“No emotion, but one. No bond, but one.” would’ve been a way cooler Scorpio Code imo. All you can be is devoted (the emotion) to the Scorpio part of the government (the bond). It’d encourage obsession with the code and be the one place Scorpios could legally try to weasel in expressing other emotions. That and I think it’d help fuel the oppressive religion allegory better
