[The voice that speaks into the phone is strangely calm.  After having suffered a severe shock and half-believing he had been transported back to Westport, Lucas wisely decided to remain at home.]

Please listen, everyone.  There are some things you should know about these people.

We called them the hazmat men when they first showed up in Westport.  They started off pretty slow and they weren't much of a threat, but as the days passed, they became much faster, stronger, and smarter.  I don't know how they'll behave now, but to be on the safe side, you should assume that they're at full power.

If you have to fight them, you should know that there's nothing underneath the suits.  Blunt force won't do anything and they won't react to getting hit.  What you need to do to break through -- stabbing or piercing or shooting works.  When the suit is opened, they release a lot of poison gas that can kill you if you're too close.  If you touch them or if you inhale any of it, the chemicals will burn you badly.  Some people died from the gas alone.

They attack with axes and they carry gas sprays with them.  Don't let them touch you.  The best thing to do if they're chasing you is to run.  They're not too fast.

...I see. Thank you for the advice.

[Not that he'd stand much of a chance if he ever did face those things, he thinks.]

You're welcome. Even still, it's best not to have to fight at all . . .

That's true. Still, it's good to know what we're up against.

. . .

Wherever he is right now . . . I hope he doesn't get found.

...so do I. He seems to have suffered enough.

[identity profile] a-gentle-boy.livejournal.com 2010-10-21 08:31 pm (UTC)(link)
Do you think we can save him?

[identity profile] a-gentle-boy.livejournal.com 2010-10-21 08:40 pm (UTC)(link)
. . .

We have to believe . . .

Yes...I think that's the best we can do for now.
