"The Flowers that Bloom in the Spring..."

We've got to stop them!

Why? If the peasants can grow more corps and raise more Cattle we can be paid more taxes. Besides, have you seen silk? Mulberry trees could make us rich!

Or get us killed! The Red Weeds kept the peasants under control. They had to constantly struggle just to feed themselves.

Yes, unending constant struggle.
The blight that's killing the Red Weeds is a blessing. Now the peasants can become comfortable and we can become rich.

If the peasants become comfortable, why would they need Lords? Or tolerate us?

Vast fields have changed from dull red to vivid green. They say the black rot that is killing the Red Weeds (the native "plants" of the planet Cycnus) was created in one of those hidden tech enclaves South of the river Rhea Silva. Once the black rot causes spots on the Red Weeds earth plants can grow near them and crowd them out. Earth plants actually need less water, sunlight, and good soil, to thrive.

More later...
