[QUOTE="Urko, post: 2626643, member: 30822"] [b]Kolbek answers questions[/b] Kolbek shakes his head at Sanae’s query. [color=darkorchid]”No, they’ve never taken prisoners before. Always crops and tools. The casualties we’ve had have been people who happened to get in the way, but it seems like they’ve done their best in the past to avoid contact.
