From the labs

[alyx_vance]

Okay, I've found a place here I can work in, and the equipment here is top notch. Definitely in better condition than what we normally had to make do with.

I can get these scutter guys to handle a lot of the precision shaping and fitting, so that will save some time. Otherwise I'd be here for... ages.

Oh, cool, you found the labs.

Um... did someone already tell you that you should be carrying a gas mask?

[alyx_vance]

Yeah, I'm just getting started before Gordon arrives.

I... don't think so. But there are a lot of precautions I need for some of the stuff I'm setting up. Guess I should take care of that first.

Is that a normal part of the guidelines, or is there something that made you ask?

[finalgirl]

It's... generally a good idea.

One of the bad things about Nexus anything is that you might run into a guy who calls himself the Scarecrow. He likes to throw around fear gas.

Since he was getting all bitchy a few weeks ago, and asking why he shouldn't gas the Nexus again, I've been trying to tell all the new arrivals to bring a gas mask.

Plus, I think I saw him in the labs just now.

[alyx_vance]

I see.

I should go do be doing stuff now. And check the locks. And maybe get another gun.

This keeps getting better and better. And he's just what? Allowed to wander around by himself? What's he look like?
