Even when just starting out in Season of Defiance, one thing stood out to me; how accepting Mara is of us. Before and even now, while sometimes with good reason, she would keep secrets from us. The Dreaming City, Riven, Savathun’s containment, etc.
Now, she’s even lending us her paracausal powers. Not to even just us, but [i]all[/i] Guardians, as stated by the scepter. The scepter even states how weird of a move this is by Mara.
Was Mara compromised? Is this all in fact real and just recognizes the weight of the fight between us and the Witness? My guess is she definitely has a plan of some kind but we must wait until we can know more.

Cause she knows we are in a good position to win and knowing Elsie is looping due to failures, she doesn’t risk much helping us. It’s smart.
