Fate,
The tangler grenade! We've been working on a few polymer versions of this, using Silly String and riot foam as foundations. So far, our problems are more
with the prototypes exerting either too much force or dissolving too quickly. A plant-based solution sounds like an interesting alternative. Unfortunately, I
fear, with many of our operatives being citizens of the Really Real World, using a biological device regularly would not be responsible. I'm not saying
that the Jason hasn't thought this through - clearly by your own concerns, he has - but I don't see it being prudent for us to have many of these. But,
we have plenty of Blazers in Fenspace that can help test. I'm sure some of the Rugsuckers would be overjoyed to play with a new toy. The Junkyard might
benefit from some greenery. I'll pass on the request to Tico and the others.
