The fireplace was roaring. Alex could feel the heat building up in his suit, the water sloshing about between his two rubber skins.
He knelt, gas masked forehead pressed to the stone floor.
“Have you thought about what I asked?”
His Master had arrived. Alex didn’t dare sit-up until told to do so.
“Yes Sir.”
“And?”
“Sir, I… I don’t know.”
“You don’t know?”
“No Sir. Your boi doesn’t know what he needs. Please Sir, please decide for me.”
A rubber boot appeared in Alex’s vision. It was white and, as it was used to raise Alex’s chin, he followed it up. White boot, attached to a white suit.
His Master was wearing the same thing Alex was. Suit, boots, and backpack. His gas mask was different, with a single mirrored visor. And the gloves on his hands actually had individual fingers!
