[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.

Shooting. Got it.

. . . Um. Try not to shoot them unless you really have to, still.

Don't worry about that with me. I'm more interested in protecting others than fighting them.

Yeah . . .

We should do what we can to stay out of their way for now. I hope no one will need protection . . .

And if they do, we've got plenty of capable people. We'll be alright, Lucas.

Yeah. . . . We've made it through worse before.

[identity profile] rapier-ex.livejournal.com 2010-10-22 05:07 am (UTC)(link)
So there's no reason to worry!

[identity profile] a-gentle-boy.livejournal.com 2010-10-22 05:11 am (UTC)(link)
I guess so.

Worrying helps me concentrate. I'll just do a little of it.

Sorry . . .

[Lucas is not very good at that.]

It's alright.
