[ He’d been thinking more along the lines of contaminating the water, if that truly is their only supply. If mapping this land had taught him anything, it’s that there’s no shortage of readily available poisons to use.
He’ll avoid saying that openly, for the time being. ]

If they are as fond of the water as you say, they might actually thank us for that. But it’s worth bearing in mind.
[That would take too long. And they're resourceful. Poisoning wells was an idea before-- never executed, because that would harm the peasants and thus their food source before anything else. But.]

That would be really funny, wouldn't it? Suddenly, we'll be popular for pulling off a flood attack!
[ He knows one of the drop zones was met with flaming arrows from one of the Neraki tribes. Perhaps they had just been naturally aggressive, or territorial. ]

Who do they think we are, then? Do they have any idea at all?
I can't imagine being terribly welcoming to unknown creatures dropping onto my world, either. I can't blame them, but I'm still curious about what they think.

All the more reason why it's important to make a good impression.

Not much. They don't know why we're here.

You never know, right?

Ahah, that's true. We haven't really been giving them a break, have we?
FROM: takenaka.hanbei@cdc.org
