Object 57: Rusty Dust
Description:
Rusty Dust is a By-Product Gas that is created by the internal activities of the Entities. Smelling or inhaling with this gas is very lethal for the human body, therefore it is advised to avoid interaction with it. Existence of this gas in levels with a survival difficulty over Class 3 is very common due to the amount of entities that inhabitate them. This substance is translucent just like a fog. The difference between normal fog and Rusty Dust is that Rusty Dust has a Greenish Color due to the acidic particles inside it. The reason as to why it was named "Rusty Dust" is that it contains chemicals that are also in the rust. And the reason of the "Dust" is because after some amount of time, the gas solidifies and forms small groups, similar to dust. Due to that, Rusty Dust can be a sign of entity activities around the area. When this substance is inhaled, a very painful process will begin, which will be explained in the Effects thread. Regular gas masks seem to be effective against Rusty Dust, so it is advised to always bring a gas mask with you while wandering in the levels.
Effects:
When this gas is inhaled, a severe pain in the lungs will occur. Some compare it to a gun shot. After 10-20 seconds after inhaling it, the substance will enter the blood vessels and destroy the red blood cells. While this happens, the wanderer (you) will start screaming violently as their body gets destroyed by the gas. If the amount of Rusty Dust that is inhaled is smaller than 5 grams, their body will start to absorb the gas and the blood vessels will start to recover. If the amount of gas inhaled is higher than that, the gas will break down the blood vessels and internal bleeding will occur all over the body, which will lead to the death of the wanderer (you) shortly after.
Usage:
Explosive Usage:
It might sound weird, but this lethal substance actually has a function. Just like its nature, its usage is also very dangerous. When the substance interacts with fire, it causes a great explosion which can tear apart everything within a 5 meter radius. It should be noted that this method of fighting being used against humans is considered as a warcrime and is banned with an agreement that was signed by various groups such as the M.E.G.
