Can't Stop, Won't Stop, Unsure how to stop

i've been reunlocking pandaemonium on my viera alt

Not in a magic vs magitek sense because that's boring and i don't care, but because i want to see their philosophy in action. What does Sharlyan's stance of 'history happens to other people' do when history knocks on the door. The end of days is too neat, and the goddess given mission having already been accepted by their predecessors generations ago lets them dodge much of the decision making. Especially when so much of the story so far has been about disgusting grubby real wars, I don't like letting the question get side stepped in favour of metaphor.

I want to know what the plan is when the Garlean navy surrounds the island. There is nowhere to run. The maelstrom isn't sailing in to save the day. Their trading partners cannot get in. They cannot get out. Resources are dwindling. What now?

They are pacifist extremists, specifically contrasted with Gridania's armed neutrality, Sharlyan calls armed defense just war mongering in a different hat. So lets put the question to them.

Say Garlemald offers a bargain. They don't want to go to war either. Surrender, and we won't enlist your children into the foreign legions. You can be our engineers. Our strategists. (Only the 'real people' among you of course, beast tribes and such don't count). Maybe nothing has to change at all, you just have to let us build a military base and airport on the eastern side of the island we can use to wage war on Eorzea.

You can keep your hands clean. No blood has to be spilled today.

I was thinking about the Blorbos—as per usual—and decided to make a list of questions that would help others get to know them better.
