    "Apparently not."

    "I'll get right on it, Sire."

    Dammit! Of all the people to start as your next door neighbour, Toku is... well, he's not Monty at least. But we aren't exactly going to be able to take him out in an axe-rush. We can try and settler rush to choke him out until catapults become available. Or we can roll a new start.
