I just replayed the 1st mission again and noticing the dialogue. Considering we know now that Savathun had her memories erased, probably had her Hive followers remember some about they're relationship-- they were their version of "The Last City". On first meeting, we killed the Hive guardian (probably no worries) but then [b]we killed the Hive ghost[/b]. And Savathun was referring to us as "honored guests" and not as usual 'guardians' but at the same time I think [b]she had sensed some Darkness in us[/b] because of Stasis and so we were strangers to her that came and attacked her people and killed a ghost-- something that "mirrors us" she said. These [b]Lucent Hive were pure Light[/b] already and we were half Light half Dark.
.
We have to keep in mind [u][b]Savathun was basically "reset" into a fresh new guardian[/b][/u] and she wasn't who she was before and during season of the lost (much like Crow). Despite how devious Savathun's personality seems, she's still like a good leader supposedly trying to protect her people and the Traveler. I think in their eyes (and even objectively) we were the 'bad guys' in this one.

They attack you first. You don’t attack “honored guests”. Unless your philosophy is that of the Sword Logic, in which you try to kill honored guests. Killing typically means…not good. The Ghosts may have pushed the idea of being violent against us, knowing we would come. She could have easily left instructions, in which case OG Savvy told new Savvy to attack intruders. So by her own hand and manipulations, she made her reset self make herself an enemy of us instead of allowing for the chance of reconciliation. And if not her then the Ghosts, who see us as bad guys anyway. I’m fine with the claim that we didn’t attempt to make peace but let’s not act like they were innocent.
