A cornered Pythium will strike out suddenly and decisively in any direction to make it through alive, it seems. Being Australian (home to the deadliest snakes in the world) I should have had a better appreciation of this when the world declared war a few turns ago.

Not that I would have realistically deflected that Tartarian-infested army, anyways.
Thanks for hosting, Pasha!
