User blog comment:Daddy Danjer/Why need the Keepers if there is the catalyst??/@comment-173.32.228.33-20120613210603

This could b explained away in numerous ways. I can think of a handful of distinct possibilities off the top of my head. But that would require everything to b real and have the necessity of cause and effect. Since the game is not real, the only true answer u can get to that question would b from the actual game designers. My bet would b on "Oops, didn't notice that." or "The Catalyst does not get involved unless the Crucible has been activated. This being a test of the galactic civilization of each cycle." (They do kinda hint at this in the game)
