their floatbeds were broken so they didnt have any place to sleep 
Anyway:
Speaking from an IC view - Oluf was not only opposed to arash and TM just for the heck of it. He had some very very different views on how things should be done so it was natural to clash with them.
KDS was indeed created to oppose TM, from the ooc stance. IC we also wanted to oppose them but Oluf's beliefs was also a part of the KDS agenda (ie, adjusting the humans to Da vinci instead of the other way around, not to mention his ambition of "being somebody in a tower full of nobody's")
I believe that neshor's main IC reason for going against TM was the fear of one big ring that would controle it all, this would lead to a few people deciding for everyone he thought (corret me if i am wrong kryigerof!)... Oluf went along with this way of thinking mostly to gain an ally in neshor 
Oluf would have never joined TM, nor with neshor (becuase of the above mentioned reason) i guess. TM's ideas of where we should go conflicted greatly with his own vision...besides why join TM when you can send a spy in there? oh no...wait....who was anabelle actually a spy for again? i am confused....anyway!
TM was working to do something- its enemies just worked to undermine TM.
hehe
Yes and no. KDS(and Oluf) did have some real actual goals (research, search for knowledge) but at the same time we did oppose TM.
Before KDS Oluf wasnt as such against TM....mostly he just didnt like arash much but after joinning up with Neshor his views changed quite a bit on mehken for example.
