Also (can you tell I'm stuck at an airport?) your mission statement says you intend to annihilate the ignorant and uneducated survivors. In the context of your accurate statement of the nature of death in Malton this mission statement would appear... quixotic.
And, I question your definitions of ignorant and uneducated. While I accept that ignorance is harmful it is possible to be knowledgable without being able to quote Proust from memory. For instance our PK squad have amassed a great deal of knowledge about the behaviour and habits of PKers which enable them to effectively hunt these people and thus free up the efforts of civilians in order, for instance, that they can expend their time repairing libraries (say) rather than swaying at revive points. I would consider this a demonstrably beneficial activity rooted in knowledge even if it is not based in formal education and I would challenge the assertion that these people cause harm to humanity by their continued survival.
