If the fertilizer really hits the ventilation I'll be doing my best to shepherd all my family members and their partners up to my mum's place in the hills outside my city. Then my guess is that we'd all head to my mum's other place in the far south of the state. My mum and her husband are scientists who spend most of their working lives doing field work in remote parts of my state. Mum's a botanist with an incredible knowledge of growing and preparing edible plants and her husband is a marine biologist. They have the vehicles, equipment, stores and skills that would certainly increase our family's survival chances greatly. They both have pretty deep-seated pacifist beliefs though, so my brother and I would be handling all the tasks requiring violence, brutality and "big boys' rules", I suspect.

I would do just about anything to protect my family, including sacrificing myself. That's not even really a conscious decision, it's instinctual, so I'm not claiming to be the most brave or heroic dude ever born or anything. Obviously I'd prefer it not to come to that, but I'd prefer death to living with the knowledge that I could've saved a family member but didn't act when I should've.
