I thought the Light just allowed the Team to do their thing so that they could record the League's activities and further discredit them by revealing their "sabotage". Just reminds me of the episode from the DCAU Justice League where Superman destroys Luthor's new city in paranoia because he believed an underground generator was a bomb.

The bottle quote probably refers to the additive being able to detect and trace potential meta-gene hosts for the Reach, considering their grand plan of cultivating and weaponising the meta-gene.

Anyways I will agree with you, I don't think the Light will just casually allow the Reach to invade and conquer Earth. The Light will try to eliminate them once they are of no further use. Should be interesting to see how this all pans out =)
