So, I collected all the evidence and knowledge we have on Scarlet at the moment and compiled it into lists to help people speculate viable theories.

Scarlet’s Plan Includes:
-Dragon Energy
-Leylines
-Bloodstone/Obelisks[?](Similar properties)
-Four Main Elements[Earth(Dredge), Fire(Flame Legion), Water(Krait), Air(Aetherblade)]{Other Elements? Plant(Sylvari), Chaos/Illusion(Krait/Sylvari)}
-Synthesizing Machine and Organic[Watchheart]
-The Mists[“The Dream”, Eternal Alchemy]
-Evolution[Tequatl, Prophet/Hybrid]

Connections Drawn:
-The Mists: It is said Scarlet looked into the Eternal Alchemy, or something even broader than the Dream, apparently the world itself. You know who else is said to have done that? Kerrsh of Guild Wars. Possibly something about gods, dragons, spirits of nature, mursaat, or whatnot?
-Dragon Energy: Apparently flows through leylines and is very similar to chaos energy
-Flame+Dredge: Sonar technology plus fire magic, an allusion to combining technology and magic in new ways. Also, with the forging abilities of the Flame Legion with the Dredge drill design, Scarlet was able to create the probes and the Breachmaker Drill.
Pirates+Inquest: Pirates used as the brute of the working and fighting force, building ships and doing grunt work as the Inquest design, build, and power both the airships and the air-lightning magi-tech weapons the pirates use.
-Watchwork+Steam: Both using the same basic design, industrial-type asura-like weaponry. Likely used to simply bolster her army. Easily replaceable, easily repaired, very expendable. In short, good for the dangerous jobs that people wouldn’t go on.
-Evolution: Created a Krait “Prophet” with a trait to spontaneously evolve at rapid speeds. It is presumed the same was done to Tequatl, drawing a connection to tweaking with dragons.
-Watchheart: The combination of plant and machine
-Krait+Nightmare: Created new, lethal plant life that can poison the air and cause mass hysteria
-Obelisks: Similar in property to Bloodstones, which contain Uncorrupt Magic. Perhaps it can be used to make Soul Batteries?
-Hybrid/Prophet: The Toxic Hybrid is a “hybrid” by name, but a hybrid of what? Krait and Sylvari? Krait and Dragon? Krait and Sylvari and Dragon? Normally, I’d assume the first option of being from both parties of the alliance, however mixing in dragon magic may still be a viable possibility.
-Miasma: Apparently not the same as the Tower of Nightmare’s toxin/pollen. Corrosive and lethal. Possibly from Tequatl, so says one theorist.

If I missed anything, please let me know.

-Flame+Dredge: Sonar technology plus fire magic, an allusion to combining technology and magic in new ways

Some weapons, yes, but not the main purpose of the alliance. Scarlet needed the Flame and the Dredge for one single purpose; to make her gigantic drill. With Flame’s forging ability and Dredge’s drill design, it’s the best partnership to get the job done.

Pirates+Inquest: A use of henchmen and advanced technology with air magi-tech. In this way, I doubt every pirate Scarlet has on her side is an elementalist, so they have magic weapons that are easy enough to reproduce in mass and for common people to use.

Not quite. Pirates build ships, Inquest makes it fly. Pirates make weapons, Inquest makes them more potent. Obviously, the Pirates are to build ships and weapons and the Inquest are to create a power source for both. Their combined effort made the giant drill a floating mother ship.

-Watchwork+Steam: Both using the same basic design, industrial-type asura-like weaponry. Likely used to simply bolster her army.

If you observe the watchwork carefully, you’ll find that they are disposable and at the same time, they have a repair bot flying around. When dealing with Asura technology, things blows up and history tells us that there’s a lot of Asura, Bookah, and other species have died as part of an Asuran experiment. So to minimize casualty, it’s obvious that the watchwork are not mainly for her army, but also built to handle hazardous materials and risky experiment. When things blows up, nobody dies and the watchwork gets repaired.
