We can't say one way or the other what's just "fluff" and what's intended canon or content: There ARE a bunch of people zooming around the crystal in the opening CS, and it is pretty implausible that the entire population of Echo users are round up and disposed of in the MSQ.
I do think it's a bit random when you're "alone" and when you're in an actual group. The lead-in to CM and Prae tell you to bring people you trust, but then you get random shit like Garuda or Ravana where you just sprout 7 buddies to help you. Then it just becomes weird.
