They also knew that the scribes were a group of evil people. At that time, they had exterminated countless galaxies before attracting the scribes. However, the attitude of the scribes was only to think that their extinction had severely affected the observation, not because of the extinction.
Obviously, this was a group of extremely cold guys. They did not become Exterminators, but they just felt that observing the rise and fall of civilizations was much more interesting than extinction.
