And to that last sentence I do believe (and I could be wrong here) that once the flowers of death were introduced, we were told that "How they react to us will be determined by how we react to them." The initial suggestion from a number of players to that statement was "Don't shoot at them."
Naturally, that suggestion went right into the trash bin. What followed of course was lots and lots of war, along with the ensuing death and destruction of lots of stuff. And a couple of Titans showing up for a year and a half of fun.
I will be honest, sometimes I wonder what would have happened if no one had taken a single shot at them.
Maybe, when the guardian AI shows up, whichever player encounters them first could probably try this experiment: don't shoot at it first.
For science, and all that.
