[Everyone else has been making long speeches and giving great advice about the hazmat men. Vince could do that too-- he was in Westport, after all, he'd always known this would happen, he should've prepared for it, should've done a lot of things-- but he's always been a man of few words. Simple, monosyllabic words.]

Don't bloody go outside!

So I've heard. What do these men do?

[numanstan]

Kill people. Hurt people. Explode into clouds of poison smoke. They're kinda predictable that way.

[stephen_owling]

Explode into clouds? Is there nothing human underneath those masks?

[numanstan]

Nothin'. Just smoke. Dangerous smoke, mind, but still smoke.

[stephen_owling]

So they're nothing but constructs. I don't know whether that's encouraging or frightening.

[numanstan]

Frightenin', I think. Though it does take some of the moral questions out of killin' 'em.
