These "flowers" are complex arrays of circuitry, each petal covered in carefully laid copper wires. Filaments run from the petals into a ruddy stronglass sheath, ending in a now-dead diode. The entire device pulses with inner heat.
The merecaster puts you in the shoes of a mutant in the Oasis, who witnesses one of his own suffer a brutal assault at the hands of human supremacists. It segues into a story about the humans and mutants of Jerboa, giving you the ability to either lead the mutants into oblivion (if you mishandle the situation), a city-wide riot (if you convince them to fight), or the authorities intervening (by interrupting the Burgrave with a tentacled hand).
