Well, if memory serves, Sky didn't start hanging around until he saw Utena fight. Mia may have inquired about the email with or without the IDS, but the IDS does offer an instant sense of comraderie for her (without Corwin around anyway). So, I guess you could say they might have gotten together even without the IDS, but there was garuantee.

Also, as I read this thread, and after I read Redneck's post answering questions, the IDS is really starting to remind me of the CFMF... It was founded for kind of a limited purpose (win a civil war/allow Utena to carry her blade), but grew by its own dynamic power. But maybe it's just me drawing odd parallels.
