The Thorns

Androids that serve as the security force of the city. They are connected to the AR network and typically stay stationary, often being for pointed poles on the edge of the side walks. When alerted by the network of a disruption, they activate, their appearance becoming more humanoid. They then act to correct the issue, whether it is as 'benign' as a Cattle getting lost or stuck, or as serious as an outsider causing problems with The Flowers.

Outsiders are either chased out of the city, captured for 'processing' or outright killed, depending on the seriousness of the 'offense'.
