He may just be caught up in all that sick family member stuff.<br/><br/>Regarding Paladin's note there are <em>gallons</em> of acidic blood all over the floor. Can we assume that it eats away at stuff for a while then neutralizes or something coz we're all walking about the place that's dosed in it.<br/><br/>Defending against an alien attack successfully is a bit like painting yourself into a corner when you're home decorating: you may do it right but when you've finished you're stuck - can't walk away.<br/><br/>I prefer the game mechanic of only the LT getting FATHERS updates. I don't think it makes tactical sense for the grunts to be given such information directly - chain of command and chain of information and all that stuff that the military has been (in)famous for for centuries.<br/></blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div><br/>In my mind, I see that the aliens are all dead and there is acid/blood eating away areas of the floor, but I don't think the blood spray would be omni-directional and all encompassing, not that anyone is insinuating that it is. I guess my point is that I think the majority of the acid/blood spray would be in the direction of the exit wound and not the entry wound.... which would mostly be away from Kilo. Sure there would be some spray in Kilo's direction, but I think by and large, Kilo should be fine. Perhaps some minor equipment damage. I don't know how we can get away from every drop of acid/blood.<br/><br/>As to FATHER, I agree that the Lt. should be the only one privy to that information and allow the Lt to disseminate that information as he sees fit.<br/><br/>Sarge, take us in... or out... just take us over there. ;D
