Legion-1 spoke as if admitting that ignorance was bliss was a great sin for him to commit. But in this case, ignorance was actually a good thing for them and the legend guarding the station.
They didn't come here to steal something from a legend without planning to fight the legend. They had prepared two trump cards to ensure that they would at least come out alive from a fight with a legend.
One of those trump cards is the cursed vessel that their fate weaver has been preparing for months. This cursed vessel will strengthen the resistance and rebelliousness of the divine flesh of whoever is cursed.
So this curse is similar to what was used to create the mutants that wore down Captain Sheckel and her team. Anyone who is cursed by it will have a higher tendency of losing control.
One might call the cursed vessel a bomb. It is a bomb that will surely harm the target and might also harm them if the target is a legend.
