"And Bellamy didn't remain antisocial to protect Octavia, for back in His Sister's Keeper he became a Guard Cadet and I assume got connections throughout The Ark in order to find a way to get Octavia out of their room (just to get locked up and there mother floated later)."

I think it's pretty clear in the show that the only people who knew of Octavia's existence up until she got caught was Aurora and Bellamy and no one else. He became a cadet because his mom was sleeping with one of the Guard. When he took Octavia to the masquerade, that was the very first time she had ever left their room (and why she couldn't find her way back). He was able to do it because as a Cadet, he was on dance detail, which didn't require inside help from anyone else...at least until the sun flare. If he'd had someone else helping, they wouldn't have gotten caught so easily.
