I think Scratch will get away with this transgression. This will, however, set the stage for something later on where Mallers are forced to choose between Durai and Scratch. I won't say similar to the Colony revolution because that was a coup. This is more likely to be an open conflict eventually....

.....but I don't think just yet. Durai will be wary of Scratch, but he'll probably be happy with the Tower's destruction.
