if you don't have ownership of your mind.
Phantom is the double-crosser of Maple World, but not of his own volition - Lotus was using him like a ragdoll (ten bucks says Orca gets jelly over this). Thus, whilst inside Phantom, Lotus brought about the events that inevitably led to either the First or Second War. That's my belief.
But without a direct translation of the dialogue, I can't say for certain.
EDIT - Also, Hilla haz bewbs. YUDODIS Nexon?
