I think the only reason they haven’t wiped us out yet is because our guardians follow the sword logic more than any other followers of the darkness, though it’s a lot more nuanced than the hive. In this weeks mission… [spoiler]Mara said that she’s reminded of the crucible after seeing the scorns early take on ritualistic combat. She also says that she suspects the scorn are getting help and evolving from an outside source. When you think about it, we willingly enter the crucible to see who the strongest guardian is, and we literally kill other guardians to do it. It may not be a permanent death, but it definitely seems to fall in line with the sword logic. [/spoiler]
