It just occured to me while I was dreaming up physics questions to shoot at Regulus.

The Scarab calculated that Blue Beetle would be able to survive an explosion of the Reach bomb at point-blank range.

Question. It is all but certain the Partner is the Reach, and just as certain that the scarab is one of theirs. Storytelling reasons aside, why didn't the scarab recognize its creator's bomb?
