Quote from: The Cruentus on Apr 12, 2024, 08:39:55 PMSo many silly actions happen.
Ledworth saying he is going to take a piss only to just have a ciggy break. Why didn't he just say he was going for a ciggy break? Hardly an illegal or bad reason.
Hallet putting his face right up to a spore sac.
Rosenthal going off alone etc.
Karine was running ecology samples so I imagine if Ledward had said he was going to smoke a cig, she would've rebutted saying she didn't want him possibly polluting/contaminating the environment with unnatural chemicals and litter.
Given Rosenthal was an armed member or the security team and saw that the Neomorphs could be killed with gunfire, and David was still alive and well within the temple after 11 years, she must've felt safe enough to venture off to clean up her wounds.
With Hallet, the away team just spent the last handful of hours on the planet and hadn't encountered danger, animals, or insects of any kind, and plants/fungi aren't lethal unless touched or eaten, I imagine he didn't think much of it. He also had gloved hands when he did decide to disturb it. I mean, Ledward didn't put his face in front of the spore sac and it
still managed to infect him.
