According to the Reorganization story, Flowers perceive their surroundings through a combination of light patterns caused by motion and perception of surface thoughts. They'd be able to know that the Angels were there, if only from the telepathic aspect, which would still activate the quantum-lock.
Of course, this raises the question of what happens to the Angels when observed by a Flower. They wouldn't be able to move regardless, but I remember something being said about them not looking like angels when they're able to move around. Since the Flowers don't "see" per se, would the Angels still turn into their sharp-toothed winged humanoid form when quantum-locked by Weeds? I think it's an interesting question.
Well, the shields were down during the Blackout, so HQ might have just started slowly coming apart, creating an increase in plot holes. Since the holes get bigger and nastier when the null zone is broached, I'm pretty certain that's what led to HQ being tangled up with the other worlds in the roleplay. HQ's undefined nature would allow other worlds to imprint on it, and in turn, allow temporary interdimensional transit. In turn, the Creepers and Angels could just come in through the cracks.
Of course, since SeaTurtle started the roleplay's element of dimension juncture, he's got the defining say on why all the Creepers and whatnot showed up, so this is just a theory for now, and one without much precedent at that. Still, I think it sounds pretty plausible, given HQ's nature.
