It's ya boi, super scorn bro, back at it again with another scorn post And today we'll be talking about the lore card IV: Saturno from the tangled web lore book Spoilers ahead So within this specific card we are shown Crows first real gunfight with the Scorn. It's mentioned that he's faced them before but mostly from far away, picking them off one by one. However in this page the scorn have sent a raiding party to spider's store house, and Crow is tasked with clearing them out Just gonna nerd out for a sec, omg the way the scorn were portrayed in this card was AMAZING. Bungie really leaned on the rotting flesh and body horror aspects of the Scorn here and I absolutely love it. Highlighting their boils and oozing flesh, brown rags tucked into dripping cavities etc it was all amazing Anyway, in the card our dashing Crow is pinned to the floor by a Scorn Raider. The Raider starts clawing at Crow's stomach and actually starts gutting him, all the while speaking of Crow the entire time. Repeating the words: father father father Now I wouldn't bring this up if Crow didn't state shortly after [quote]It was one thing to be torn apart by a mindless creature of madness, but this… this would not be allowed.[/quote] Practically saying that the Scorn here are not in fact the mindless killing machines we took them as, but are self aware and genuinely ENJOYING what they're doing. I always assumed the scorn were mostly cackling lunatics, and that the Barons were the real "brains" behind the army. But this shows us that at least Raiders and up have genuine sentience and revel in the chaos they create. And while definitely not sane, they aren't as mindless as the Taken or instinctual as a war beast Man, I love Scorn
