[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.

. . . Um.

[It also had Giriko and Roshian in it. Lucas smiles a little.]

I promise I'll come by if I don't feel safe. As for the hazmats . . . what can we really do?

[What was the probl- oh. Luke kind of forgets that not everyone agrees with how his not!family does things.]

Or er, I suppose if you need any help I'll be around too. As far as the hazmats are concerned, maybe we can set traps for them...?

OK, thanks. But I think we should wait on that until they're all trying to kill us again. It'll make them mad . . .

We can start planning for it, though.

I agree, the sooner we have a plan the better.

The best way to defeat them is definitely with bullets. Or arrows. As much as I don't like guns, I think they go down in one shot and the gas can't reach.
