They knew the scarab was of alien origin before the reach appeared right? I'm not surprised they were weary of it and were interested in something that could turn out to be a failsafe if things go bad with it. Not to mention they had to keep up the deception of being caught off guard or else the reach wouldn't have put blue or green in the situation where the scarab could be taken off mode.

They thought it was one of Kord's inventions actually...Which doesn't really make sense given Dan Garrett used it :/
