The quote "In the land of the unarmed, the man with a rock was king" from Steve Perry's "The Ramal Extraction: Cutter's Wars" suggests a scenario where power dynamics hinge on the possession of even the most basic tools. In a context where individuals are defenseless, having any means of defense or offense, no matter how primitive, bestows significant power upon the holder. This reflects a larger commentary on strength, vulnerability, and the nature of power in society.
