*It is quickly outputted by a broken pipe held together with duct tape, glue, and fabric*

@Webmaster

Needs more science. *A translucent, rippling wall appears, blocking the area from the outside; I touch the conglomeration and it loses all stickiness, falling apart*

*The entire pathway is normal but with thick green gas obscuring the view*

@Webmaster

*Follows the gas to its source*

The leak is where the big ball of duct tape is.

@Webmaster

Heh, thanks. I'll be out in a jiffy. *Goes through the door and looks to see what's ahead of me*

*Looks sharply toward the fire*
...No. At least, not one that would work for you.

@Webmaster

Okay, that's fine. *Pulls a spray bottle out of my backpack, shuts my eyes, and sprays all over my face and head* Ugh, I hate this stuff. Anything else you want to let me know before I go down there?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Balance>

Oh, okay!

@Webmaster

*Steps into the camp from the perimeter, looking wet* Ventriloquism. Science is so cool. You don't happen to have a gas mask, do you?

How are you going to do chemistry without supplies?

@Webmaster

I do have supplies.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Balance>

Are you sure?

@Webmaster

Absolutely.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Balance>

Huh?

@Webmaster

Basically, it'll be fine.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Balance>

How will that help?

@Webmaster

Exactly how it helped the last time I dealt with this same toxic gas.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Balance>

I'm sorry?

@Webmaster

Don't worry. I'm a scientist.
