The Great Conflict

You head over to the locker and put on the hazard suit. It is a suit specially designed to survive temperature extremes, acid, poison gas, and many other types of environmental hazards you could encounter. The remarkable feature of the suit it is really thin and light weight. It is made of a special material that actually creates a magnetic force shield around you and the environment protecting you. While this cannot absorb direct attacks it is great for navigating otherwise lethal environments. You quickly don the suit and head down the shaft.
