No doubt these flower people are tough down here, and I doubt they will back down. All the more reason to hit first and hit hard.
On the other hand, if this place really does have some sort of sec mechanism that kills anyone that initiates violence, maybe their hands are tied too.
Or maybe non lethal stuff like your narcoject is acceptable? ??
Way too many unknowns.
But as for dying, for me and Al, better death than losing a single family member.
Anyway, we're already up against at least S-K and the government's druid army. The flower folk are just icing on the cake!
